Midnght at L'Oasis

Last night I attended a fun dinner. I thought we'd be doing this a lot, but we've found it hard to meet people on campus. The dinner was for the "planet builder" candidates for a junior faculty job. I know three of the candidates. I got to hang out with one of them and his girlfriend before dinner, and sat next to another during the meal. The university paid for dinner and the head of school and his assistant plied us with drinks. I thought it was about 10 pm when we left, so I was shocked that it was 11:40 when I walked in the door of our flat. Christine and Joey were faithfully awaiting me.
