YAY coffee ice cream! Man, why didn't I get that on my way home? Instead I got Jiffy-Pop, which was HIGHLY entertaining. Maybe tomorrow will be ice cream day. Now I guess it's bed time.
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And yet, he didn't stink. It's good to see you have your priorities in order.
Yup! I can't decide what order to put those three mandatory qualities in, since they are all very important. I am unhappy if my partner is not in possession of all three.
However, I still feel like dancing, but class is over.

Alibelle, do you want to play hooky for two days in April and house sit for me? You'd be right near the Grove...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had good class today too. It started late, mostly because the instructor was working me out on the focus mitts. Seeing as I had been standing there in awe watching instructors work each other out, it was cool to get to work myself.

April 21st and 22nd- a thursday and Friday. I wouldn't be able to drive you here, but I could drive you home late Friday night, and give you cab fare.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
(I hope someone is awake.)
I just fucked up. I did a resume for someone, and somehow didn't notice the red underlining from automatic spellcheck and sent it out with a typo. My client emailed it out before *he* noticed the error, and sent me an email saying "thanks for the resume help, but please run spellcheck in the future. I hope [employer] HR doesn't hold the typo against me."
So I'm trying to decide how to respond. Does this strike the right tone?
My deepest apologies for that. I have automatic spell check turned on while I work, but somehow I overlooked the red underlining on that one. Again, I'm very sorry. And while I doubt [Employer] would hold it against you, there is always the option of sending a corrected version. When I've served on hiring committees, there were cases where people did that, and if anything it left a positive impression that the applicant was conscientious.

Susan, it looks right to (the very unexperienced in that sort of things) me - you take full responsibility, apologize, and try to offer an advice for improvement, with knowledge behind how it may be accepted, not just "throw it in the air".
The network comes and goes here, which means matlab is alive and dead accordingly (it needs a connection in order to work, due to its license). I've passed the point of "verge of tears". I'm on the verge of laughing desperately and scaring everybody around. Sigh.
Remember how that bold magigian int he smurfs was going "I *hate* smurfs!"? Right now I'm him (minus the bold and the cat): "I *hate* computers!". In Hebrew, it even rhymes.
