Also, apparently Mass. has a fairly long list of requirements for Dance teacher licensure. Impressive.
Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

In other news, OMG Most Frustrating Conference Call Evar:
1) topic is a market segmentation interview script
2) 3 participants are on the phone, including the two who are explaining everything
3) one of these participants attempts to steamroll everyone else at every opportunity
4) Because she is on the phone, we actually have to interrupt her to let anyone else finish a sentence
5) we are her client, not the other way around
6) we go quite a bit over our time arguing idiotic semantics while a different scheduled call of mine has to wait
Aieee. This can only be remedied by silent making of faces, and a break for lunch while the sun is still shining.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
LJ, I actually like a salad with no lettuce. Because as it turns out? I don't really like lettuce all that much, and really not enough to buy it for myself.
Particularly because, in my own little learning quirk, I can learn things speedily and very well from a person which confound me in a book.
Maybe a couple of tutoring sessions would help you?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I can't bear the idea of spending $5 to ship $6 worth of merchandise.
Can you pretend that they raised the price to $9 but cut the shipping to $2?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
All that time that I was bitching about doing my cow-orker's work while she was on leave? I was forgetting that I do all her fucking work while she's here, as well. Bah.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, midle school certainly has gotten more advanced since I was in it. Or last taught 8th graders, for that matter. Abstract algebra is, as I recall, hard. Differential Equations was a sophomore level course at my (science and engineering focussed) college.
Though after years of hearing people aske "When would you ever need to use Algebra?" and "What good are fractions, anyway?", maybe I'm just surprised that there are, in fact, math requirements.
Emily, can you hook up with someone else taking the exam and study together? SOmetimes you just need to explain it to someone else to remember what you know, if that makes sense.

Hmmm. Spossible. The question is, can I get my student loans to pay for it? Also, why won't my school post who's teaching classes? It hasn't been a problem before, but now it really is. I need to know, dammit!
In other very frustrating news, Netflix has added two Billy Connolly standup DVDs (I've been a sucker for him since "Small Blue Scottish Person," which must have been a special or something, since I can find no trace of it anywhere) but has no idea when they'll be available.
