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.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Mute. Snark.
Just double-check that mute is in fact on....

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.

Maybe a couple of tutoring sessions would help you?
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.

Hey!
Whew. My DSL got cut off on Wed., so I have been out of the loop since then. Fortunately, my temp jon has internet and they are encouraging me to use it "to keep from getting bored."
Sweet.
Jon got MARRIED?! Congratulations! I skipped (there were a 1000 messages) -- so can anyone give me the 411?

I actually like a salad with no lettuce.
I could do that, except it would make the vegetable base tomatoes, and I don't actually like tomatoes that much. (I can just about tolerate them cut into small pieces and mixed with a bunch of other stuff. In big slices with just dressing, NSM.)

Mute. Snark.
No, you don't understand. It was 5 people in a tiny, windowless room, none of us with computers, trying to get a word in edgewise with an overbreaing phone person. It wasn't that she droned on and on; it was that she wouldn't listen when we asked her to revise, and then when we got our sentences out of our mouths, she argued.
There are lower circles of hell, but they involve Geraldo, the T, and gastric distress.

so can anyone give me the 411?
We're waiting for the updated FAQ.
