I address all cats, regardless of their size, as Big Fat Kitty.

And have taken to greeting my mom's dog with "What up, dawg???"

He never answers me, though.

Ok. I've calmed down a bit. I know this isn't my fault, but somehow I'm just afraid that the students/professor aren't going to understand that. Oh, well. I can only do what I can do at this point.

I'm currently printing out the lecture notes for Biology, so I can listen to the lectures online. I may disappear for a while while I listen to that. I'm not sure if I'll be able to surf and listen at the same time.

Ha, Tep. Howdy, Bitches.

vw, if the students were in dire need, that's the complaint you would have heard -- not some missing timesheets. It's not your fault.

Cute dogs for cute kids, Gud!

Pet nicknames:

my cat is Justin, called Sunshine for his "official name". I called him Bunny, Bunny foo-foo, Mr. Mew, Meowikins, Bunnykins and most often Kitty.

I know I'm a fast learner, but what bugs me is my memory loss. I mean, back when I played cello (refuses to look at cello sitting reproachfully in corner), I had to memorize recital pieces. And I would, and a week after the recital I couldn't remember them.

Oh, I've always had that kind of memory loss too, Raq. I learned music or a math equation or whatever I needed until I performed or took the test or whatever and then it flitted away. But the actual basics have always stuck and relearning only seems to take a teeny fraction of the time that the original learning did.

I also learned the other week that this applies to driving stick shift too. Good to know.

And now, I really don't have the time for this...and I'm going to have to make up some major lost time. Shit.

there was nothing you could do, short of being super psychic or something.

Aw, shit. But exactly what Nora said. Though being super psychic would be cool. If you pick up that trick, could you give me a shout? I've got a few questions.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

snerk

I am "working" in my silk jammies and furry slippers. I wish I were also getting paid to do this but nothing's perfect.

---

Ok...they've recognized that this is not my fault at all. The big guns have been called in to figure out what happened, and they're going to do what's necessary to fix things with the students and prof. Thank goodness.

Oh, and I am listening to my lecture...just in case you were wondering. Guess it doesn't use too much stuff, 'cause I can still surf.

---

vw, that's great news! Woo hoo!

A couple of my co-workers just left to pick up Dairy Queen. I ordered a hot fudge sundae. Yum!

Of course, they waited until after I already ate lunch (nasty bbq beef sandwich - only ate half and then threw the rest away in another co-workers trash can so they'll smell the bbq all day instead of me) so I'm basically full... but I figure there's always room for ice cream.

but I figure there's always room for ice cream.

My mother always said ice cream just melts between the cracks, so, yes -- there's always room.

She also had me believing that it was a food group at one point in my kindergarten career.
