This is possibly not academically polite enough, however.

Yeah...I've had to rephrase things several times because of this very reason.

Meeting with this joker twice does not sound like winning to me vw. Not exactly appreciative.

Nope. Not at all. And the thing is, the girl that I'm working with is SO appreciative, so it's like polar opposite.

People! I require entertainment when I take my paper breaks after I write a sentence! It recharges and rejuvinates me, by gum, so chatter away!

Oh, man. I guess I'll have to do work or some such.

I'm with Nora! I need entertainment while I listen to thes biology lectures!

I have to do 8 million loads of laundry and pack my apartment up in preparation for moving today. Donwanna.

Moving today? Yay!

Whenever I type a sentence, I come over here and reward myself by refreshing my message center. It is very discouraging when there are no new messages!

t cries pitifully

How many bio lectures do you have to listen to, vw?

I'm on my last one! (I had to listen to three.) Yay!

I really have three more to listen to, but they're not on tomorrow's exam, so they will wait till later in the week.

Oh, moving day. Moving Day sucks.

I hope that things will settle down soon for you soon, Kristin.

No, not moving today, but bathroom goes bye-bye Tuesday morning and new place won't be ready until Wednsday or Thursday, so I have to get my place packed up and ready now. If I wasn't working this week I'd have more time, but alas. I'm going to be floating between here (caring for kitties and such) and staying at ND's (working bathroom and such) until I can move.

Man, vw, you're being SO much nicer than me.

I'd be sorely tempted to leave the self-entitled little shithead to his own devices. He doesn't want to meet with you those two times? He thinks he's doing you a frigging FAVOUR? When you are PUTTING YOURSELF TO TROUBLE TO HELP HIM? Fine. Peachy. You deserve the rest. He can fucking well do the work himself and in double time and choke on it.

Seriously. His attitude sickens me.

In less angry news, as I type, elsewhere in Maadi the Maadi Community Church is having a children's nativity play featuring real camels. I'd be there myself, but we just got back from singing the Hallelujah Chorus and assorted carols at the residence of the British Ambassador. I'm full of mulled wine and mince pie. Yum.
