Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Thanks guys-- although I think those percentages are just the actual professor being a moron. That is, last year you got a lab grade and a class grade. As part of your class grade, you could either do a paper (graded by the professor) or a lab project (graded by the lab instructor). This year he is making them do both, but he didn't change the percentages to reflect this, so I am taking it as part of the skills area. I have no idea what the other instructors are thinking (and I doubt they are even thinking about it, because two of them are undergraduates and the prof doesn't ask for a backup of our grade). Anyway, I imagine the prof wanted the lab project to count rather more than he seems to imply in the syllabus.

Of course, the prof also didn't run the syllabus by me before giving it to them, so, really-- his problem. Actually, I didn't get a syllabus at all, I just read one of my students....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Would this help spice up the start of the day for non-morning people?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Only once. Then it would be ded.

tonight I have to run home, wrangle the 2 cats into their box carriers, get them to the vet, then get them home with a bag of food. I think I need to call a friend for help.

This is why I take mine to the vet one at a time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sophia, you could send another email, but it sounds like that student is uninterested in the 20% for initiative.

Saw an e-mail that voiced a concern about looking like "a bunch of armatures." I wonder if anyone pointed this out to the author...I'm certainly not going to.

That made me laugh really hard.

I am teaching myself MS Project. Anyone can help?

I can't help, but I think I need to do that, too. Hmmm. I can help with the vet thing, though. Because what's more fun than procrastination? USEFUL procrastination!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ooh, msbelle, that reminds me -- my bro and his partner have two cats. Anyone have vet recommendations? I have no idea where exactly they'll be living in NYC, but anything closer than Boston would be of the good.

If I take mine to the vet one at a time, Oz will hiss at both me and Sylvester for a week after Sylvester's visit.

You'd be amazed.

If you consider destruction, crazed cats, bloodshed and unintelligible cursing "spice."

I can't imagine taking both cats to the vet at the same time without a car. Call a friend.
