I got one wrong on the English test. I'm kinda pissed. It was a trick question!
I feel clearheaded so far this morning. Wish me luck.
Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

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

Six of twelve on Dickens, which isn't bad considering I don't think I've ever read any. Not in twenty-some years, anyway.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Which question? Food for thought?

20/20 here. What was the trick question?

It wasn't really a trick question. I just thought that long lost (or long-lost) brothers deserved exclamation points even more than they deserve hyphens.
I was probably lucky with the spelling questions -- my spelling is pretty bad right now, and will continue to be for about a week. But they didn't have *my* particular misspellings of the words they offered up, so I was golden.
The math one was fun when I worked out how they wanted me to estimate things. And annoying when I didn't work out in time how they wanted me to.

More on avian flu:
1) A lot of the money is being spent on National Guard for quarantine. And he is giving authority go homeland security -useless and dangerous. 2)So far manadory licensing of Tanaflu does not seem to be happening. My feeling is have the feds give anyone able to produce it a license to do so, assume the liability for the copyright violation, and let the manufacturer sue the feds while the stockpile gets created. 3) On the optimistic side - a lot of deaths from flu are due to secondary infection. We have antibiotics, oxygen tanks and glucose drips to today - not available in 1918. So maybe death toll won't be as high when it happens.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Project must be sent to Portland at noon my time. Just got an e-mail from someone I've never heard of before, asking if we can't change the name of the system, because he finds the name we're using "kind of a mouthful."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I got 10/12 on the Dickens quiz, owing to missing a detail on Dickens's childhood and to never having read Oliver Twist. I'm not sure how I've managed to read Dombey and Son three or four times and OT never. Probably sheer laziness.
I am, probably foolishly, clinging to Typo's 3). Also despairing over 1) and 2).
