Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I suspect I just got scammed by a guy looking for gas money. But he was genial, well-spoken, not skanky-looking, explained he was working late doing tiling at the elementary school and locked himself out and didn't have enough cash to fill the tank on his car. He showed me his tool belt and his very large key ring.

So, what the hell. I gave him $10 and told him if he was scamming me, karma would get him.

Sounds like a fair deal to me, Suela.

My mom never brought up my birth. Except when I was on my way out the door to get my wisdom teeth pulled, and she sent me off with "frankly, I'd rather go through childbirth again."

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

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

I was attacked by a student today. I wasn't teaching, wasn't training, was in fact in street clothes behind the sign-in desk, and she grabbed me in a bear hug because I took away the piece of paper she was referring to (she's not allowed to have it, by current rules). And there was shrieking.

I told her a) "You really don't want to do this. Trust me. Don't." and b) "Inside voice, dear, inside voice."

Given she bit me a couple months ago, I'm not sure it'll take.

These are the risks of my glamourous lifestyle.

I'm sorry, ita, kick her ass.

Fair deal, really.
I was attacked by a student today. I wasn't teaching, wasn't training, was in fact in street clothes behind the sign-in desk, and she grabbed me in a bear hug because I took away the piece of paper she was referring to (she's not allowed to have it, by current rules). And there was shrieking.
So, according to the rules, are you allowed to hit her? Or muzzle her at least?

No hitting, I fear, especially when a new student is being signed up just over there. She detached, I asked her what that was, and she said (outside voice) that she liked me and couldn't help herself, and was supposed to have the paper. Since it was page two of seven, I let her keep it (plus it was al crumpled in her attack) and she stuffed it into her pants where I assured her it was quite safe from us all.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I like you more than she does, and I can help myself.

I dislike this person. We shall never be friends. And she bit you.

She loses. At life.
