So the field placement woman finally called me to say they were still working on it, no problem, they'd let me know when things were finalized, I would almost certainly be going to Randolph. Which is just as far away from the city (and thus from public transportation) as the last place I nixed because I didn't have a car. Apparently the note that I needed someplace on the T didn't get very far last time. So they'll try and find another school. I mean, I could take the commuter rail -- it's only about a mile from the station -- but it is, let us say, not an ideal situation.
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Emily, that is so frustrating! When are you supposed to start? I know the student teachers at my uni start next week and all placements were supposed to be finalized before Christmas.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Erinaceous so has to get herself on the Colbert Report.
She totally should!! She even mentioned him in her NPR piece about new words a couple of weeks ago.

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 could so make that happen, I bet. I would love to play erinaceous' publicist on the phone with the Colbert Report.

When are you supposed to start?
Jan. 23rd. And they sent me an email in December saying, ooh, we haven't gotten your letter of agreement yet! Get that in! Uh, yeah, hi. I've been wondering if part of the problem is how many colleges there are in the area, all spitting out education students needing placements.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did anyone watch ER? Do you think the jailbait chick was telling the truth?

Shit's all sorts of different now.

The whole thing, pretty much--do you figure her father was actually abusive.
I tried to watch Smallville again, since it broke through the cracks in TiVo scheduling. The idea that one guy's young enough to shag Lana and old enough to run for office --well, give me a guy flying in tights instead.

Oh yeah. After he beat the shit out of Dr Young McDreamy last week?
