I am watching last night's Bones the Mayor is on it! It is weird seeing him in something else with DB and not have it be a ME show.

I heard a story once, about a class where the teacher had led the children in a study of animal testing of medications, and the things that are done to them. The class was going to write letters to these companies when one student stood up and said, "I'm diabetic. I feel bad about those rabbits, but without those medications, I would die."

Hey that was like an episode of DeGrassi Junior High! In the ep Caitlin (sp?) was going all extreme animal activist and then she found out that animal testing had led to treatment for diabetes. And she was a diabetic.

Oh, I think the people needing the cluesticking deserve to have it come out of the blue. But the professor (who doesn't seem to be one of them) could use a warning, and that might then make things easier on vw.

If the cluesticking has a chance of becoming over-emotionally charged, then I do think having a quick chat with the professor would be a good idea. But - If we're talking just standing up the next time the guy starts spouting off at the mouth and calmly correcting him/educating him, I don't think a warning is necessary.

None negative at all, just very, very serious.

Some people have a facet of themselves on the web. Some people have none, some people have all. He may have other online facets you didn't find.

Which is why I like to hold off the google until I have much context.

Ugh. We're just coming up on our review period, and a very senior person is making a huge fucking federal case out of a tiny, practically meaningless error I made. Fuckity.

Right. That's why I was thinking that the research was a mistake. AND, the only reason I did it is because I was feeling anxious. NEVER a useful motivator for this kind of thing.

One lesson I learned in all this was, if someone calls on Sunday, don't blithely suggest Thursday...it's too much time to make myself crazy.

eta: Off to get my hair cut and get a little work done before the magic hour.

Once more, I shower the Buffista community with appreciation. I was seriously agitated and after getting y'all's perspective, I'm once again really looking forward to tonight. Thanks!

I hate it when senior people do this to prove just how Very Important they are.

Have a great date, Beej!

I want to see new vw hair pictures NOW. Did you hear me? NOW. NOW. NOW.

Cut isn't till next Wednesday, so unfortunately, you'll have to wait.

Ick. That sucks with the timing, Brenda. Can you request a brief meeting with the very senior person and win them over to the dark your side?

More date~ma on the way to Beej.

Yesterday someone was going on and on and on about ECT being a torture device and people receiving it against their will. Blah, blah, blah. My prof tried to correct him, but the guy just wouldn't drop it.

Coming in a little late on this, but that guy is a Scientologist, or he has been (knowingly or unknowlingly) reading Scientolgy literature. It's one of the central theses to Scientology. He'll likely say he has a 1st Amendment right to blather on idiotically about ECT, when confronted.
