Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Ugh. Parental whine:

Daycare called. Franny has some bug bites, and now they want me to take her home and have a doctor send a notice verifying that she doesn't have chicken pox. Grr. Okay, yes, I understand their POV so I'm doing it, but the doctor has already checked her and diagnosed it as bites. Now I need ANOTHER doctor to look at her? Annoying.

Also, this means I'll have her with me this afternoon and consequently won't get my grading done.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Can you have the first doctor's office fax the school a note to that effect?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I never put it past state leges to pass stupid laws. I'm from Louisiana and I live in Texas.

Apparently my mind is idle and still in vacationland. My brain has decided-while refusing to do anything resembling work- that what it really really wants is 1) A study to see if the most popular kids in school have last names usually ending in the first 8 letters of the alphabet and 2) A musical about the UAE port issue with Michael Jackson as a villianous mastermind. My brain needs booze.

I don't even want to know about the content of that spam.

So mail is slowly trickling in. Erratically. I get something from 45 minutes ago. Then something from 12 hours ago. Things sent seconds apart from the same person appear 4 hours apart. Not to mention my call software is getting nothing, while the mailing list it's on is still managing to distribute it to me. It's a little maddening.

Emergency grammar question!

In the phrase "dos and don'ts", can someone find me a cite for using or not using an apostrophe in the dos (do's)?

Thankee!

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

Um, it's not a contraction or posessive, so no apostrophe?

(Have no idea where to look for cites.)

eta: There seems to be a rule of thumb that says, "Put an apostrophe in if it looks weird without one." I think this rule is wrong.

ION, I get to go home early!
