I'm like, an academic roadie or something,

I'd say that Higher Ed. Ad. people are more like producers than roadies. They have to use their sometimes questionable control over resources to convice the unruly groups of faculty and students to get the job done. Getting the job done is the last thing on the minds of either faculty or students, although the first thing on the mind of each group tends to be different. Higher Ed. Ad. is about managing people who are very dedicated to the idea of being unmanagable.

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

This was in a friend's LJ. I hope they mean peonies.

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

Fresh? For only $7.99? That's a hell of a bargain.

What is even happening?

I have these down. Unfortunately, my co-workers have known me long enough that they mostly don't buy it anymore.

I have an similar set of responses for homelife situations, Jesse. Dh knows me well enough that after I give one, he says, "She said, dripping with sarcasm."

I was tickled, because the whole way through, I kept thinking that shrift didn't have to try one single one of them.

Ha! If that "i" had been a "y" in Allisonville, I might never have stopped laughing.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not me! Jessica! Not that my coworkers don't know the same thing about me. When I have coworkers.

Possibly I need to post less so that people don't assume any post by Jess*** is by me.

OK, have achieved pizza for lunch (traditional Good Friday meal) and a Diet Pepsi, so am somewhat more alert and less stabby. Now I'm waiting to see if my groupmates can help me out with the work, but I guess I need to work on what I have so far.

Or more so that...I have no idea. But you've posted less than Jessica this thread.

They let me out of work, and now I'm having a beer in honor of shrift.

Interesting. But still, people have attributed her stuff to me a couple of times recently. Curious.

Maybe I can write a paper about that instead.
