[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?

Our kids are getting out the 23 (I think, whatever the Friday is of that week). We don't go back 'til after Labor Day, usually. Last September, the superintendent made noises that we'd start before Labor Day this year, but I haven't heard anything, since.

I'd rather it, this way. It seems to me that early September here is more likely to be nice than late June.

Emmett's last day is June 16th, and school starts (usually) just before Labor Day. But they also get the extra "ski week" off in February.

Thrive to spite them

Today has not been good. There was a "security incident" at work, I wore really uncomfortable shoes and was on my feet for nearly 4 hours straight. And Tropical Storm Alberto is headed this way and I just realized I don't have any food or water. So I have to go after work and buy stuff.

Raq's hair looks amazing. Nora totally deserves more money. I can't wait to see pictures of Jilli's cats (I assume there will be pictures). YAY For Kristen finishing papers.

Ugh, I thought things were going better marriage-wise, but I think I may have blown it. My wife was away for four days at a conference, anyhow I apparently didn't water the plants well enough so I took a lot of flak. Now it looks like I need to work late to fix a mistake I made and when I told her that I got cold rage. Looks like I'll just need to not work late and maybe I can restore things.

Last night after taking a couple of rounds of criticism, my daughter could tell I was a bit down and told me "It isn't that bad Dad". On the one had it was very sweet. On the other hand, I feel like I need to be more stoic around the kids.

Emmett's last day is my birthday!

On my birthday I will probably being going to see a pirate band -- Alaskan Pete and His Salty Seamen.

I think they passed legislation here limiting how early schools could start. They were starting a couple weeks before labor day, but I'm not sure about that rule.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I...I just want to kill everyone. I've been doing everything by sticking to the way past documents have been, and I've been told, "Good job, this is good, you're doing fine," and now we're suddenly in this huge Oh Maybe We Should Have Been Doing Some QA on This Shit Phase and my report is coming back to me with errors upon errors upon comments upon questions I don't have answers to upon formatting upon more formatting upon more questions I don't have answers to and I CANNOT FIX ALL THIS BY EOB TOMORROW. ALSO I WROTE THIS REPORT TWO MONTHS AGO AND I AM TIRED OF LOOKING AT IT.

Always Anti-fascist!

Gud, seriously, there have been times in my life when I would have given paper money to know how my dad felt, ever, okay? It's a gift to let your kids know their dad is a real live person, so long as you are not letting them be your shrink. (I don't really think you would do that.)

Mostly, it's like, "If I was doing all these little things wrong, WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T ANY OF YOU CATCH THEM ALL THIS TIME? BECAUSE NOW THEY ARE ALL COMING AT ME ALL AT ONCE AND I HATE YOU ALL."

Also, {{Gud}}. You have a good daughter there.
