And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sparky, I will admit I actively tried to get her fired.

Good. From your description, I wouldn't want her in front of a classroom either.

Nor, JZ, do I hate you for wanting your teacher out of there. I'm not advocating for bad teachers, or wrong ideas. I'm just saying that someone who holds and expresses a belief I think is wrong or not based on fact shouldn't be dismissed solely because of that belief or expression. That's the premise from which I start -- then I'd consider the age of the children involved and the actual content in the classroom, etc.

(Sorry I'm not typing in a timely fashion -- I'm actually on the Reference Desk right now, and taking calls and answering patron questions).

Except for the thunderstorms, I am sarameg. Freeeeeeezing at work.

To be fair, my apartment probably isn't that hot today, but it is some days, and - and this is the key part - it's just as cold at work on those days. I'm shivering with cold air blowing on me. Brrrrrr.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

am I the last person in the world to see this site?

I remember it coming to light briefly a few months ago when there were a suspiciously large number of "Jesus' face appears on [insert toasted bread product here]!" auctions on eBay, and it turned out that the auctioneers had all used the Jesus Pan.

[eta: Actually, that specific site looks like a hoax. There was definitely a Jesus-pan-ebay-mini-scandal a few months back, though.]

Punishingly Intricate

Why can't I decide where to stop and grab something for dinner since I'm betting my apartment is the temperature of the surface of the sun and no way in hell am I cooking?

Do you like Asian noodle dishes? A cold noodle dish can be just the thing in this weather. They have really good (if a little pricey) ones at Suzi Soba's on the Ave. and I'm sure there are some other good ones nearby.

I'm totally feeling you on the heat. In my case, though, my office AC is broken (as it is EVERY summer!! And we were supposed to move this year and didn't and so here it is summer again and it still doesn't work right grrrr) so it's been in the mid 80s and humid there all week.

So, DH shouldn't buy this for his friend? It's so PERFECT for him!

do you work in my building? we should have lunch!

In our case, it's 15K to replace the chiller, so theyve decided that it's cheaper to just give anyone who asks a window unit. and it's especially cheaper if they take 2 years to do it.
