Vacation? Yeah, I found out yesterday I'll get ONE week after a year and two weeks after THREE years.
UGH. I'm sorry. They didn't tell you that when they offered the job?

[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.

Nope. My fault on that, I didn't really ask. Since two weeks is pretty much the norm, I didn't even think about it.
Oh! Fay, how did fandom bring you to Jim's Big Ego? I have a much-treasured download of "Math Prof Rock Star" but can't remember how I heard of it in the first place. Though it could have been searching iTunes for songs with "Math" in the titles
The Clucking Belles' most excellent SGA Rodneycentric vid Stress.
I am, however, entirely smitten with the notion of Math Prof Rock Star now. Oh yes.
Fay, did you get copies of the songs you wanted? My ex-student who wrote at least one song with him tells me you should just email Jim. I can give you the name of said student, so you can drop it into the email, if you'd like.
Oh bless.
That's really sweet. I think I'm good, though - I appealed to Obi Wan Kefriendslist as my only hope, and now I've got illicit copies of the music, and feel entirely guiltfree, what with having bought the music like a good girl, only to find it all broken like. Plus, looks like iTunes can help me out with other stuff...
I'm glad you got what you needed, and I was glad to have the excuse to touch base with that old student. He was a good guy who announced, the first time he came in to office hours and looked at my CD collection, "Wow, when we live together we're going to have doubles of everything!" And thus began a 2 year flirt-a-thon that was wonderful fun.
Crime, poverty, etc. nearly all of societies ills can be cured by it. We need more of it. We should pay for it. Schools should be cathedrals and teachers treated like rock stars.If we had this, and affordable, accessible healthcare, we'd never recognize the place.

It's apparently easier to pay for prisons and wars.
When are they going to put me in charge of everything, dammit?

hands her life over to Cashmere
Hey, it's a start....
Cashmere can run my life too. Then maybe I'd email her once in a while... (before the end of the day!)

This is what I was trying to point out to co-worker. If kids who have "given up" on school aren't forced to go, where are they going to be? I said it would raise the rate of juvenile crime. She said they should take money away from the "war on drugs, that isn't working" and put it toward punishments for early offenders, like "sitting with the elderly" or "writing book reports". Which... sounds like a) a social program, which I thought conservatives were against, and b) more schoolwork that they didn't want to do in the first place!
The eyerolling continues.
