I think I'm allergic to DC. I'm back here a week, and I'm sick again. I barely sneezed the entire summer, but now, full-on stuffed sinuses, wheezing, sore throat from hell.
Actually not needing validation right now, but thank you.

Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil's teaching, isn't she?
TAing during the year. Not really the same.

What is even happening?
ChiKat, congrats!
I don't know how I didn't post that the last time. Sometimes I think a thing so much, I also think I've posted it.
TAing during the year. Not really the same.Were you teaching over the summer, Hil?
And in non-teacher talk, I leave you with the Best (possibly fake) Commercial Ever, from which I am now taking a tagline: [link]
I couldn't get that (possibly fake) commercial to load, Gris. What's it like?
This Fedex/Kinko's commercial is my favorite: [link] Scott and I howled the first time we saw it. Anyone who's ever been part of a soul sucking team at work may enjoy it.
Cindy, thanks for the youtube link. I've been looking for that opening.That baby never fails to lighten my mood.

Yeah, at a program for gifted kids.

"I love their text! It just has so much sub."
Welcome, SCube! I like your tagline.
Thanks! I like your enthusiam.
If it's not to expensive, you might consider getting a laser pointer for amusement purposes. One of my math teacher confiscated one from a troublesome student and ended up using it all year. Endless mirth.

Yay, Chikat!
That was an interesting day's worth of reading to catch up on - love the teacher talk.
I spent most of the day, er, resting. OK, catching up on sleep from Thursday night's lack thereof. Feeling surprisingly unbleary, considering. Thanks again for all the "yay"s - they are great to see!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
One of my loaner customers got pinched for DUI.
In our car.
Which is now impounded.
They are forever banned from getting loaners.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Hec, have you felt some relief with your writing, now that Emmett is back at school?
Definitely. Also, JZ is clearly not in need of me hovering around here every minute so I go off on most days when Emmett's in school.
I grew up with Junior High school being from 7-9th grades. That seems about right, though there's no getting around the fact that 8th graders are pure evil.
We already have a shitload: me, Kristin, ChiKat, Gris, Kat, Emily...am I missing anyone?
Uh...Fay? ND also teaches quite a bit. DXM and Scrappy used to be teachers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Hi all! Welcome, SCube!
Laura, I know I missed the whole discussion, but I was pretty much exceptional but unmotivated for years before they figured out that there was also ADD in the mix -- as a result, I've done a lot of thinking over the years about coping strategies for both kinds. I'd be happy to bounce some thoughts around just as soon as I stop focusing on that shiny thing over there....
Meanwhile, I spent the entire day being abused by a tiny and frighteningly exuberant Frenchman. Brilliant fencing coach, but I'm utterly exhausted and I've had my share of extravert for the month... and yet I'm going back for more of the same tomorrow.

Hey, Hec -- are you home and phone-call-able right now?
