I'm sorry to hear that ita. I hope everything goes as best as it can.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

JPL probably has some secret anti-quake field going on.
That's really the purpose of the deer.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
JPL probably has some secret anti-quake field going on.
Nuh uh!
Is that the official response? Did the CIA come up with that one for you JPL people?
"If anyone asks about Area 51, secret anti-earthquake fields or Diebold electronic voting machines you are to respond 'Nuh-uh'. Got it?"

Woe to the fucking wicked.
MM, clearly the CIA realized that scientists speak a totally different language.
I'm sure they vetted the response, though. The first draft "uh-uh" was deemed too open to interpretation, and the initial "n" was added.

"Was the moon landing a fake?"
"Nuh-uh!"
Case closed.

AUGH.
Okay, so, one of my supervisors said that she'd like me to train somebody on the website I support, and although horrified, I said sure.
Turns out now she wants me to train several people all by myself tomorrow morning.
Keep in mind that I've never trained anyone on the site before, and haven't even been here 4 months.
Oh, and also, I'm really extra super misanthropic in the morning.

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
Shrift, I know this sounds terrible. I know. But find out who the people are, and maybe pick up a box o' coffee from Dunkins and a box o' donuts.
It's not really for them, it's for you. Your misanthropic morning 'tude will be balanced out. You just say, "I'm a wretch in the morning, so I brought this peace offering in advance."
Everyone chuckles, you do your thing, and they all think you're awesome.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Stupid back/shoulder pain. I ended up skipping swimming because of it.(Just like last Monday. I hope this isn't going to be a pattern)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Turns out now she wants me to train several people all by myself tomorrow morning.

Ohdear. But okay. Deep breaths.
I like the doughnut suggestion. Mmm, doughnuts.
I'm happy to offer basic suggestions, if you want, though I'm sure you know how to organize information.

Hope-it's-nothing-serious~ma for your father, ita.
Donuts are good, shrift. They won't even mind if you throw dry marker board erasers at them. At least, my students didn't. But then, I could flunk them if they objected.
