Case closed.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

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.

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.

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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I've got a little bit of dark chocolate and a banana. Will this be enough to stave off complete boredom before the end of the day?
These are the questions that trouble the American worker.
Update: the chocolate is gone.
Chocolate-less hours stretch before me...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Review went good, squee. I still have a job and we're getting raises!

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
"Was the moon landing a fake?"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Nessie...real?"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Amelia Earhart, still alive?"
"Nuh-uh!"
"Nessie and Amelia Earhart alive, in love and living on the moon?"
"Uh-huh. Oops."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
flea, I'm coming in late, but S. got picked up a few years back for going 25 over the limit. He did have to appear in court, but as soon as he got there the DA offered to drop the charge to 15 over (and thus no chance of suspension) in exchange for pleading guilty. It still sucked, of course, but NC is pretty willing to deal. Either you or mr flea are welcome to email if you have any questions.
And to repeat, sucks.
