“Not dead yet!”

Seattle-istas! Today's the day-- erm, night. I'm signing at the Lake Forest Park Third Place Books at 7PM.

And sending prayers out to whoever will listen that I won't be all by myself!. Please, please, if you can, make it out there, I'd really appreciate it!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Being selfish again.

I turned in my application for the College of Education at my university today. There is a slight chance that because I was a total fucking idiot about 11 years ago that I could be denied. Could I ask for some "Please understand that I was really young and a total fucking idiot and it would have no bearing on my ability to learn how to be a teacher ~~ ma"?

Of course, if WHEN! I do get in and finish, there is a chance that the state of Michigan could deny me my certification, but I will (try to) worry about that later.

Thanks, loves.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I'll be dark for a week or so, for another trip to the wilds of Tennessee - the last one. Sorry can't call you, smonster!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Requesting job~ma between now and 12 noon board time; reorg and layoff rumors have been flying around my division for the past couple of days, and officemate and I have been called to meet with the division administrator this morning, sometime before lunch. So, needless to say, going pitch-black until then.

Releasing the ~ma. I'm completely re-orged with an increased workload and different supervisors but no salary increase, but I'm not laid off.

Not enough whew! in all the universe.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Some reconsideration ~ ma that my prof lets me take an incomplete? I sent her an email BEGGING her and explaining my situation, which is what advising advised me to do. Please God let it work.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Thanks but she said no. Again. I'm trying to decide if I let the grade stand or if I go above her head.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Beloved Buffistas! I didn't think I was going to send out cards this year, but I found some awesome cards today (QQ OWLS OMG) so if you'd like a card, send me your snail-mail address at my profile addy.
