Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Management apparently doesn't know who I am and have my name wrong, so I'm even more entertained.
Uh-oh. Do they let you play the radio as long as it's kept at a reasonable volume?
I got scolded by security this morning for parking in Visitor parking. Yes, fine, perfectly valid, but you people have more money than Jesus and more parking spots than anyone could ever need. Are you really going to make me park on the complete other side of the garage in my last week here? (Answer: Yes, they are.)
I'm pretty sure they didn't between when he showed up in episodes 6 & 7 and then disappeared for over 25 episodes.
That's a bit of a relief. Thanks again.

I have a red Swingline stapler that I am now tempted to bring to work while muttering about fire. Fire. FIRE.
Mmmkay...?
Monday. Yeeeeuch. I should not be a teacher on Mondays.
Sing it, sister.
I'm not a teacher, but since a co-worker has gone on maternity leave, I've been getting up at 6:45 to do the morning load and e-mail that has to get done before 7:30. I've got a work laptop now, so at least I can do it from home and go back to bed after finishing, but I still have to come in before 10:00 (preferably by 9:00). Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but the cat has taken to meowing at me from the bedroom doorway at 5:00 am and not shutting up. It's very annoying, and makes it difficult to fall back asleep for those last two hours of sleep.
They asked me this morning why they needed to know about manufacturing methods. The answer, to be honest, is "it's in the book -- ask the publisher!" but I had to come up with something. Really, I just wanted to say, "shut up and take notes, you... sweet student, you."
Or possibly "leave Mummy alone, she has a hangover." Despite that not being true. It FEELS true.
Tell them that understanding manufacturing methods is the best way to understand why the workers revolted in the 19th century/early 20th century, and also that knowing what the hell an assembly line is will explain why labor unions were so important and why they still influence elections (somewhat).
