Hey Sean, if you are around can you pop on IM for a minute, I want to talk schedule with you regarding torturing rich people with Xmas music.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.
'Get It Done'
Spike's Bitches 37: You take the killing for granted.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Can you slip, Bow Down, Bow Down, Before the Power of Santa into the mix?

Hey. New board.
Teppy's dad is amazing.
Hil: With two-digit subtraction, at least, I subtract the ones first, then the tens, so 52 - 37 = 52 - 7 - 30 = 45 - 30 = 15 . But for adding, I do tens first, so 15 + 37 = 15 + 30 + 7 = 45 + 7 = 52. Reverse operations and order, baby!
For multiplication, it depends a lot on the numbers. For division of anything that isn't obvious, I think I actually do the long division algorithm in my head. It's the most sensible of the algorithms anyway, despite being the ones that gives kids the most trouble.
Personally, I also love teaching the FOIL method of two-digit multiplication: 52 * 37 = (50 + 2)(30 + 7) and FOIL it: 1500 + 350 + 60 + 14 = 1924. I do this right before attacking FOIL for polynomials.

Unfortunately I have nothing to do with the mix, I'm just the project manager for getting the system installed and running.

Believe me, there have already been discussions of wanting to be able to really torture the poor, rich souls along Rodeo drive. And acknowledgements that such torture is not achievable.
They will merely have to suffer by being forced to listen to Christmas music.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Christmas music
...And a beer.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I shouldn't spend thousands of dollars on desk toys. I don't *have* that kind of $$ to spend on cool objects to make my workplace desk look a little less work-y.
But my desk would look so much better with this: [link]
Preferably staring down this: [link]
Ideally accompanied by a bunch of these: [link]

Yes, I'm a geek. Or something.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Take off, eh! Hoser.
