I do this too, but I have been informed (by my mother) that this is the height of rudeness. I am not sure she speaks for all america!

I don't get this, unless it's the angled/one way thing (which I've noticed is a lot more common here on the West Coast).

If I got up early enough to make breakfast, I'm sure I could probably come up with a tasty, healthy way to prepare oatmeal. The odds of that happening are relatively slim.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, breakfast for me is usually a Luna Bar. Unfortunately, I'm out of them, so I was forced to stop at Chik-Fil-A.

If I got up early enough to make breakfast, I'm sure I could probably come up with a tasty, healthy way to prepare oatmeal. The odds of that happening are relatively slim.

Fortunately, nobody at work cares if we eat breakfast at our desks, and oatmeal is super-easy to make in the microwave. I don't mean the instant kind in the packets; regular oatmeal from a canister can be made in the microwave. I've slowly converted at least half my office to oatmeal for breakfast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Half the girls in my office eat instant oatmeal for breakfast -- you don't even need the microwave.

Yup. Just fill up the cup with hot water from the coffee machine and let it sit for a few minutes and you're good to go.

Breakfast I eat at home before work doesn't keep me from getting hungry at 10 am anyway.

In news of me, they're drilling holes in my precious walls. But soon I will have the teevee, so it's a good thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I got up early so I could go get steak and eggs before breakfast. Nummy. But I'm hungry again.

Once it gets cooler I'll probably switch back to making oatmeal at home.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Okay, even if I had ever taught in a place that had someone who did this for me, I can't imagine ever asking them to do my own d*mn work!

I work at a school of nursing, and for accreditation purposes our syllabi have to conform to exact standards, which are published in the faculty handbook. I have one teacher who I can't even get to tell me how much she is counting each assignment (something that must be in the syllabus). Every time I ask her, she keeps sending me copies of the assignments! All I want to know is how much weight she is giving each one... is that too much to ask.

Ah well, off to blackboard!

Question for Research Studs:

I'm going to have endnotes in my book. What's the preferred citation style? This is not an academic text, but I should be consistent.
