Tara: What's so bad about them coming here? Aren't they good guys? I mean, Watchers, that's just like whole other Gileses, right? Buffy: Yes! They're scary and horrible!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

We have no hot water down here. Nor a microwave. And our refrigerator is currently in a box, disguised from building management while they sweep the entire skyscraper for rogue electronics.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Cool bear rescue.

Our last apartment manager quit before they hired a new one. I'm not sure what to do with my October rent check.

Oh yes, I forgot you work in a cave. Maybe you can rub some sticks together, or use some flint to strike sparks?
