Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.  

[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.

askye, that's terrible. Is there a department head or someone you can go talk to about it?

Thrive to spite them

Probably, I'd have to figure out who it was though.

Just call the department office and ask. Or, look on their website.

The status is NOT quo.

askye, definitely track down the prof's supervisor. That's ridiculous.

Suck! How friendly are you with the neighbors?
Alas, landlady (back neighbor) is also having plumbing issues. We suspect a blockage in the main line to the property. There's a plumber coming this morning, in theory. I took a very quick shower and listened to the toliet bubble like it was going to boil over. I was sloshing around in three inches of water in the tub after a few minutes.

Okay, time to teach!

Trust my rage

Kristin, I really really hope the plumber comes and fixes the situation quickly!

Life in the Bay Area...

CJ to his dad: If the fog gets any thicker, will they cancel school?

Trust my rage

When I lived in Monterey, we lived on a hill and would often get fog that would blow over in little clouds and puffs before settling on us. It was so cool!

Man, I really loved living in California - sea lions and sea otters every morning, the awesome trees along the beach walk, amazing farmer's market right there.

Too bad it was so damn expensive!!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The DH is off at a track day with a lot of automotive journalists. He was in a car on the track yesterday with a guy who said "I see you have to work with Aaron." DH opined he considered Aaron a friend and it was "get to" rather than "have to." The guy then said "Yeah, but you have to get past the whole 50 years of oppression thing, you know?" The DH said he DIDN'T know and asked for more explanation. If the guy had any sense at this point, he would have stopped talking, but he didn't. Dude then said "You know how they are, with the whole 'My people were in the Holocaust' excuse for everything." The DH responded with "Shut the fuck up right now." They then proceeded to drive the entire course in silence.

Rampant anti-semitism--I was shocked by this. I don't why it is, but I expect writers of all people, to be more open-minded.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My favorite fog memory is from when I was working at Mt. Diablo State Park. There's a gift shop at the summit and I was stationed up there one day when the fog rolled in so thick I couldn't see 10 feet across the parking lot, just white everywhere. The rest of the world may as well have ceased to exist. Fantastic.

Not so much fun when it was time to drive home, but a ranger led me down to the gates and we certainly didn't have to worry about other traffic.

OMG! One of the corporate mucky mucks, who I have been trying to connect with, will be here the few days before Thanksgiving. He wants to meet with me. To talk about integrating me into his group!

Deep breath. OMG. PLEASE, please, please, please let this work into something good.
