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.
AND not only is this student an English Major, but she wants to be a TEACHER! (of kindergarten, but still!)
She feels that the system failed to teach her incompetence early enough, and wants to take steps to make sure kids learn it as soon as they're old enough to be out of daipers?
Heh. I mean, poor guy, but I'm not surprised everyone else is coming up daisies. I hope he gets a hug, and then a lot of brochures about how you, too can someday be a civilian contractor working closely with the military.
(If you, like, get an engineering degree or something.)
Not looking forward to the rest of the afternoon...
It's Annabel's Christmas pageant. Daycare closes at 3:00, pageant starts at 4:00. This means there's an hour where the staff is doing set-up and so on where it's just half-costumed kids and their parents milling chaotically around the church next to the center where the pageant will be held. It's the longest hour in the world, I swear, trying to keep your kid entertained and out of trouble until the thing actually starts.
The Voice of Bitter Experience says: If you've got the time off available to you, take it! Get out getoutGETOUT!
Oh, believe me. I would use every bit available. Sadly, we don't get sick days.
Oh, JZ, I would absolutely extend your official last day a week and kill a week of sick time, if your boss is on board.
Also, what Jesse said.
Scrappy, that's great news!
I am having a crap day on crap toast with crap on the side.
I wish you less crap.
Getting out of the school will help. The freshmen have their first exams ever in a week and a half, and they're freaking out. The tension in my classes is not fun. I'm going to sneak out of here after this last class and invest in some nappage when I get home.
I made dinosaur boogers.
