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

Jesus. I just had someone ask me if I'll make a previously given deadline despite her slipping with the pre-requisite by two weeks. But I guess if you're a project manager who has no issue with admitting you have neither a project plan nor a list of milestones with approximate dates, why would you get the idea of a critical path?

I'm too young, old, and underpaid for this. This is not the week.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Oh man. ita, that totally sucks. I admire your work ethic, but I still think it's totally unfair.

Noah's arching "I'm very angry" thing is an irritation. It's a super bad habit that the OT is hoping we'll get him to break. One of things that's interesting after yesterday where he was overstimmed, today, he's doing a ton of arching. Which means that I spend time telling him, "No arching" and getting him back drawn in.

Jesse, what was the gag gift?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A light switch. Her initials are LS, which was the shtick for the gifts. I totally lucked out, and got jewelled (candle) holders, along with incredible wrapping paper of other JH things -- a jumbo ham, J. Edgar Hoover, Jerri Hall, a jewelled (sword) hilt, a jew's harp (mouth harp), and one thing I couldn't identify. Hilarious!

I just got an email telling me to consider today worked, so that's something. Now I just have to make it into the office every other day this week. I wonder if I can get my sister to take me to the ER the very night she comes in.

That's not very nice.

God, why have I become so addicted to sliced preserved pears? I crave them so much I'm eating a medley that has pineapple and peaches in it too just to get to them. The other fruits are not nice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita, can I get Colin's email so I can beg him for a signed script for my crew fundraiser?

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I am in grading hell.
Pull up a seat and I'll join you. Does it ever end?

How is it possible that some of their papers got worse from the first to second draft? I could weep.
I say the same thing all the time. It makes my head hurt.

By Friday the students are going to be insane!
