Hey, my engineering students actually read the article! Well, most of them. And when I tried to get them to do the worksheet, we got sidetracked by discussions of zombies and cloning. So we have to finish up tomorrow.
It's very hard to stay on-topic when you have a roomful of, like, young MMs and Seans and NoiseDesigns.

RUN! RUN WHILE YOU CAN!!! GET OUT!! GEEEEEEETT OOOOUUUUUUUTTT!!!
No, they're adorable! It's the high point of my day! I just don't give them sharp objects, and I'm very clear about my rules:
1. Don't get me sued
2. Don't get me fired
ETA: And, honestly, I don't think they have as much energy as you did. Possibly because they don't get to go off-campus and suck down six cups of coffee in the middle of the schoolday!
Somehow, I can't get the sound to work when I play dvds on the ps3. Damn. I'm going to have to call the Geeks after only an hour.
OMG, co-worker, stop frickin' screaming into your phone! So annoying!

"However much coffee you drink, I want you to cut it in half."
"I don't drink coffee."
I think at least Aimee will know the source...
That and the crazy.
I have my suspicions.
Anyway, I'm off home. Sharing space with my father for a week after three months without may be... interesting. Bye!
There is a story in fandom about a number of veteran writers sitting around a bar at a con, including, in the story I heard, Robert Silverberg and Dick Lupoff. One of the writers was talking about a young writer who was pretty full of himself. To describe the young writer, he said, "He's sort of like a young Harlan Ellison."
Another writer (perhaps Silverberg) looks up from his drink as says, "Let's kill him now."
I went to see Harlan Ellison, Neil Gaiman, and... somebody else in Cambridge. Boy, I really enjoyed two thirds of that night. Oh wait, I'm sorry, there's no way Ellison stuck to his allotted time. Maybe I enjoyed one third of it.
