When one gets an e-vite to a "Hey, we got married and we're moving to NY" party two days before the event, is one expected to show up with a gift?
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Second Coming of Shark Jesus. Yep, another one.

There was a First Coming?
Don't screw with me so early in the morning, man. It could get ugly, fast.

Yep. There've been two immaculately conceived shark babies in the last year or so....

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Super MoM!!!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday msbelle!

not your mom's socks.
Allyson - I know I'm late on weighing in, but you're not being snotty if you send your book, or an excerpt. If you can, you might want to see if you could speak with admissions to know what's the right way to handle it ... or even drop the head of the department section that is offering online communities courses an email and open a conversation that way - if he/she answers, you've made a connection and have insider information. if not, not a big deal.
fwiw, an MFA is also considered a terminal degree. I'm not sure, but don't journalism schools take professional experience into account when they're looking at teaching staff?
happy birthday msbelle!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Today's pluses: Sitting in a corner office. Great view.
Today's minuses: My 9AM meeting, which has moved times several times at this point, is theoretically still on for 9, except my boss guy is trying to get it pushed later in the day. I don't actually care, though 9AM would be more convenient, but I'd like to *know*. Plus, I got up early to make it here on time.
Went to the soda machine to buy something with caffeine. Someone grabbed me and pointed me to a fridge full of soda. Then I got yelled at by the admin for taking the soda designated for a specific purpose, and the guy who'd pointed me at the fridge was of course long gone.
