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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Wow- I am really out of it today. I went home sick yesterday, slept from noon yesterday until 6 this morning and I am at work. And I think I am floating outside of my body. Also, I ripped my down coat on the bus AND I burned/melted a suit jacket morning ironing it. I think maybe I need to go back home and go back to bed.

Laura Amy Schlitz, who won the Newberry medal for "Good Masters, Sweet Ladies" yesterday is about to be on the Today Show. I'm so excited. She is one of the nicest, wisest, most thoughtful, and least like anyone else people I know. Her illustrator is also kick-ass.

Ooh, I hate that. Because there's no way to explain without sounding kind of weird and third-gradey -- "But he told me to!" -- but it's totally not your fault!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I hate that shit.

That sounds about right.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Thanks everyone. I slept almost none last night due to coughing craziness and then a very upset mac had an accident at 3am.
This morning though, there was in fact, a Transformer gift bag and a SUPERMOM card. Gifts also, but he was mostly proud of the card and bag. he "chose them himself".
