I just learned that my friend's 2-year old boy also fell on the ice today! He didn't yell "AIEEEFUCK" though. He said "UH OH!"
Neither of us cried. Although I REALLY wanted to.
See how I'm not punching him? I think I've grown.

Okay, I'm gonna go send my students their assignments.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
There are sheets of ice falling off of our house. The whole process is very loud, especially when they hit the ground. It's making me jumpy.
I'm getting a lot of work done today, but the ONE thing I absolutely needed to send out, I can't. I have no FedEx slips, and the account number is sitting on my desk in the office. Feh. I need that expense reimbursment check so I can pay off the corporate AMEX.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Can you call 800-go-fedex and ask them for it? I have found them to be surprisingly quick and helpful.
Then you can log onto fedex.com and ship it from there -- it only takes a few minutes to set up the account once you have the account number and it will print you a label.
I literally haven't touched one of those stupid slips in years.

Thanks ladies! As soon as I posted that, I came up with the most brilliant solution ever: I can pick up the phone and call someone in the office who will give it to me! Which they did.
Me = occasionally slow on the uptake.

It wasn't so brilliant that it needed to be said twice.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
If you were doing a powerpoint presentation, and the title of one of the suggested slides was "Who the [Law] Applies to" would you change it? Is "To Whom the Law Applies" more grammatical or just persnickety?

You know, I've been in a really good mood today. Not so good, though, that I'm really looking forward to a 2.5-hour new-teacher meeting followed by an hour-long 4-H meeting. Gronk.

I might just do "The Law Applies To -- "
