I got stupid. The money was too good.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

So I've got about 60 tests to grade. Harumph. Not my favorite thing. Especially because I know there are several kids who didn't bring or didn't have their notes, so they had no chance at all of passing. The question was, "What are the ABCs of technical writing?"

Oops, it's the ABCs of proposal writing.

Oh I would, but the kid really needs to take responsibility for his notes. I'm not sure I can excuse his getting an A from me just because he's funny -- but he is that funny. We had another kid in the class who never took notes so didn't know what SCAMPER stood for -- so he made up a bunch of things, including "Cry because your idea doesn't work." These kids are wicked smaht.

Hec, your double was on the flight to Charlotte. I don't see him on the flight to Providence.
We made our very short connection despite a late wheelchair. We only had a half hour, and I didn't think there was a chance.

No more grownup scissors for me.
Holding stack of credit card crap in one hand. Scissors in other. Cut too deep. I see it coming but cannot stop and now I have this nasty flap of skin that isn't going to feel like stayinf closed any time soon.
Oy.

Ouch, Trudy. Don't DO that!

I got Byron's results back. It's malignant, aggressive fibrosarcoma. No clean margins. Likely to recur. The only chance to eliminate it is radical surgery; I'm supposed to call the surgeon today to see what she recommends doing next.
I may not be online for awhile. I'm having a hard time processing this.
