Susan, you could try TylenolPM. It's essentially Benadryl with Tylenol, and the caplets are easier to cut in half if you want to take less.

ION, this is day six of the death!flu. I'm really, really tired of being sick. Getting my work laptop out of the cabinet and setting it up made me tired and dizzy. NOT COOL.

I may have to go make some tea. That might be just what the Bitches ordered.

Tea is always in order.

Dinner is cooking on the stove. I'm still not convinced I want to eat, but at least TCG won't starve.

Ok. Is this too mean? My radar is down right now...

Dear Incompetent Groupmate,

I got your five e-mails with articles attached that you would like me to incorporate into the final PowerPoint presentation. But, I need you to break down what you would like on each slide. We can't fit the whole article onto a PowerPoint presentation slide.

For example, you'll probably want to break it down like this:

*Topic

*Point 1 of the article

*Point 2 of the article

*Article conclusion

You could also include a short quote or two, if you'd like. Also, please let me know which videos go with which article, so I can match them up.

No Thanks, your very frustrated groupmate

Perhaps you could mention the rule of thumb I go by: "Never put more on a PowerPoint slide than you could put on a t-shirt."

It looks fine to me, vw.

Oh! That's a good one. So, it's not mean? I'm having to work so hard right now to not be mean.

For instance, I need to e-mail the financial aid guy back. His last two sentences are, "Please be aware of what you have borrowed in the past which includes both your private loans and federal loans as well. This will all need to be paid back once you graduate."

I just can't seem to start the e-mail with anything other than, "No shit, Sherlock!"

What an asshat.

What an asshat.

Well, that or college students really are a whole lot stupider than I thought. And, today, evidence is pointing towards that conclusion. So, who knows.

I just can't seem to take it seriously, though. Dude, I was in your cubicle for almost an hour today. I think I made it pretty clear that I understand this will all need to be paid back.

His last two sentences are, "Please be aware of what you have borrowed in the past which includes both your private loans and federal loans as well. This will all need to be paid back once you graduate."

He might be legally required to say that. There are a hell of a lot of rules about disclosure wrt fin aid that seem kind of dumb.

There are very few white wines I like, and I have recently discovered that I don't like white grape juice, either. Yet seedless Thompson grapes are delicious, even w/o skins.

The best part of the hottest days of summer is freezing seedless grapes and sucking on them like hard candy. Yum!
