I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Thanks, msbelle. I'll look for it later!

Also, I have decided that I really, really, really need to stop saying things are "retarded".

My students seem to have gotten the message and stopped saying things are "gay," but I'm still working on that one. I support your struggle!

Have been at work for 45 minutes. Apparently it is the apocalypse when I am gone. Want to kill supervisor because she wants to know why I haven't made progress on documentation. Probably because I don't have spare time to DO the documentation, boss? POSSIBLY.

Also, need to cut a coworker who is asking me questions I don't know the answer to, and, when I tell her to call the help desk that supports this particular software, she tells me that "computer people won't know the answer." O RLY? I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT THEY WILL, MA'AM.

A coworker has just informed me that I am "the bomb."

I don't know how I feel about this.

not your mom's socks.

A coworker has just informed me that I am "the bomb."

has he/she become aware of your thoughts re: Dallas?

just kidding - I am fully convinced that you are mighty awesome & I've never met you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

A coworker has just informed me that I am "the bomb."

It's better than being "a bomb"?

It's probably due to the fact that I'm tearing through the huge backlog of work in my inbox like a crazed woman, slinging information at people who seem to be relieved that I'm back in the office.

My mother is trying to guilt-trip me into coming home this weekend for Mother's Day. I have way too much to get done by next Monday and don't want to go, and now I feel like a horrible daughter.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

This morning it looks like a tiny tornado went down our street. The dude across the street's car is way fucked. Also, it looks like the city stuck one of those "warning: this car will be towed stickers on in" which...WTF Dallas!?! Dude just got his car slammed into at 2 am. You can't give him some time to get it to a repair garage? It looks like the other two cars got hauled off the lawn. There's just bits of all these cars up and down the street.
