Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness  

[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

As someone who had to wade through, cull through, and pack ten years of her own and her husband's lives, I will say that your apartment will get much more crowded before it gets emptier. I'm not sure why, it just does. I would suggest being very very strict with yourself and start putting things under the FREE section of Craigslist and if you can find a freecycle group in the LB area - list stuff and have it carted away.

My basioc rule of thumb was that if noone had touched it in 6 months, it didn't get moved to Michigan.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

the great thing about my neighborhood, there are a TON of dumpster divers. You put something in the alley, and it's snagged within a day or so. No need to wait on folks to come and not take something away.

I've finally gotten all of the info for the online course. Yeah, this is way too much work for way too little money. I don't think I'll be doing it again. What I didn't understand initially was that the course is over August 24th, but I am not. Unless I can finish all 15 LONG narrative final assessments by then, I will be writing them as I start teaching again. Grr. Argh. I start new faculty training on August 20th, which means I'll need to be back at school in meetings and getting my classroom ready for at least a few days before. Holy work overlap, Batman.

Okay. That absolutely sucks. I wonder if you can start writing the long narratives within the next 3 or so weeks and then just tweak as necessary.

I had a meeting for summer school last night. I forgot that there are very few people as invovled in their kids education as a Korean mother. And an entire room full of them? Way overwhelming.

Hi folks. Drive-by waving.

We has a house!

Now the work starts.

The status is NOT quo.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking I'm going to have to do. You wouldn't believe the length of the friggin' weekly feedback emails I have to send to each family. I can't even believe I have to send a long narrative at the end, too. I'll figure it out; I'm just annoyed.

Thanks to road closures, my commute has gone from 65 to 137 miles, today. This damn rain better stop soon or I'm going to have to quit this job just from the cost of gas.

I'm so lazy that I'd be tempted to just compile the weekly emails and slightly reword.

Yay on the house, Raq.
