Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Bravo, JZ!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

JZ for the win.

I have a long ongoing work saga that seems to be ending in a fail.

there is a copier/printer that is supposed to double side print. The ONLY printer than can do so for us. Using the setting for double side printing on the computer, however, does not get you double sided copies.

I have reported it. Been told it is fixed. Tried again to no success. Reported it again. Been ignored. Asked on status. Was just told that the help line was going to be provided to ME since apparently the person whose job it is CAN'T MANAGE IT!!!

Go JZ! Also, your reasoning about your staying power cracks me up.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

sigh ... there was a major power failure this morning and, while my office building's generator had one elevator running and we had the "emergency" lights, we had no phone or computer service. So - bad worker bee that I am - I was hoping that the power would stay off so I could get an early start on my weekend. No, the lights came on and everything's working ... except the people who gave up on trying to get in. BUT! we do have a/c, so I can survive!

What are you doing this weekend, SUCKERS?!@?!

Pretty much nothing, and I like it. Hopefully seeing a few movies I haven't been able to get to (Iron Man, The Fall, maybe Indy 4) and house cleaning.

I should have added "FUCKOS!" in honor of Rio (who I also miss).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm waiting to see if I need to go to work tomorrow.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Go JZ! Also, your reasoning about your staying power cracks me up.

Your turn will come. In the next two or so years, you'll find yourself looking at, probably not the worst of your students, but the average misbehavers, and privately rolling your eyes and thinking, "Last night I had someone scream so long and so hard he threw up all over my lap because I didn't want him to go to bed with his shoes on. Your little snit is very...little."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Dude. I have a toddler and I'm step-parenting a pre-adolescent. I am used to not only saying the same thing in cheerful robotic tones for hours on end, I'm used to doing so while being wept and snotted on, audibly sneered at, and having tiny heels drummed into my kidneys. You're no toddler and definitely no preadolescent boy. Believe me, you will get tired of hearing the same thing over and over LONG before I get tired of saying it. Don't even try to outlast me.

Haha - suck it, DP! Mom FTW!
