Oh, Suzi, that's awful. So much ~ma.
Also job~ma for Tom, and Nora, I agree with Sparky. Go with.
Echoing all of these thoughts.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Oh, my. My nephew J started nursery school yesterday and already hit another student. When the teacher tried to explain to him that we don't hit and that he should clasp his hands in the shape of a heart to refrain from hitting. His response was, ''No, I hit.'' Good luck to her. He is an incredibly stubborn child.
IONephewN, nephew D made the tennis team! He worked very hard all summer to get fit enough to qualify.

His response was, ''No, I hit.''
Well, points for self-knowledge and honesty, I guess . . .
edit: And he knows that hitting is much more satisfying than not hitting. Good luck to teacher.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
that reminds me of the time my nephew said (of his brother) "I'm going to hit him, I'm going to take a time-out and then I'm going to hit him again."

I think part of the problem with J is that he learned at a young age that he could push around D (9 years older and much bigger than J) and D won't fight back. So he has no fear. I think when he starts to spend time around other kids and learns they'll fight back, he'll back off.

Ha, Laga! J just walks himself over to time out when he does something wrong because he knows he has done something wrong and that he is going to get in trouble.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Yeah - that's a big sign that time-out is NOT working.

I should always be photographed next to you. It's good for my image.

not your mom's socks.
ok. what does "so you were off on Monday, does that mean you work Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday to make up for it?" sound like to you?
I worked yesterday to get ECN geared up for fall - on request - not to make up for a national holiday.
ETA - for those playing along at home... not quite sitting so well over here with the new part-timeiness.

that you're working extra hours each of the three days to make up the hours you lost on Monday but that the person who wrote the sentence doesn't have a great grasp of grammar.
