Oh vw, I'm so sorry. Peace to you and to your friend's loved ones.

Happy Birthday, Trudy and Kara!
Yay, billboard, Teppy!
Dear Senior Student,
You already told me that you didn't finish the first summer reading book and never read a second one. No, in the middle of the quiz, you may NOT "see" my copy of
Tender is the Night.
If you were smart enough not to tell me you'd never read it, I might have been nice, but seriously. You don't get to come up with a BS answer using the back cover the teacher's copy of the book. I wasn't born yesterday.
Fondly rolling my eyes at you,
Your Teacher
oh, vw, I'm so sorry. I hope her passing was peaceful.
I hope her passing was peaceful.
Apparently her last words were to her husband: "Thank you."
vw, I'm so sorry about your friend.
vw, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sounds like it was peaceful.
vw, I'm so sorry. Blessings on her memory here, and her spirit in whatever good place it is headed to. And a hearty screw-you-sideways to cancer. She sounds like the kind of person we need more of here, for as long as we can keep them.
What the fuck is wrong with people? When my dad died, I changed my voicemail and email autoresponse to say that I'd had a family emergency and would be out of the office indefinitely. I have had at least three people (only two of them students) send an accusatory or abrupt second email or call saying that they have not heard from me. Seriously? If I had gotten an autoreply like that, I would have immediately sent "I hope everything's okay, I'll wait to hear from you". Of course, I'm getting some satisfaction from replying "my dad died, sorry that I couldn't deal with your petty bullshit"
