Missed a whole day again.
On skim:
Emeline's first day of school pictures melted me. And Aims is looking mighty good too.
I couldn't skim over the stories of Deena's growing babies. Deena continues to impress me with her abilities as super mom. And I think my plate is full!
Belated Happy Birthday to Emmett!
Yay for getting your hours back, Teppy. Yes, continue to look for more worthy employment.
~ma for cutiehead nephew
And all my job~ma to Tom today.
We both snore. Loves me some earplugs.
Oh, I meant to comment on that. Yay for Tep hours, and I hope something better comes along quickly. I'm still boggled by the asshattery.
I do not feel like super mom today. Laura's my model for super mom.
Tons of job-ma for Tom from this direction. If I was at my old desk I'd even make magical hand-waving gestures towards the Longfellow bridge.
My sister tells me that a student of hers who missed a test on Monday emailed her on Tuesday that it was because he was involved in a fight over the weekend and was injured. He attached a jpeg labeled "wound" that she refused to open. Dear Students: Just because you can share, doesn't mean you should.
well, in this era of fraud and academic misconduct, perhaps he felt the need to provide proof.
Job~ma for Tom.
Continued ~ma for J.
Purrs to all from Harvey.
I'm on a conference call and someone has put the call on hold and their musak is playing softly in the background. As far as "on hold music" goes, it isn't horrible, but yet it is VERY distracting.
Wishing Tom ooodles of job-ma from Thailand!
Lots of job~ma for Tom! And clam~ma for Nora.
I need a haircut, but I am uninspired.
perhaps he felt the need to provide proof.
His needs? What about my poor sister's eyeballs? (Hee!) It leads to some conversation between my sister and I along the lines of . . . "okay, now that a student has done this, what will they think of next?"
I have one professor friend who has on her syllabus "The 'my father got shot in a robbery' excuse" She actually had a student say that he needed an extension because he father was shot and killed in a robbery in California. My friend being my friend, she's calling the dean, trying to arrange for counseling, calling the mother . . . who doesn't know what the hell she's talking about. Dad was right there, kid totally made it up.
