Vortex, I suspect if you start to email the applications, they'll expect to be able to email the completed application back to you.

you're right. That's a bad idea.

Also, I have to explain why I can't scan an entire book and put it up on Blackboard to professors. Do I get some sort of combo prize?

funny. I didn't see you at the last staff meeting.

---

do me a favor and check in on the board when you get up. I know that it's not even 7:30 PST, but we'd like to know that you escaped unscathed. And you should talk to the security people at your building now in anticipation of tonight. or any other late night.

Yes, this please.

Vortex, that is uber annoying. (The students, obviously, not the comment that I just quoted!)

Timelies, all. I'm still feverish and stuffy, but I managed to terrify a group of 9th graders about their first in-class essay regardless. Yay?

javachik is fine, y'all. She'll check in later, but she's good.

Timelies! I am wearing a suit today. I am not pleased.

Owie! I just burned my finger, when I picked somehting off th back burner of my stove. The burner wasn't on but the stove was on 450F. I thought the other day (when the stove was heating to that) that the stove gave off a lot of heat but I hd no idea.

I'm prety sure if I had apan of water on that burner it would have started to bubble, and it could have melted plastic and maybe burned paper it was so hot in that area.

So now I have to call my landlord, just as soon as I clean the kitchen so it's reasonable for him to see it.

Sorry for the cliff-hanger, folks! I'm fine!

I usually park in the secured parking downstairs but I had completely forgotten last night that I'd had to park in the visitors' lot (because I got to work too late to snag one of the scant secured spaces) - or I would have totally moved it before it got so late. We do have security guards but I have no idea how to contact them! I shall remedy that today. Thanks again for caring....you're all very sweet.

I have to spend a depressing amount of time explaining to professors why I won't have a book scanned for their students.

You could always say "Shall I start with yours, it will save your students $_ _.__ each semester?". I recall one prof in undergrad that had his book assigned every class every semester, and damn if he didn't do updates to the thing every other year or so, so you HAD to buy it again (I didn't. It was my minor, not major. Plus, he annoyed me, so why should I fund his boat?)

ION, I love it when I am running almost late, and hurry into the meeting with one minute to spare, and find I'm the first to arrive. DUDES! I'm the SOUND GUY. We are notorious for NOT being morning people, and yet, I'm the first? Crazy I say. Hopefully it resulted in brownie points with director and boss.

I am on day 1.5 of a 3 day training session for a process I'm only going to need to be familiar with, not acutal using. Send help!

Also,

Dear My Left Leg,

The knee was just about feeling OK (not 100%, but close enough to feel almost normal again). Whyfor does the ankle now need to start acting like a cranky bitch? Also, who knew that prescription ibuprofen could give you medicine head? This is making the training that much harder to deal with; I'd rather just be off the stuff.

No Love,

Frank
