someone kidnap me please. As long as I get on my plane to FL on tues, I'm good. I'll even buy the booze. Just get me outta work. Aaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh

Do my paper for me and it's a deal.

I'm way behind in natter where they're talking about kelpies so I'm posting the pic I found here. sheep walking

laga, iPhone couldn't open it.

Shir, what's the paper on? And more importantly, can it be in English? Otherwise, I might be of no use, thou the kidnapping part could be fun. I could bake for you!

iPhone couldn't open it.

ahh, too bad. It's just the puppy channel

Shir, what's the paper on?

We're analyzing post-WWII British academic writing: divide it to clear paragraphs with headlines, and including a list of sources the writer used. Since it's a class about materiel culture, every freaking hair clip and event he mentions gets into the report. Oh, and it's 35 pages long article. Small font. With a lot of "as x said", with x' last name only, and without any reference to the source he took it from. Or giving quotations without saying where it's from, coming after a line of 10 ys he could have referred to. That's right, no footnotes.

I'm a freshwoman: I get why we have to go through this. And look, I was a reporter and editor: I like editing, a lot.

But this? This is worse than work. I'd like to get knowledge, not information, please. I get paid to do this kind of shit. Hell, I probably get paid more than my teacher.

Thankfully, we got the option of giving the paper next week instead of tomorrow. Which is nice, because I have few questions for my teacher. Like, if I have to track down every damn x and y, and if he want the undivided list of categories (by order of appearance in the text) handed in by Chicago system or the other one.

I could bake for you!

Now you're talking.

And now I want an apple pie.

The Alchemist Pub and Brewery Bookmarked

Planning the workday around fine Ale seems to be in order on November 29th .

Think this will be one of the first stops for askye when she visits Vermont.

Ben and Jerry and the Alchemist in the same town they should hook up.

I must have clients I need to see in Waterbury on the 29th . Grins

If any of you do plan on being in the area let me know.

Best wishes to you all from Vermont and

( Hugs for my sweet lady down south )

SL, we'll definitely be there. Probably in the afternoon, when it first opens.

Thanks so much for the supportive thoughts over this explosion. And Laga, that is exactly what I've done. I hope they will take me up on the offer and I really do understand the kind of fear that leads to inappropriate responses like this but...

Here is what I didn't say: Okay, so the sense I'm getting is that you had a wildly inappropriate tantrum and, to distract from that, you are using me as a bludgeon. Saying that I have harmed you by going overtime on a session is ridiculous. I took you for more of an adult than that. Bummer for all of us.

Sigh.

I guess the worst part is that this particular person has been one of my very favorite clients ever. I really did assume more maturity and am mystified as to what is actually going on...'cause it sure ain't this. In truth, I think I DO know...and I'm seldom wrong when it comes to something like this...it just makes me sad when people sabotage themselves like that.

Ah well. The learning will occur, or not.

WindSparrow, I have a newfound respect for you. My throat is out to kill me. I don't know how you lived through this. Though, people are enjoying me with no voice. Ugh. So. Much. Pain.

I am with Omnis. Please kill kidnap me.

seriously? Again today. 10am mail server firedrill from soon-to-be-ex-craxy that has lasted until... checks watch... NOW.

AUGH. I need to change all of my numbers.

eta. ooops close that tag.
