“Not dead yet!”

I ar dum. I spelled it phonetically!

I just figured it was a clever play on the original. Like you needed more than chutzpah-- you needed huzzbah.

Works for me, one way or the other.

Man, a friend of mine teaches at a small college in Michigan which is closed due to a virus.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Which college?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Am I missing something about the guy who won't go to harassment training? It's 2 hours out of your life every 2 years. I gotta do it, I also have to go to food safety class, a full day of training every 4 years where I learn about what temperature to cook fish at and never to store meat above vegetables even though I don't work with fish or vegetables. Oh dear, it's all so unfair.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sleeping Noah is killer diller adorable.

You're not missing anything, Laga. He's just being crotchety. I'm just amused by it because having gone through the training myself (all faculty have to) I found it not merely an utter waste of my time, but actually a form of sexual harassment in its own right. Still, not worth making a fuss over, he should just take to the dang training.

yeah, it's mean to make us sit through two hours of training that we turn around and teach to our staff in 15 minutes. Hell, I can teach it in 5 seconds...

If someone does something that makes you uncomfortable, tell them to stop.

If someone tells you to stop, stop.

For my summer teaching gig, we get the Blood Borne Pathogens session each year, but no sexual harassment training. I'll bet the video for the latter is better.

1. I thought I'd watch an episode of The Shield before going to bed, because I was like 8 episodes behind. That was 4 hours ago.

2. Dude. DUDE. This is off the rails. Every episode ends in something amazing and I cannot stop and go to sleep now. I cannot.

3. So if I send in an email to work now and just say "I haven't been able to sleep and I think I'll stay home tomorrow," that's not technically a lie, right?

In conclusion: I embrace my lack of self-control. And now back to the midnight-to-8-ayem marathon I seem to have gotten myself into.

Conclusion #2: I am dumb. But wow, what a crazy-awesome show.
