Also, ~ma to Erika and mom, financial stress sucks rancid donkey dick.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy Birthday, Erin! Spend the whole year being nice to yourself!
Yes, this!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, Erin! Sounds like it'll be a splendid day.
And egads, yes, tons of paycheck~ma to erika's mom. Having a steady reliable paycheck that you can't rely on is a special, extra-blowing class of stress.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Happy b-day, Erin!
Happy b-day, Bobby!
August is such a full b-day month (IRL, too).
ION, I am finally showing full-time now. People notice the belly! Still not much in the baby kicks dept. unfortunately. I'm 21.5 weeks, BTW.

The status is NOT quo.
Happy Birthday to Erin and to Bobby!
Aww, GC, you made me grin. So happy everything is going well.
As far as the new faculty thing goes, it's not as bad as it sounds, responsibilty-wise. I'm supporting those teachers but only observing them once per quarter. I don't have to write up formal evaluations since my job is primarily mentoring, not evaluating. Their department and division heads will do more of the evaluation bit. I'm so excited to have less grading and more mentoring!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, Erin and Bobby!!
Slept in this morning and I needed it badly. I feel so much better and I haven't even had coffee yet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Brithday Happies Erin and Bobby!
Congratulations on the new role, Kristin!
I too am of the "I am too far behind to comment" ilk. Sometimes I read quietly and other times I jump in.

“Not dead yet!”
Lord have mercy, I am seriously the walking dead today. Had to get up at 4:45 in order to get Mom to the bus and then, because of a stupid cock-up on the bus company's part (they didn't have her on the passenger manifest) they nearly left without her. They had stopped at a different place up the road with a 24/7 Mickey D's to get breakfast, rather than the Travel America they're scheduled for. Lucky for everyone involved, I saw the bus cruise by on their way to the highway while she was on the phone with the company asking where in the hell the goddamned bus was.
So they turned around and got her.
Haven't been able to get back to sleep. Maybe I'll be able to nap this afternoon.
But at least I'm not in prison.
