Glad to hear it, omnis!
Oh, Pacey! You blind idiot. Can't you see she doesn't love you?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "Man, I so wish I could channel Vortex right now..."
I do that too.
Glad to hear about grumpy dad, omnis.

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?
A good vortex beginning is "you know what, motherfucker . . ."
I love this so much and now have visions of a work conversation.
Student: But Ms. M, I'm not late.
Me: Yes, you are. Class started 30 seconds ago. That's tardy.
Student: No, it's not.
Me: You know what, motherfucker, come to detention and we'll talk about it then.
Hmmmmm....think that might get me fired??

Not if you say, "You know what, polar bear, come to detention and we'll talk about it then."

Totally going to do that.
Actually, my kids this semester are pretty great. They're fun and creative and full of energy. Which means they do great in my class but sometimes have Issues in their core classes.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hah! I am so going to have to start doing that. I mean, polar bear will still get you some funny looks but not quite the same way.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that definitely happens with us, ChiKat. We're all, "So&So is great! So attentive and he works so hard!" And the other teachers are all "..."
I mean, part of what we do is recognize kids that are smart but slipping through the system. But lots more of it is just SO syndrome, which is to say, rocking his music classes, not interested in anything else. He gives a good lecture about this.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Honestly, I can't tell you how many times I've thought, "Man, I so wish I could channel Vortex right now..."
Channel away! A good vortex beginning is "you know what, motherfucker . . ." Or polar bear. Whichever.
Dude, I channel various Buffistas for different situations. I'm not always good at it, but I have excellent role models in you all for various things.
Excellent news, o-a.

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
I found it much easier to be a boss than a parent. Probably for the, "dude, I can fire you" fallback with an employee. You can't really fire your kids. Saying "no" was easy, but really meaning it under the gun wasn't. It took me a long time to be able to put the foot down.
omnis, that's very good news. Continuous improvement~ma for your dad.

Me too, especially since the F2F.
