I've read that the Kindle 2 screens are rather prone to scratching - anyone experienced this?

an SUV in the right lane swung wide to make a right turn and cut right in front of him in the center lane.

Damn. Much ~ma for him.

I've already gotten my hair cut (the bob gets shorter each time, Hec -- now it's lobe-length!)

I remember you crying the first time you went to bob length, but now you know how good it looks on you.

I read a lot of urban fantasy on it

Like Charles de Lint? I'm reading Dreams Underfoot now and finding it underwhelming.

So, I had the "Jesus is right here and the rapture is about to happen" meeting with the student assistant, I told him about the "school address" issue and he actually had the NERVE to say "well, I thought that you would let the school know that the student had been accepted"

!!!!!

There is not going to be any saving this one. Fire him now.

Hi, Gris, good to see you. Congrats on the successful apartment hunting.

Hey Epic. It's good to see you, too. Sorry to hear about your coworker - definitely sending ~ma for him.

Harvey is once again snuggled up with me inside my shawl, purring up a storm. I dunno what he's going to do when it's too warm for this. Guess I'll have to find that baby-wearing website and make a sling for him.

OMG, Vortex. He reminds me of a line from Friends. Chandler looks at Joey and says, "Why don't you fall down more?"

Is there anyway you can fire him?

Today at school has been fairly decent. Testing all morning wherein I had to do absolutely nothing. Now I have lunch and my plan period back to back (which isn't normal, but due to odd testing schedule happens today). Then I teach 1 class. My last class of the day is my special students and they catch the bus earlier than the others, so I'll be going down to their room to help them pack up for the day. That's it.

Considering the last month has well and truly blown, a slow day is a godsend.

I spent most of the morning grading papers and job hunting.

Well, I talked to his work study supervisor, who asked me to give him another chance. I told him that he has one week to complete the project. If he can't do it in the hours he's scheduled, then he needs to make time somewhere else.

Hey WS, good to be seen. Your post about Harvey makes me regret how allergic I am to my cats now. Not so allergic I'd get rid of them - I had the cats before I had the allergies - but I do have to keep them at arm's length (or leg's - Domino has learned to love having his belly rubbed by my foot). But I miss being able to cuddle.

Yay for a chill day, ChiKat. I was thinking of you recently - I just found out I'm going to a Civil War reenactment with friends this weekend, and though I have some period garb, I don't have that period. For two seconds I thought, "I could borrow something from ChiKat!", then the reality of half a continent between our locales and the impracticality of dropping hoopskirts in the mail asserted themselves. At least half the group isn't going in garb, I'll just be aligning myself with them for this trip. Have you done anything antebellum-y lately?

Vortex, good luck and try not to kill him. (There's probably something in the company ethics policy about murder, no matter how justified.)
