It's going to be a "teaching moment"
It's too bad he's too stupid to learn, but I hope he's not so numb that he won't be scared, at least.
I wish I could yell at the person making me crazy right now, but it would get me fired.
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

even though I have done it to the best of my abilities.
Sadly, that may be true. If I had to operate on his brain, I'm sure I'd do it to the best of my abilities, and he should appreciate my work.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sure I'd do it to the best of my abilities, and he should appreciate my work.
But I tried so hard!
Edit: Apparently I've forgotten how to format on this board.

I had a librarian come in to do a presentation to one of my classes on research and then we chatted. She said, "You've got some group here" and glanced at a couple of my biggest problems.
Vindication! I mean, I still love them, and I won't let up on the pressure (TRYING to get them to do work!) but it's so nice to know it's not just me!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
It's going to be a "teaching moment" for our meeting tomorrow. I will rip him a new asshole.
Any chance we could get streaming video in your office by 2 PM tomorrow? I would pop popcorn and make drinks for everyone.

Dana is cheating on us with other boards, pass it on!
Go you, connie, on getting the heck out of there, within the rules, without giving into (implied) pressure. We all need time, and it's much better to take it when you need it than to explode.
I cannot believe your student assistant, Vortex. I wish you awesome vocabularies of coherent rage tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Can someone Nilly me the post for Stephanie's address? I'm having a brain fade.

Trust my rage
I just happen to be here!
It's Ellie Izaguirre, PO Box 34091, Ft. Buchanan, PR 00934
Ellie is looking a lot more chipper. Hopefully we will be out of there in 2-5 days. I'm working right now on getting a second opinion on pulling all her teeth from an endodontist in NM for next week.

It will be ice cold. And he will be forced to articulate his incompetence in front of his supervisor.

Vortex, I wish you luck. But ... you know he'll probably spend the next few years thinking of you as the person who didn't appreciate how HARD he tried. Until life smacks some sense into him. Most of us learn this lesson fairly early; some never do.
