As a child I'd occasionally eat the creamy center of an Oreo and hide the cookie parts behind the sofa.

One time my sisers scraped all the filling out of an entire package and ate it with spoons. I was quite happy to eat the cookies.

Thunder outside. Do not want.

Oh, I found out that my advisor didn't actually just not show up for our meeting on Friday. He'd called and left a message on the department voice mail, asking the secretary to tell me that he wouldn't be able to make it, but she didn't listen to the voice mail until this morning.

Why don't I believe that?

eta: You can't be the only person whose education this incompetent bastard is completely fucking with. Is there any way you can find out who else he's "advising" and band together to get him dismissed?

Why don't I believe that?

Well, it was the secretary who told me. And this has happened before -- messages left on the department voice mail sometimes aren't delivered for up to a week.

Alright so the voicemail's incompetent too. It's just ridiculous. What percentage of appointments has he actually kept?.. I just remembered you're having a bad day. Feel free to ignore me if talking about this stuff doesn't help.

He's only advising one other person, who is also graduating this year. We've talked about it, but all of the options for doing something seem counterproductive.

How come, no matter how many times I tell my Tivo that I don't get these channels, it keeps adding a Japanese channel and a Christian channel to my lineup? (At least, I think it's a Christian channel. It seems to always be showing TV movies about girls who decide not to have an abortion.)

And this has happened before -- messages left on the department voice mail sometimes aren't delivered for up to a week.

You'd think he'd know that by now.

Mountain Dew is my downfall. I'll drink a ginger ale or a Sprite, but they're no substitute. Diet Coke is only for mixing with alcohol. Other caffeinated or carbonated drinks don't suffice as substitute, either. At least it doesn't have phosphoric acid, and it does have orange juice in it, so that's good, right? I don't understand what's so addictive about it - "crack" is not on the ingredients list.

yay! I think the insurance problem was more of a timing issue. It looks like the pharmacy put up my prescriptions before they got my new insurance info to them

I can haz microwave burrito. And oreos for dessert. Hey did you all know it's just deserts, as in what you deserve? I always thought it was desserts as in the thing you get last.
