Oh, Daisy. How horrible. {{{{{{{{{{DJ}}}}}}}}}

Ugh. {{{{Daisy}}}}} As if "car surfing" needed a strike against in in my mind.

You must be super quiet and take up very little space.

True. That's why I haven't been pitching in on the rent.

At least 95% keep saying that teachers make more money than private sector

Yeah. Right. I'm working in a registered non-profit, at the sub-managerial ranks, and I'm making way more than I would as a K-12 teacher.

Principals might break into the six-figure salary ranks, but they're also managing dozens—sometimes hundreds—of employees, a role which usually brings a nice chunk of change in the private sector. College professors can make decent money, but they're also usually teachers and income generators. Hard science profs especially bring a ton of funding to their institutions. If a division of a private industry institution landed a $17.5 million grant, I imagine the leader of that division would do fairly well. So if Professor Thomas Meyer pulls in $143,000 I think UNC and NC's tax payers are getting pretty good value for their money.

ETA: I'm so sorry, Daisy.

Oh god, Daisy, I'm so sorry. {{{{Daisy}}}}

That's terrible, Daisy. I'm sorry. {{{{{Daisy}}}}}

Okay, I have bitten my nails down to sad little stumps and I want them to look presentable when we get videotaped on Monday for our Hammer Heads interview. I like them short--just to my fingertips--and I just basically want them to look like normal nails, nothing fancy. I had acrylics once before and they were okay but the tech really wanted to make them longer than I wanted. I have no idea what the difference between silk wrap or gel or acrylic is. What should I ask for when I make my reservation?

I used to more often, but I've been behind with Jon and Stephen lately.I can see both sides of that, not surprisingly. Because it's all SO upsetting, and Democrats/leftists spent so much time being the reasonable rational ones that got our butts kicked(and Keith remembers the eighties better than I do, naturally) and that, combined with KO's fairly operatic temperament(despite the preppie exterior) creates the drama. But it's not just that, because that's not really who I am, yet for ten dollars, I'd grab a Obama "defector" by the collar and yell "Don't you know how stupid you were being?" myself. Although Jon would be right to give me a hard time if I did that, but I really don't get the calculus for the non-tb minded Brown voter...you want more, so vote for the guy who promises you'll get less if he gets what he wants. What?!

Oh, God, {{{Daisy}}}
