I think the one glove is an homage to Michael Jackson.

If you are wishing continued employment here, we will need to rework your schedule so it is not so difficult for you to come to work and attendance will be expected on scheduled days.

This is probably too late, but I'm not sure you should imply that its being "difficult" is an acceptable reason to miss work. Maybe just "If you do wish to continue to work here, we will put together a schedule for the rest of the semester that you will be expected to meet."

It's such a shame that you can't write: "We haven't seen or heard from you for three weeks. That means you are either 1) dead or 2) fired."

Open-minded kinkiness abounds.

I suspect that open-mindedness may abound, but not so much the execution.

Joss Whedon fans: They hope to have dates on Friday nights, but the dates keep getting rescheduled or canceled.

Ginger- I did actually change it to "If you are wishing continued employment, we will need to make a schedule that you are able to consistently work without a large number of unexpected absences." Which in retrospect is an incredibly awkward sentence.

I hate doing this in email, and I also hate that my boss wants to work with her. I mean, I should be really glad that the same attitude saved me from being fired this fall, but I know if I let myself be, I am way more harsh than my boss. She basically just wanted me to literally ask "What is your status?" and let the student decide. I actually thought "what is your status?" would be confusing.

What is the best reason to date a Whedon fan?

Open-minded kinkiness abounds.

My boyfriend would enthusiastically agree, though as pointed out above, my sample size of one does not equal "abounding."

Joss Whedon fans: They hope to have dates on Friday nights, but the dates keep getting rescheduled or canceled.

Which is why we wait for th DVDs.

ARGH. Why do I have to be represented by THIS CRAXXY MAN in Congress? [link]

flea, I suspect that might just be some sort of coded message there.

He is crazy in so many ways; he's got down-the-line extreme right-wing views (Obama is a socialist and may not be a citizen, jack-booted thugs and so forth), but I think my favorite is he thinks it should be legal to import polar bear trophies. It's almost amusing that such a man represents probably the biggest collection of lefty hippies in the state of Georgia (Ginger may claim Decatur, hence my disclaimer). (Our district was designed by a Republican committee to elect a Republican - it includes a bug chunk of rural areas, but even then he barely squeaked into office on a fluke.)

he barely squeaked into office on a fluke.

I'm gonna picture him riding a liver fluke to the Capitol Building now.

Oh, ALSO? He proposed a bill that would prohibit military personnel from buying Playboy (or any similar publication). Now, I've never been in the Army, but I doubt that would be real popular. Way to support the troops, Paul!
