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!

Second biggest. Your collection of lefty hippies is diluted by conservative natives. Even Decatur natives have the worldview of lefty hippies. (Decatur, older than Atlanta by some years, declined the offer to become the railroad hub that Atlanta was eventually created to be. It was thought the railroad would bring too many people and filthy commerce.)

This typo was bound to happen sooner or later: [link]
