Well, it's more like walking off with school supplies.
Yeah, when you do that at work it's called stealing, and can get you fired. (Realistically, probably not over a roll of tape, but still.)
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Somebody who can't be assed to update any of the grades or assignments online (as all the other teachers do) and who has made it abundantly clear that he's merely showing up for the last several years of his tenure to cash out his retirement.
So two wrongs make a right? Good to know.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Goodness!
So two wrongs make a right? Good to know.
I didn't try to justify it. Merely mused over my own reaction.
I should confess straight up that I've taken pens and pads from work myself.

Now tagless for your comfort.
When DH worked at Taco Bell in college, they always stuck him doing inventory on weekends after he requested the day off. He got tired of them doing that so he would always come home with a stolen piece of property. A nice kitchen knife, a stainless steel cook pot or a bag of ground beef.
Pilfered, yes. But my Alignment skews Neutral.

Our wings are not tired.
Anyway, glad he's planning on buying his next roll (or getting some for his birthday!). It's cool that he learned to make the wallets by himself and is doing well. It's just not okay to take things that aren't yours, sucky teacher or not.

So, I joked to two other people prior to the demo today that we should start a rumor that we're getting let out early.
Lo and behold, a few hours later, word comes down from on high we can leave at three.
If Friday is Tino's day, then IN YOUR FACE, Tino!!!

Because books.
So, to make myself feel better I just dropped $300 on this.
So cool! I can't imagine what happen if we had a sword. Sara loves to swing things when she's in superhero mode.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I can't imagine what happen if we had a sword.
World peace. I swear. I feel better already. And I already have a sword at home.
They suckered me in (I placed order #21, and that's only because Boss had me in his office), because I was on their alert mailing list for this, and, honestly, I thought if I could resist buying a LotR replica¹ I was safe from purchasing any replicas, but no. And I'm sure I'll be buying that one when it comes out too. Fuckers. So pretty.
¹: Full disclosure--I did buy miniatures of Legolas's fighting knives. But that doesn't count.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I am so done with this week. Sadly, it is still a couple of hours from being done with me.
