Natter 66: Get Your Kicks.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, Burrell! Do you want to do dinner tomorrow? Maybe sushi on Santa Monica? Not as nice as the last place we went, but not as scandalous or pricey either.

The status is NOT quo.

Toddson, it's more the principle of the thing. The truth is that it is utterly unenforcable. I would never give up years of my work; it all builds on the year before. I will keep everything and walk away silently giving the business office the finger behind my back when it's time to go. I never plan to sell my work, so it shouldn't ever be an issue. I think it's just legalese that ultimately is sound and fury ammounting to nothing. Thank you and everyone else for the conversation yesterday's conversation, though. You gave me a lot to think about.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I agree, Pix. I always took my lesson plans with me; I think if you tried to sell the lesson plans, a really assholey school might try to get in on it, but most schools wouldn't even KNOW.

I have certainly never walked into a classroom, and found lesson plans from a previous teacher still on the computer. I know I walked away with all of mine, then deleted them.

I would certainly SHARE mine with anyone who asked, but just leave 'em there? Nope.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I agree with you completely on the principle - I was just thinking that if they were going to be obnoxious about it, you could keep the foundation of the work from before you did anything for them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Dinner would be great, ita. We should iron out the deets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, speaking of quizzes, my team had lunch today with coworker's bar trivia questions from last night. One of the questions only I knew was about the Hawaii 5-0 remake, and a coworker was like, "How do you know that???"

Edit: Also, I made a dirty joke that I think was fairly well-received. Another question was about Steiglitz and his nude photo of Georgia O'Keeffe. I said, "But did it look kind of like a flower?"

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

`Banks' allow members to pay with time, not cash:

In a time bank, members get credit for services they provide to other members, from cooking to housekeeping to car rides to home repair. For each hour of work, one time dollar is deposited into a member's account, good for services offered by other members.
