move out and draw fire

I've been trying to take [Head of School's] graduation speech to heart about not letting societal beliefs about assertive women stop me from speaking up.

HAH!

Well done.

The past two months I've been a complete zombie, with added sneezing.

I think I'm moving to Antarctica. I'll make sure we have a guest hut.

Our wings are not tired

We have always given the school a reduced rate, but we were looking at the possibility of donating it outright for the first couple of shows, which would have more than covered the price of a new laptop.

Don't think that the temptation to march into his office whenever I find the smallest blemish on any piece of gear school has rented and declare gross negligence and that the school is responsible for the full replacement cost of the item isn't there. I won't do it, but the temptation is certainly there. The other option is to present him with a bill for the repair of any equipment the school rents, then tear it up in front of him and say, "This is because I understand that accidents do happen."

Excellent work, Pix.

Ha!

Now tagless for your comfort.

Man, that would be sooooooo tempting.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Dear Malt-O-Meal,

While I'm grateful you are trying to keep the cost of dry cereals down, one raisin in eight spoonfuls does not Raisin Bran make. Without the raisins, it's just bran.

No love,

Me.

ND, I join you in the "Spite is the Ultimate Temptation" corner.

ION, I have coffee.

IOON, I will be drinking while calling the DMV.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Srsly, ND.

Okay, so it would be about $70 to have someone else do the cleaning when I move. I think it might be worth it, especially since it would just come out of my safety deposit. I am all about stress reduction and simplification at this point. Thoughts?

Sure, that makes sense. You've got a lot to do. My question is: when would the cleaning happen, if the new tenants are moving in Thursday night?

Do it! You have enough other things and in the scheme of it all, $70 is bubkes for the stress it removes.

Pix, you are are just the epitome of class. Tino is still a schmuck. And I'm in ND's "Smite is SOOOOOOO tempting corner."

I, too, have coffee. I have not, however, consumed anywhere near enough yet.
