A student just emailed me, on the day that the homework is due, to ask for an extension, because he ordered the textbook online and it didn't arrive yet, and therefore he couldn't do the homework. Oh, hell no. There are around 2000 students on this campus taking this course, another several hundred in other courses that use the same textbook, and the book is on reserve in the library.
It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I used to wait until after I had gone to classes for a week to get my textbooks on the grounds that I wanted to see which ones I really needed before throwing money down. But I never let the profs know, and I for darn sure got any assignments in on time.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Mostly the "just add water to the powder!" already-made-food.

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH would save money by not buying a text book if he could get away with it. That never stopped him from completing assignments.

Things I have done today:
- Started a load of laundry.
- Had eggs for breakfast.
- Walked to the auto shop to retrieve Daniel's car for him (so I can have *my* car back).
- Fed the cats.
- Put laundry on the line.
- Applied bandage to Daniel's leg (the continued formation of blisters flumoxes me).
Time, I think, for nappage.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
WindSparrow's had a much more productive day than I:
Made a smoothie
Drove to work
Taught 1 class
Did mighty battle with our new printing/copying system (which blows) and totally lost
Yeah...

I was going to post about the unproductive morning I've had so far, but as soon as I started to type I got sideswiped by a truckload of work! No fair!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Tino was totally driving that truckload. Assface.
