"Yes," I deadpanned. "No one mistakes it for a weapon, but it IS."
Oh, fantastic.
It's a wine stopper, a cosh, or the oddest nail punch I've ever seen!! I kind of want to carry it around, too.

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

I hope I don't sound like an ungrateful bitch
No, you sound like a Virgo.

And you can cosh someone, drink a nice glass of Chianti, and then nail their id to your "Jerks I Whapped Upside the Head" souvenir wall.

Did I mention that two of the rooms are nearly a mile away from each other? Getting to all six rooms within the 75 minutes of the exam is so not going to happen. There are three right in the middle of campus, and then two about half a mile away in one direction, and the last one about half a mile away in the other direction.
Hil, can you get together with the other professors so that each of you covers a building? If everyone is giving the same exam, they should be able to ask questions of any of the profs.
On a side note, this situation irritates me and makes me bitter, because this kind of shit is what I do. There's no reason for this kind of disorder and inconvenience.

Ahahaha.

Wait, which part?
OMG, why am I still up? And still wearing this uncomfortable strapless bra?
One more cute thing - poor boo was so tired that his Alabama accent was on display like never before. Usually it only shows when he says "darlin'," which totally makes me wibble because it sounds so bad when people try to fake it and so awesome when said right. But tonight? Dipthongs for days.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy Birthday, smonster! Even if I'm a bit late.

I'm sorry about your kitty, Epic.
I stayed up way too late last night talking fic and podcasts with my upstairs neighbor. (Her: And here's one of the best podcast readers I've ever heard. She's called "FayJay" and she's reading these Sherlock fics. Me: She is awesome. Also, Buffista!) After work I'm going with a friend for pedicures (her first ever, at 59). I hope I don't fall asleep in the massage chair.

I'm not sure. A lot of the other instructors have all their students in one room, so I'm not sure if they'd be willing to rearrange stuff like that. I'd already thought of asking other instructors who have rooms near some of mine to check in on them, but two of my rooms are in buildings that don't have anyone else giving this exam.

The department had to fire several administrative people over the summer, because of budget cuts, and one of them was the one who used to organize this stuff. So now other people are trying to figure out how to do it.

Epic, I'm so sorry.
Hil, that's a crazy situation.
