Hey teachers - you give an assignment to post something "by Wednesday". Does that mean by end of day Wednesday or by end of day Tuesday?

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.

Barring a specific stated time, or general rule stated elsewhere, my presumption on such an instruction is that it means some time on Wednesday. Posting it by midnight is bending the rules a little. Posting by midnight of you're on the west coast and you're postin it for someone on the east coast is totally cheating, excpt there's nothing to say it is so Nyah.

not your mom's socks.
today's DIY project: 10-pocket roll-up knitting needle holder in black with asian print accent. No pattern, 45 minutes.
prediction: If I don't have a lock on a major project soon, I will likely quilt the house.

As a teacher, if it's marked midnight on Wednesday, it would be on time.
So I got to sleep about 1:30 am last night, and woke up when Dan's alarm went off at 4:30 am. And try as I might, I couldn't get back to sleep. I got up, ate a few crackers, tried to get back to sleep, but finally got up at 7:45.
I'm tired, but I figure this is just part of the getting back on track that I need to do. I've gotten a lot done today so far, and will get yet more done.
I'll def need another shower tonight though, and I took one last evening late. Cleaning is grotty! But I am well on the way to a very organized closet! I have found quite a few pieces of clothing I forgot I had!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I come at it from a litigation and not a teaching view. If it went out in Wednesday's mail, it would be on time.
Which once caused me to be part of a wild ride through downtown DC around 8:30 p.m. one night to get to a FedEx collection point before it closed for the night. Because the nearer collection points had closed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking as an HR person, the longer it takes, the more likely they are putting the pieces together to make a counter-offer.

Thank you, Scrappy, that is very helpful to hear.

Gah. The check engine light is on in my car.
Swell.

A lot of times that just means a sensor is off. Click & Clack told me so!
