It is hard to find head-on photos of ducks but so far every one is wearing a dog mask (although the teal I found looked more like a coyote). Why, when I google "types of ducks" do I get an image of a naked man washing an elephant?

My guess: because he is an odd duck?

Perhaps it's an obscure verb definition of the word 'duck'.

Yeah, I haven`t gotten migraines since my Boeing coding days. The worst one there thankfully happened during one of my long hour days and I was able to huddle in the darkness in my shared office a good three hours before anyone else came in. I get the occasional dehydration headache out here but whatever was triggering me back there hasn`t followed me.

One of my students is driving me nuts with asking questions. Usually, I like questions. But he keeps asking me about things that he won't cover for another year or so, and which I haven't looked at in years, and then he just will not stop asking no matter how many times I tell him "I don't know." I've tried giving him suggestions for where to find his answers, or better people to ask, but he just keeps asking me, I say, "I don't know," and he asks the exact same question again, and so on. And this is all going on in the five minutes before class when a bunch of other students are waiting with questions actually related to the course. I tried telling him, "You can come to my office hours to discuss this, so I can answer when I have more than thirty seconds," and he just heaved a huge sigh and went back to his seat and pouted for the rest of the class.

After dealing with him, I had no social interaction left in me for dealing with any other people, so instead of going grocery shopping like I'd planned, I came right home and ordered pizza from the place that takes internet orders.

Oh, I might have to do that tonight. I am so over people today.

Put me in that camp, too. I stopped and got Tex Mex takeout on the way home. The house we're working on is still standing only out of habit, and some of the Fresh Makers were working my nerves. They never shut up and they move SOOOO SLOOOOWLY.

and some of the Fresh Makers

Bwah!

Sorry for the stress but that's some funny nicknaming right there.

I am fucking over people.

They love it, too. That's the name of our crew.

Friday is now Pieday

I cleaned off my table for pie.
