Due to clicking on omnis's link, I discovered Google is celebrating the 115th anniversary of the discovery of x-rays.
Much coolness.
Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

[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.

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.

Timelies all.
Just skipped and skimmed, and the vegan Thanksgiving conversation now has me earwomed with Dar Willaims' "The Christians and the Pagans."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Liese, was it perchance about my supervisor/trainee ratio (she hopes a little selfishly)? Also, would love to hear more about your training when you have the brane.
Just lost a morning with my trainees due to meeting confusion (not mine) and will be in meetings a good chunk of tomorrow, too. ::sigh::

smonster, I don't have facts&figures for you, but if you are meant to act as a mentor to these people, then 1:5 is really the limit for getting to know them, and for them to get to know you, to develop the trust and respect.

Much, much ~ma, amyth.

Your comments policy sounds awesome, Shir!
After a tough weekend thinking it through (and also enjoying the company of my dad, not-stepmother and their hearing dog), I've just asked to go part-time at uni. (I say asked. I sent a clearly-worded e-mail saying that's what is going to happen, with the subtext I WILL SUE THE ARSES OFF YOU IF YOU ARGUE running through it very pointedly.) Mostly I feel relieved and a lot freer. There's residual seriously-pissed-off-ness that disability continues to prevent me from working full-time, but it is what it is. (And there's also the uni's epic support fail making it worse, so it's not like it's just about my crappiness.)

Toast. Nasty-tasting toast. My supervisor, of all people, has decided to go off in a huff about this and tell me - in an e-mail he made public to other people - that he wants me to reconsider. While doing a lot of back-covering to ensure I'm not complaining about *him*.
I am going to get fish and chips.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It sounds like he's taking it personally.

"While you have been an excellent supervisor in many ways, the lack of required accommodation has forced me to take this step. I would very much like to reconsider, but only if I can receive written assurances that the established procedures and requirements will be followed. Perhaps we can meet with [insert names of people that he cced] to discuss the situation and come to a resolution that works for all involved. I am available [list several dates and times]. Thank you for your concern and I hope that we can all come to a workable solution."
cced to everyone, of course.
