Skim. Skimminy Skim Skim skimroo. I had to skim like 4 days worth I think. Too. Much. At. Work. Poor student. WAY over her head. Not a good thing for a 3rd year MFA student. And has absorbed ALL my time. I am like 150 e-mails behind at work. Not cool. Missed a morning meeting yesterday. Blargh. Today is a holiday, and I'm going in for a couple hours to work on e-mails and stuff. Either way, my brain hurts, and stressing about the rest of the quarter.
Tons and tons of ~ma to everyone! Too much to pull a Meara.
Barb, I'm sorry about crazy lady. I keep trying to google her,
but apparently I haven't quite figured out who she is. I blame all the stress mentioned above. But happy you got some good quotes for your dust jacket!
OK, off to work.... uggggg.
So bored. I've got one student taking an exam, and I have nothing to do but just sit here until he finishes. I've already answered all my emails and planned my classes for tomorrow, and I've run out of internet.
Good deal, Barb!! My sister works at Border's, and I've persuaded her to face your book out on the shelves when it gets there.
You're a goddess-- but then, you knew that.
I know I wouldn't be able to take bad reviews no matter how common. Good thing I don't get reviewed because I suck at taking criticism.
Oh, they're definitely neuroses-making. And taking criticism is definitely an up-and-down thing for me. I like to think I can take most criticism well, but it's been a learned thing. And it definitely doesn't always roll off my back.
Finally! The plumber is coming to fix the toilet. I think I mentioned the flaking out dude? Call me at 8pm when you get home, and says be there in an hour, and never shows? Will it's been a week (busy week, low priority), so I e-mailed the property management folks. They are sending Roto-Plumber or something. Just as I was about to leave, I get the message. Hopefully be here in an hour. Guess I'm not going in to work today.
Also, it looks like Rudy, the building maintanence guy that was real nice, but took bloody forever to do anything (because of talking all the time) has been sacked. Which is mixed feelings. he was a nice guy, but damn it, I want the shit fixed!
OK, time to find food within the apartment!
Oh, and for the cat folks out there:

Oh, and for the cat folks out there:
Oh, yeah, I know that noise, the "Human! Attend to the needs of your cat-god!" There's always food out for the cats, so that noise generally gets used for "The door is closed! Why is the door closed?"
Thank you, everyone for your good wishes. We have arrived at the inn and decided to skip dinner because Mom had this fabulous cheese platter with the biggest chocolate covered strawberries and a bottle of prosecco ordered for us. Slounging now.
Please let me know if I am becoming too annoying. We're in a gorgeous room with a ton of books. I may never leave.
Yay elope and post! And yay for cheese and booze!!
Am at recruitment for next phase of training. Exciting.
Elope&Post! Woot! I now pronounce you.... oh wait, I need paperwork to do that.
Toilet is fixed. Dude fixed it no time flat! It took longer for the tank to fill up then it did for him to swap out all the parts.
Oh! And while waiting to let in the plumber, since my internet phone number is a local long distance number and USELESS for the front door buzzer, one of my neighbors buzzed himself in. I asked how he did that, and he told me the secret unlock code for the front door! Woot! Now I can order delivery food.
