Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

as he goes off to ride a motorcycle around the backroads of the Gulf Coast.

He should pick up a copy of Dylan's Chronicles, which has an interesting section about Dylan recording in New Orleans and riding his motorcycle out around the Gulf Coast.

What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?

Going to therapy. And finishing writing the proposal for the fiction project, so I can send it off to my agent.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I have done most of my work-related onerous tasks! I edited together some videos for our school tv. And, I'm almost done grading some speech exams on communication. I only have the matching left, so just the easy parts to grade! Yay!

Most of the 8th graders are gone a field trip so I'm getting a lot of onerous tasks done. I had 1 kid in 5th period, 1 in 6th, will not have any in 8th. So, I can get work done!

I have other things to do when I get home, but I'm not thinking about them right now.

Because books.

Well, imagine I have two arms.

This made me laugh from the comments section.

TL;DR version of the exchange between Aaron Barr and Anonymous:

Barr: I cast Power word, IRL!
*spell fizzles*
Anonymous: LOL, NO U
*critical hit*

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I did a little filing, but then got caught up in a conversation about 14-year-old work gossip. Good times.
