At the risk of gaslighting you, Scrappy, you are neither!
I'll be fine. I'll be your bounty, Jubal Early. And I'll just fade away.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have considered putting up a website called "Someone is wrong on the internet," where one can go post about people being wrong on the internet without having to actually interact with the stupid people.
But how would you keep the stupid people out?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel that I thought I was way more interesting and skilled than I actually am.
I feel that this is crazy talk. You are incredibly interesting and skilled!

You have pointed out the essential problem. Perhaps there needs to be a quiz to log in.

Trust my rage
Happy Birthday, Mathilda!
And how exciting both Amy and Kate! Totally different types of great news.
And I'm sorry Scrappy. That sounds discouraging but I hope it works out okay in practice.

XKCD suggested that but can't find that one offhand.

You are incredibly interesting and skilled!

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman
That article has links to the email exchange. I think the Police Chief should have discussed the issue with the Prof and Dept Chair and that the Prof should be less of an ass. [link]
I find it interesting that he acknowledged that context was needed to explain his use of the quote.

Normally Scrappy is wise, but not in this instance--you are vibrant and smart and on top of shit, not middle-aged and frumpy or passed-over.
