So? If the female student is the one who always says "That's what she said", does that fall into this example:

Professor Minnie Monopoly is the only female Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics. Professor Monopoly is concerned about the double entendres that are frequently made around the office. Professor Monopoly is concerned as much for others in the vicinity as she is for herself. She comes to you, the Department Chair, looking for advice, but has no interest in filing a formal complaint as she believes she will simply create enemies by doing so. She also stated that she does not feel she has been harassed.

Lord knows I try and get them to stop. And, I've been just as guilty of saying sometimes myself. But the female student says it ALL the time. To the point where, when she isn't there, and a perfect set up happens, the male students are "where is ___ when you need her?"

Ugg. Forgot, it has been 2 years since I took the Sexual Harassment Training for the school. So, doing the online version now. While it is necessary. It is rather dry, and all text based. And the abbreviation for Sexual Harassment Officer makes me want to watch Dexter. (It's SHO).

Be happy. I had to take online ethics training that involved "being a fly on the wall" (with an actual virtual fly that buzzed very loudly). Or the Pirate Treasure Hunt where you got "booty" when you finished a module.

Erroneously posted in Natter, following on the 'I'm cranky' thread:

I'm not cranky. It was a lovely cool day and Cagney is getting better every day.

I found myself telling him that I love him the other day...much to my own surprise. He doesn't care, of course, but it's a major step for me.

I was also way more productive work-wise yesterday and today. That makes me feel better...a lot. For a while there, I wondered if my GTD functions were broken.

I'm so sorry, Wisconsin, about y'all being stuck with that smirking jerkoff till one of the indictments comes through or something. I tried. (Most of our governors get indicted too...it's a sucktastic little club.)

Hm, so the OKCupidness is going.... One who I'm not really into but who emailed me, I suggested coffee, she suggested pride this weekend (down in Olympia, which it looks like is closer to her). And I'd like to go....but if I'm not into her don't want to have committed to hanging out all afternoon! Contemplating suggesting coffee pre-pride, but then want to go, but don't want to go alone (sadly, my friend down there is busy that day).

Other person who I wrote to wrote back and we may play bananagrams (which autocorrected to "bad anagrams"!). So, yay that.

Words be damned, he probably knew it before you did. That's the wonderful thing about pets - emotions generally get through to them in a way that English won't.

Hey Meara. I'm in Olympia. I'll even be circulating a petition to replace Puget Sound Energy with public power at the Pride Saturday. If you want, we can arrange something where you can use me as an escape hatch if you are not into her, but we can meet another time if you are into her. My profile addy is good.

Irony. Applying for a loan with your credit union, and gathering all the neccesary statements, and having trouble finding the two recent months statements for my credit union... and of course, the website doesn't allow for downloading statements, just transaction history. Argh!

Seems I'm the only one up. Hmm. So? I wonder. If a slightly elevated level of anxiety would explain why my jaws are so tired.. as in... I think I am clenching my teeth. Must. Relax. This home buying business is unerving. Doesn't help when the students are asshats, and add to stress level. Ugg.

I'm sorry that the students are being asshats and that the home buying process is unnerving, omnis.
