Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In

Closed Threads

[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hil, it's a religious holiday. If you can't find someone to cover your classes that day because of the cut, can't you just go to the head and say, everyone's overloaded, I can't find anyone to cover, and I need to observance Rosh Hoshanah. I'm cancelling my classes that day.

I mean, it's a major religious holiday -- what's s/he going to say? Unless you have a big track record of cancelling classes, I think a department head would be REAl hinky about saying "Uh, you can't take time off to observe your faith's major holiday after making a good-faith effort to find coverage."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That's not the wtf part. So, we are in huge budgetary woes state wide, so what they do? Give a modest, system wide, 3%ish merit raise. Huh? Um. Ok. I'll happily take it, since they just raised our parking and health insurance. But paint me confused.

Dang. I think I'm ineligible (anyone who's gotten an increase for any reason since 1/1/11 is excluded, so the job change in August rules me out). But it'll be a huge relief for so many people I know. And thank God they're also excluding all upper management.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I would do that -- in fact I did do that last year -- but the day I'll miss is a Friday, and my students have their first midterm the following Monday, so I want them to be able to ask questions on Friday. (Well, the non-Jewish ones, anyway. Whoever scheduled this midterm didn't think too much about when the holidays were.)

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?

Andi, all kinds of ~ma to you and Daniel.

What ChiKat said. I hope Daniel's OK.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Tons of ~ma for Daniel and for you too, Andi. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Much ~ma for you and Daniel, Andi.

Much ~ma to Daniel and Andi and Daniel's medical team up in the cities. Sure hands, wise heads, and healing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Poor, Daniel. What an arduous trawl through the medical system. Lots of healing-ma for him.
