That's not what making out sounds like -- unless I'm doing it wrong?

Hoping it just got unplugged and a little time in sleep mode will bring it back, but it won't wake up or reboot. Feh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate that panicky feeling of hardware failure.

I have given substantive comments on three of the five sexual identity papers. But no scores. I'm scared of scores, even if they are in pencil for her review. The two I've left for last taunt me. One is written by a woman I'm pretty sure is homophobic. Her tone is very smug and distant. But I can't mark her down for her beliefs. I'm just trying to work out where the lines are. And the other one is nigh incomprehensible. My sister gives really detailed line edits. She's hardcore. This paper can't be edited like that. It needs deep tissue rewriting. And I can't make head nor tail of her point. She keeps going off the rail two thirds of the way through the sentence.

I don't know how y'all do this for a living. Correcting business documents on the down low is stressful enough.

At least I backed up 2 days ago? I'll use my work laptop while I explore my options. Now to keep the genius bar appt or not. I think I know what they'll tellme , alas.

Gah. She says to start off every evaluation with a positive. What if I can't find one? How do you guys survive?

Now tagless for your comfort.

But I can't mark her down for her beliefs.

That's a pity.

Theoretically, I don't think homosexuality not being a choice is a *belief*, but that's the smugness of my position.

She just so proudly presents the fact she's never met a gay or trans* person. It's icky.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

That she knows of!

Hardware~ma, sarameg.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, sara. Genius bar seems worth a shot at least?

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Heh. The last time I went to the Genius Bar, the nice guy who helped me was named Matt Freake.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Shit, sarameg. I hate that feeling so very much. I hope you get good news.
