Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I so have no place to covet shoes! All I wear anymore are clogs and flip flops. sigh.

But I may take a look for some dresses for you, msbelle, just 'cause.

and tales are coming out about perhaps more approaches to students that cross over into harassment.

Oh no! As bad as harassing teachers is, harassing students is way worse.

Because books.

Wait, the student had approached another teacher as well? Wow.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I just need to start seriously sewing my own stuff, you know, in all the free time I have. Maybe I can hire a local seamstress. I have vintage patterns already and can pick fabric to be exactly what I want. I feel a plan hatching.

Fuck shit up. Entirely older sister endorsed.

Damn right. Because this gets creepier and creepier, and your sister should stomp on this hard.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sounds to me like this is under "academic misconduct" and the institution likely has a "code of conduct" that I am certain the student has already broken.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

In non-crazy work news - my boss's boss called me with my raise information and thanking me for my service to the company. I'm getting a 3% bump, which is apparently higher than the company average. Woot!

In crazy work news - why is it so hard to spell my name right in an e-mail. It is RIGHT THERE...must you change the "i" to a "y"? Really?

Oh, I hate that. Pay attention, people! Something came home from school for Sara yesterday and it was spelled "Sarah". Not on, school.

Also, yay raise!

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

Yup. She has to wait until Monday to find the exact text, and then she's going to send off her case.

She talked about being in a better position to get justice than a student would be, and other stuff that I'd not really be thinking about right now, but I'm either avoidant or vindictive. I'm not good with the middle ground. Our consensus was that she's Jesus to my Batman. In terms of relationships that never happened.

Congrats on the extra money, Suzi (how did I type Sizu the first time?)! And the vote of confidence.

I love when people capitalise my name, because I hate it. I mean, I wonder if they think I wrote it wrong, and it's the only mis-spelt word or poor grammar in the entire document/email/whatever, or they just don't see it.

My CIO took to writing iTA, but she never said word one about it to me. I do entirely prefer the people who ask "Really? That was deliberate?" because I think that's exactly the reasonable response, especially when they don't press me on why. Of course, just taking me at my (uncapitalised) word drives me delirious with happiness.
