Oh, maybe my calendar was printed before they changed it. Huh.

Hippo Birdies, Kate!

The DST change used to be on the 30th -- just in time for screwing up Halloween night. They haven't moved it nearly late enough -- I'd rather have evening light than morning. Feh.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy Birthday Kate!

I have to have a "come to Jesus" with my student worker. We bent over backwards to make sure she could have 20 hours (10 in my area and 10 in another area in the school). In the past month, she has only completed 3 of her shifts without calling in, not showing up, lateness or leaving early. I am normally not a stickler for punctuality, but coupled with the just not coming, it is a killer. She has only worked 12 hours and 35 minutes this month and she was scheduled for 44.

What gets me is that she a) begged me to take her on because she needed a guaranteed 20 hours per week and b) told me what hours she wanted to work. WTF???

If by screwing up you mean adding an hour of bar time.

(ETA: and actually, it used to be earlier than that because it was very common for me to get that extra hour of sleep on my birthday weekend. Thanks for nothing, Congress.)
