Went out at lunch and bought cupcakes: left one on my boss's desk.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Suela, you are a good person with the cupcake thanks. I'm glad they fixed your posting. Just. Ohmigod. Still sending jobma.
In incompetent coworker news....
Two weeks ago, they moved one of my classes to a colleague to teach it as an auxiliary. They were then supposed to create a class in my 3rd period as honors lit. I have an awesome and exciting curriculum for it and am stoked about teaching it. I gave them a list of kids and then... nothing.
Today I came into work because I thought they have not filled the class yet. I have no students. I'll leave and go home at 12:00 since I don't feel 100%. But no. They GAVE ME STUDENTS TODAY. But not all of them. Just 9. So I'm babysitting and still not teaching.
This issue could and should have been resolved before school started, when I pointed the issue out. It's been 7 weeks. GROWL!
Also, I'm with Steph. My fave is Someone is Wrong on the Internet.
My Samsung Galaxy S III has arrived! Now I wait for the number to complete transferring from my BlackBerry. I'm having unexpected anxiety over losing my BB.
I'm having anxiety over everything lately. It's nuts.
Since I'm feeling a little better (and maybe want to trade my DVR in for a new one this weekend), I thought I'd go ahead and watch Contagion. We'll see how this goes.
I sneezed in the theatre watching that movie and worried I'd be bagged and tagged. It was allergies!
Jesse,
um, I hope it goes well? I was entertained by Contagion, but I didn't think it was GREAT.
Very late YAY, Consuela. I hope this next part is easy and quick.
I went to the mall to return a boatload of stuff and I heard an early 90's Dave Matthews Band tune. I said to the store manager (because of course 25% of my social interactions are with retail personnel), "man, I haven't heard that song in like 10 years." She proceeds to tell me that they have 1 cd of "pop hits" that they have to play in the store and that is the only music that they play.
This selection of hits includes "whip my hair." She has heard these songs over and over again for 6 months.
Serious question: isn't this a UN defined torture technique? I think I would absolutely lose my shit if I had to listen to the same 20 songs over and over again for months. I thought Christmas season in retail was bad when I did it. This is worse.
I don't think I've ever heard the song Whip My Hair. I don't feel this is a lack in my life.
