for what its worth, the Sensei trainee who is "helping" Real Amanda is super duper hot. He has amazing chemistry with her.

Remember last week when I posted that Olivia, a mastiff that had been lost for nearly a year had been found? Since then things have taken a strange turn. Olivia was being fostered when she was lost by L., who intended to adopt her. The rescue wouldn't pay for the search, so L. spent most of her savings trying to find Olivia. Another rescue heard her pleas, and took over Olivia's wardship, and started to help pay for the search. After Olivia went to the vet, L. got an email message from someone at the rescue saying, thanks for all your help getting her back, but we're giving her to another foster home, and your services are no longer needed. L. was understandably upset, and has been talking with them ever since trying to get Olivia back. The rescue just sent out an email to those of us on the Find Olivia list that the dog isn't Olivia after all.
I don't even know. L. hasn't answered my texts. I have a suspicious nature.
That's...I don't know what that is.
They are saying that the found mastiff was not spayed, and Olivia's records show that she was. So despite the matching markings and scars, this cannot be Olivia.
I can't imagine what this is doing to L.
Sometimes the spay scar heals up really well, and they can't tell until they start the surgery...
They had to do surgery on the found mastiff, so the found mastiff was definitely not spayed. But I do think that the first rescue could have gotten things wrong . . . and that now L. will just never get any kind of closure.
Argh. I caught a whole bunch of my students plagiarizing from Yahoo Answers. I'm pissed off. They didn't even plagiarize well -- this was a homework question similar to an example we'd done in class, and they submitted an answer that made no reference to any class material.

Oh, that sucks, Hil. Cheat smarter, kids!
Man, today is an unproductive day. Well, it's productive, just not in the things I intended to be working on. Which would be fine if I weren't helping out with this retreat this weekend. I don't know why I agreed to do it. I still haven't gotten the schedule or contact information for any of the artists. Gonna be hard for me to do my assigned task of "make sure people are where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there" when I don't know who's coming or what's going on when. I haven't even heard what time I'm supposed to show up.
But anyway, today's tasks apparently seem to be "translate between graphic designer and printer" about a billion times. I know everyone is trying to do their best to get my non-profit cost effective options, but damn, people, I have budget for this. Let's just get it done!
