Sophia,

if you don't want to let it go, you could be all passive aggressive nice threatening with the student in a private conversation.

"A person told me that you were thinking of taking the costume and I thought, since you were getting an award and so well thought of by the faculty here that you would never do such a thing. I am so glad you found the costume, right before I was going to call campus security and report the missing item to XXX. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors."

Still sick. Face still hurts. Want meds to kick in please.

That is me.

I don't think Kathy A. is on FB.

And this is also true.

What le nubian said--I might even add in something about how much the costume is worth. Is there any option that he could BUY it, since you said it's not something they'd use much? "So glad you found it, I know you like that costume--if you're interested in purchasing it, we could probably let you have it for $400--unfortunately that's about how much it would cost to replace given the fabric and time involved" or something.

That is me.

Poor Chikat! Maybe we can stick a steam hose down your nose and blast everything loose but your fillings and your brain pan.

let it go Sophia, not worth it. Just give Student C the stink eye at all opportunities and/or possibly send him notes saying "I know what you did".

Heh. I thought the exact same wording. Letting the young person know how close they came to jeopardizing their graduation seems like it may be the kindest course.

Dear Non-main boss,

You ask if you have travel booked for a week this month. Did you book it? Did you ask me to book it? No? Then my guess is No!! Neither the travel fairies, nor I magically read your cray mind and know when you want trips booked. Especially when there is nothing on your calendar indicating an out of state meeting.

- no love, me

Okay, I am having a friend over to dinner tomorrow. I work all day and need something I can either put in the crockpot in the morning, or throw together when I get home. Any suggestions? She doesn't like fish, so anything else. Oh, and I want it to be somewhat festive, because she has just been diagnosed with endometrial cancer (stage 1, luckily) and this is a "build up strength and enjoy life" kind of thing.

ETA: Fuck cancer.

if you are on pinterst, I have seen several yummy crockpot things there recently.

I have no crockpot recipes but I do have travel drama! After last week's business of "Go Wednesday. No, Monday and Wednesday. No, just Tuesday. No, Tuesday/Wed. No, Tues/Wed/Thurs!" BS, now I'm told "Next week go to Cincy! No wait, it might get changed. But you'll go to Iowa the week after that, and depending on when Cincy is, maybe to Florida! Or not" and then "No, wait, no Cincy, no Iowa, but maybe back to LA!" ARGH.

Hmm, not on pinterest.
