Argh! My belief that my candy thermometer would beep when the proto-yogurt cooled down to the designated temperature was unwarranted. That was not a good thing to complete forget I was doing.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My manager has suggested I don't work tomorrow. I'm having all sorts of conflicty feelings. In terms of the shiny shoes being too tight, I had intended to go have my brows done during lunch today, but the boss took us for Mexican instead. I could do that tomorrow morning, ship off my faulty NAS, and go earlier to the ER.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OK, this fucking thing better be done. I really believe it is done, and also really need a drink. Which, luckily, I have at home, since I cannot deal with one more person today.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay,
so student contacts me asking to do an independent exam with me (students here have to do a set of independent exams, each with a different faculty member). I set up an appointment. BTW, he is about 45-40 years old and currently is a faculty member at another university.
Student emails that he is running late, but it is late enough that I need to reschedule because it would have run into another meeting.
We reschedule. He stands me up for that appt. Wrote it down for the wrong day.
We reschedule for today. I emailed him 4 hours prior confirming the meeting. He said yes, he will be there. He shows up and apologizes: he does not want to do the exam he had planned when he first emailed me. So he thought he would "chat."
WHAT.THE.FUCK.
I am in the middle of grading and whole host of other bullshit I need to do (personal and professional) and this person (who canceled on me twice) decides to actually waste my time and show up to "chat." He isn't a friend of mine. We have met once before. I did not run to campus for the sole reason of having a "chat" with him.
Our program is small so I am concerned he will want me to be on his dissertation committee or something like that and I find this behavior pretty unacceptable.
So I wrote a note to his advisor asking if I could speak to the advisor about this.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
le nubian, that is a huge pile of WTF.
When M complains about his students sometimes, I get twinges of guilt thinking back to how careless I was as a college student -- mostly in terms of procrastinating and just flat-out not doing the reading, things like that, but I'm sure I was inconsiderate of my professors' time as well. I just hope it was never anything as bad as that! But this guy is a faculty member at another school??? Unbelievable.
