I am really hoping that the eLearning program for dairy involves some kind of virtual cow.

A cow avatar leading the learner through all the modules! According to Clark's eLearning book, avatars increase learning retention by ~20%, so there's a pedagogic reason even.

Latest social worker literally REEKS from some hideous perfume she probably bought after some article on "Having a Signature Fragrance" Come on, Universe, you aren't even letting me write good material anymore.

Oh dear. That's scary.

Freaks. Sometimes I wonder who needs more special protection.

Hee. And our department is the one that developed all the MOOCs UW currently offers (four) and are developing more. A MooMOOC would be just the thing.

That sucks. Especially if any of her client have scent allergies or triggers.

She is going to find out the hard way not to do that anymore.(You can't tell those people, anything, though, even if I hadn't felt like "how she smells" was a bit too intimate, despite the deeply personal crap she knows about me.) Me, I just hate musk. A lot. I used to think it's because some people put it on over unwashed body, but even though she seemed clean enough, still off-putting. She is clearly, in her own mind, at least, The Pretty One. I thought the ones who were bitter about being ugly were trying, but I can't win either way.

I'm hunting for a new therapist, and I just passed over one woman because she's a thin pretty blonde. Is that bad? That's bad, I guess. Given her specialties, she probably wasn't what I need anyway, but I'd said no in my head before I even read her CV. I just don't think I can cry about my body issues in front of a thin pretty woman.
