So far, four students have done this: they see their average grade on the online gradebook, and then they email me begging for extra credit or something that they can do to get a few extra points, or asking me why the grade hasn't been curved like I said it would be, without having first logged on to check the actual grade that was recorded for the semester. If they had done that, they would have seen that the grade was curved, and the grade that they're begging for is the grade that they already have.
We're proud to say that the Class of '99 has the lowest mortality rate of any graduating class in Sunnydale history.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.
And I have students who are frantically e-mailing me asking why there isn't a grade posted in the online gradebook after I made two announcements, both in writing on the website, that I'd be grading all weekend so the scores would fluctuate and they should wait until Tuesday to check the final grade. I'm trying to remind myself that many of my students are kids and grades are really important in their lives but still.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
repost from Natter:
Who sent me the green snowflake ornament? It must have fallen out of a package or an envelope because I found it on the floor and I know I've never seen it before! It's very pretty and I put it on a hanging basket to wait until I get the tree up. A mystery snowflake appeared!
It really has been chaos around here, with the moving of stuff and the enthusiastic helpers.

I believe Suzi is the culprit. A number of us got them and thanked her in Good-bye and Good Riddance.

I am at work, where I'm introducing male co-workers to SockDreams and trying to persuade them that they can too order from it.
I will not let heteronormativity win this morning.

That's awesome, Shir. I just recommended it to someone, yesterday! Not, however, someone who will break the barrier that is heteronormativity.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm finally feeling better, and now TCG is headed home from work sick.
Oh, man, I'm torn between "Your poor family!" and "Thank God he waited until you were feeling better, because there is no greater domestic nightmare than a teething baby and both parents sick."
Healing and germ-slayage vibes in abundance to TCG.

So, true.

Thank you.

My aunt called me this morning apparently to let me know that I should be getting stuff done when ltc sleeps. I don't think I'll tell her that what I got done this morning was to catch up on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend and what I got done this afternoon was a shower.
