Hopefully this weekend I will have my house cleaned (9AM on a Saturday! Dumb idea! Do Not Repeat!) and see a movie and draw the fuck out of everything.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Are Coursera, edX and/or duolingo free? I love me some knowledge, and miss classes.
Also, check out this AMAZING owl tattoo. [link]

If I weren't ethical, I would get it in a hot second. It is GORGEOUS. And if the artist weren't based in PR, I'd love to have him do my next tat.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So, this morning I was going to say I know someone who works at EdX, but I think I just overheard in the hallway that he got laid off, so.

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

Yep. I've taken a few courses at Udacity, and liked them, but that's a somewhat different format. That dinosaur course mentioned sounds interesting.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Duolingo and Coursera courses are free. I haven't worked with edX myself. I think you may have to pay a fee to get certificates and whatnot from some free courses, but if you're just in it for the knowledge, that's not an issue.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that is a beautiful tattoo.
I love the fantasy of wishing someone would be eaten by zombies. There are a few people I would put in that category too. Mostly I just want about 3-5 people to fall down a sinkhole.

Cool! Once I have a little time, I'll have to check them out.
I am (when I am not working) turning myself into an unofficial "lawyer" at present. And doing pretty damned well at it, too. (Yes, we have an official lawyer. But I am Research and Proactive Girl, and when someone fucks with my family, I do not play around. But where's my damn $250 hour retainer?!)
To real lawyer Buffistas: not dissing real lawyers, but I am just researching KS Family Law statutes and acquiring shittons of carefully documented notarized evidence to rebut every perjurious accusation and spurious assertion, and seeking info on frivolous and vexatious lawsuits. It's fun!)
On that note, back to work-work!

"Potterverse elf freeing?"
That was it. Because Jesse said "Now you own him," and freeing a house-elf is the first thing that jumped into my mind.

Because PDFs do what they do, there's no simple way to convert from one to the other.
In Acrobat Pro, it's just Save As Excel Worksheet.
My car is having $1,800 in repairs. For that, it should be able to fly. Or park itself.

The first thing that came (no pun inteaded) into my head with the sock was masturbation. But this may be because I saw an article on Jezebel about a mother whose teenaged son was ruining all her hand towels by masturbated into them. People were like, why doesn't he use a sock!?!.
I haven't gotten a lunch break of any sort in 2 months.
In New York State, if you are non-exempt, you must be given a 1/2 hour uninterrupted unpaid lunch break between 11 am and 2 pm if your shift runs over this time. . Businesses can get fined if they do not do this. Of course, our uni just automatically takes out a half hour, and if you do miss your lunch, you have to fill out an exception log.
