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.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Poor, benighted people.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, my plans for cooking all sorts of stuff this afternoon didn't work out, because I ended up taking a nap instead. Still feeling pretty groggy. No idea why, since I got a decent amount of sleep last night. I'll blame the snow.

My mood is slightly improving. There were a few moments here at work this morning where I thought I was in trouble for something yesterday AND I WAS GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT. But I do not think I am in any trouble, just everyone sick of the stupidness here at work.
ION, iced tea - one of the best things ever.

Couldn't agree more!
I have 20ish more papers to grade this semester. THANK GOD!
Also, there is a ridiculous number of egg yolks in lemon curd.

Ugh. I am so sorry. Part of the issue with independence, it seems, is figuring out how much rope to give a kid.
Over half of my 1st and 2nd periods are failing, and my class is one of two grad requirements for my seniors.

he will be in tutoring now, 1 or 2 days after school. I need to figure out how bus service works for kids in tutoring for next year. I just wish that he would care, he does not.

OK, there is a limit to how casual I like customers to be when they're chatting with the people around them. Apparently a woman near her is breastfeeding. That's the most innocuous explanation I can come up with for her saying cheerfully, "Suck that boob, baby." The background noises certainly don't support anything more exciting.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
