I'm just trying to tell you that we have nothing in common besides both of us liking your penis.

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?"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Wouldn't Brazil be a more appropriate country for pneumatic-delivery food?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Oops.

I talked with ED that I really wasn't feeling the field trip to Longwood for multiple reasons (driving in the snow tomorrow, short work week with too many things to wrap up, Longwood has become synonomous with annoying because of boss lady, don't give a fig about orchids, and needing to be at work to deal with the snow there), so ED said he'd inform boss lady that I wouldn't be going.

I texted the intern later, who was also going to be going, to let her know that she'd be on her own. She comes back with "yeah, D texted me and said F cancelled it".

Oops. That, I did not intend. I thought it would still have been great for her to go, especially since it's her last week. Shoot, I would have been more than fine if boss lady had gone instead of me, because I've lost all figs with what she does with her time, and she'd be a better access point to the staff there.

So, good thing that boss lady's minion is out the door, because ED just created resentment (unless, of course, that's not what he said, and boss lady is using the sitch to paint him badly --my gosh, I have such negative feelings for her that this is where my mind goes).

Still, I feel bad for the intern. Oops.
