Yeah, compartment syndrome is seriously life-threatening! At least they saved his elbow, which is a big deal for various sorts of prosthetics.

Also I went looking for a professional resource and found a Sentinel slash list with basically the same name.

That's the one! I actually wondered if the no-vowels one could be useful for flea's person, but you have to register to see it, and I couldn't be bothered.

I love watching the weather roll up the valley. Clouds are now hiding the mountains. I can see the world!

Tonight is parent/teacher night at CJ's high school. I'm so frustrated both with him and with his teachers. He got off to a bad start, again, this semester. But his teachers have been horrible about updating grades, as in nothing has changed in weeks and I know he has done work and supposedly turned it in.
He is in so much trouble over his grades and he gets so discouraged when the work he puts in doesn't appear to make a difference. I know he isn't the only student the teacher has and I'm not looking for instant updates, but weekly shouldn't be too much to ask. Or is it?

Because books.
Maybe you could get his guidance counselor involved? Ask her/him to check on grades at the end of the week, and then s/he could get in touch with you?

Aaargh.
The after hours calls in the Fixed Pricing are estimates. We do the same thing for ALL clients. We estimate their volume at $X.XX /call…and then each month, when we have actual transaction volume and actual call center costs for each month, we calculate the Actual Transaction cost for that month. It should be close but it could be higher or lower on any given month.
That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!

That's not fixed pricing, is it? It seems kinda ... variable.

Which is the point the client is making too. Banging my head.
