how would your mother react to a Spartacus attack?
Aw, that's nice, but she really does have a ton of friends reaching out and stuff. And she said when I said I felt bad for missing her birthday, "I'm not six!"
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I have to do this thing for an interview tomorrow, and it's due at noonish today, and I don't wanna.

Good Friday is Work Holiday, but we have tons on the books to ship. Kinda typical, drivers and hourly workers are used to this on Holidays, they get both Holiday pay and their hourly wages when they have to work. I, however, am salaried non-exempt and have previously been told to stay home. Unlike salaried exempt, I would be eligible for both Holiday pay and time and a half if I work (I think).
I could really use a day off when mac is in school, but unclear what new boss will decide.
FTR, last night's redo of the missing homework was a semi-disaster. It got done, but it was the lowest level of done possible. Misspellings, wrong capitalizations, missing punctuation, not answering the full question - lazy lazy lazy, so I marked up the questions sheet with what needed to be changed and things went downhill from there. I am shocked that I only raised my voice once and I am proud of mac that he did not try to use any electronics in defiance, but MAN. LONG slog this will be. Zero drive to do good work.

Text just sent to my son - "When you mom tells you not to take the horse's head to school and you do anyway - posting a picture online isn't the smartest move."

Because books.
The horse's head?

Oh kids.
I was going to say something about being glad we didn't have social media when I was young, but then remembered my bro skipping school and going to the movies, and then watching tv in my mom's room and leaving the ticket stub lying on the bed. Stupid finds a way.

This needs to be embroidered into pretty samplers.

His response "But I asked security and the principal before I wore it and they all said I'd be in trouble if I didn't".
But kid, I told you NOT TO TAKE IT in the first place.
