Why am I in such a bad mood? I mean, besides the fact that I overslept and today is my first day back at work after a four-day weekend?

Seems like a perfectly cromulent reason to me.

I dry on a rack anything that says line dry or hang dry or dry flat, along with all my workout clothes (it helps keep the stink down, and helps any lycra/spandex live longer)

I am editing a paper that talks about Programmed Death Ligand.

That would be a great metal band.

As a parent, summer vacation fills me with dread and anxiety most years. This year I feel oddly at peace with it, at least for now. I'm sure the dread will come but I see no reason to court it.

That's good!

I should go do work. Don't wanna. Need to. Problem is I'm home all this week, so most of the work that needs to be done is fiddly little stuff that always gets put off, like printing emails to send to files.

Mac is out of school this Thursday.

Is that like running out of internets?

Work is soooo slow.

Now boss has asked us to do a log of our daily activities. I do not like. Makes me think they are asking for justification for positions.

So related to something I needed to do today, I did a random audit of one day's shipping documents (spreadsheets I do not keep and papers I do not file) we are Missing one documents and the tracking spreadsheet had information wrong on EVERY SINGLE ENTRY. Jesusita. No good. I know what we will be doing the rest of this week.

It may just be my mood, but this SMBC comic made me LOL just now:

I am currently hating everyone who's on the semester schedule and getting out for summer. Here in Quarter Land, we still have four weeks to go. Yesterday and its lovely weather and laziness did not make this yearning to be done any easier.

Glad for the lack of dread, Burrell!

One of my friends from UNO got flooded (in Houston) but they are all okay.

Someone brought in strawberry rhubarb pie this morning and it is SO GOOD

When I taught in CT we ended at the end of June. At my current school the students are done June 5 and I'm done June 10. Can't. Wait.

Why am I in such a bad mood?

I don't know, dude. I'm having a Demon Day.

Yipes!

I always think, from a Franny-centric perspective, school should last one more month. By the last month or so she's finally gotten everything down and has created a pace and schedule that works for herself. And one extra month of instruction, especially if it focused on projects that helped her to contextualize everything she's learned during the year, would be terrific. But alas, that's not how school works.
