Yup, just started here.
Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy - wanted to say thanks for your help with 504 resources. We had our meeting last week and were able to address a bunch of stuff. Now it is just a matter of both the teachers AND CJ doing their parts. So far so good - he has 1 A, 2 B's and 2 C's. And the B's are close to A's with the C's being close to B's - so at least he isn't starting in a hole.
That's excellent!

IT's way too hot here, but no t-storms predicted until tomorrow.

Going back to the being unfit for work thing, when I was younger I used to think I used to think that I wouldn't know what to do with myself if I didn't have a job. Like it would be great for a little while but not long term.
Now I think retirement would be awesome and how soon can I make that happen?

I have never ever felt like that. It bewilders and confuses me when people say things along those lines.

I have never ever felt like that.
I don't even understand how I ever felt like that. But that was a time before I moved to a big city, before Netflix and ebooks and digital comics and free online classes. And, you know, getting older and actually realizing that my time is limited?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Going Walden! There's a word for it! Of course there is. That's what I'm doing.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I come from a long line of people who think like that, and I somehow got the "wants to go live on the side of a mountain with a bunch of hippies" side of the motivation gene pool.
Sadly, I also got the "wants to be highly stable" thing from the workaholic side, and the two are not matchy.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I went to Macy's after work to look for a new outfit for the Jewish Holidays. Usually that is an exercise in frustration for a variety of reasons. Amazingly, I found a suit that is a)appropriate to wear to synagogue b) has a skirt, not pants and c) is in a color I like. I ended up paying $75 for something was originally $200. Best of all, the whole thing took 15 minutes!
