These blood pressure medicines can go to hell. I'm not taking them anymore. Too bad my doctor's office isn't open tomorrow. Hope he's the doctor on call. I'll ask if I should taper off or if I can just stop. See, I'm trying to be responsible even as I'm being noncompliant. I see him again in a week anyway, he can give me something else. Or not. Don't really want to take any more fucking medicine for a problem I'm not even convinced I have.
Some people juggle geese!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I thought I did. A Master Site Plan that is only a suggestion seems to just by crying out for a Masturbation joke - at least to my inner 13 year boy.
Of course when I worked in a small field office for a large company years ago, we had a classification for certain reports the parent company required - PMFTAOOCM ("Public Masturbation For The Amusement Of Our Corporate Masters").

It's a blustery November day out there all right.

It's the opposite of blustery here. It was 92 yesterday afternoon at work. (only 88 at my house).

It is 35F out there this morning, so I guess I have to resign myself to November and dress accordingly.

Actually, wasn't too bad. No wind. Now have epic errands to run. Then leaves. Oh, the leaves.

It's up to 41! More as it develops....
Things I've learned from tutoring algebra/geometry:
1) All those times teachers told me that if I just had confidence in myself I'd do better? They were completely right, even if it didn't feel like it from where I was sitting. These kids are definitely bright enough for the work, but a lot of them seem to think they can't do it.
2) Even if it's been literally decades since I took algebra et al, I can still figure out a lot of the problems, even if a student has to remind me that wide angles are called obtuse and small angles are acute.
3) Talking your way through figuring out a problem is too a valid tutoring strategy, particularly when it helps illuminate the "show your work" process that gets counted towards a student's score.
4) So is talking about your answering strategy, because some questions aren't about an exact answer, but a "closest" answer, where what you're doing is eliminating all the wrong answers.
5) Being called "Miss" is strange. Of course the class I'm helping out in is one where the students are there voluntarily, because they failed last year's MCAS and need to retake so they can graduate (and most of them are ESL), so they're actually pretty motivated, and very polite.
