I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Also if I have to show my work on a test, why doesn't the asshat who grades have to show their fucking work on how they got the answer?!

Yeah, Hil, what's up with all those degrees you got and those paychecks they give you? Totally unfair.

Oy, Hil.

I'm so tired and hungry right now. A salesperson called 5 minutes before I was supposed to leave with good news for one of my accounts but which required me to do some updates so I din't end up leaving for another hour and a half. Well, required is strong, but due to the quirks of our reporting system it's just way better that those got done today rather than tomorrow morning. On the bright side, I start my new schedule tomorrow, so I don't have to be in until 8:30! Quite a change. And there was literally no one else apparent in my office when I left today at 5, except the people who come in after hours and clean, so I think I'll be leaving on time if not early pretty much all the time.

Leave msbelle alone, weather!

Hope it's nothing, msbelle.

T, what time were you having to be in before?

I feel like now that I have a pretty regular schedule I need to arrange things to do after 4pm, so I don't just goof off for three or so hours and realize it's past dinner time.

In other exciting news: the frozen custard place that closed while I was on vacation (!!!) reopened under new owners!! And I had some yesterday and it was just as delicious as ever.

Glad there's not more work for you.

The pollen, or I guess the particulates and mildewy moldy things are doing me in this spring; I don't feel sick, I just have epic snot, which wrecks havoc on a variety of systems, not just the breathing one. Weird ones. Like my joints. And I'm really over the random itches and breakouts.Anyway.

Thinking of stapling a sheet over my gaping ceiling holes. Getting tired of reinforcing tape.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Stay safe, Texas peeps!

So maybe the next time I get a 50% on a homework someone could explain how to solve the problems.

Let me guess: you did explain, in class, since more than one person got it wrong, plus made yourself available for office hours. Which asshat skipped. I've had that student on occasion, only the writing equivalent isn't "explain what I did wrong" (ie, write the correct answer directly on the paper since I can't be expected to apply knowledge), it's "grades were totally subjective, she only gave good grades to writing that she thinks is good."

OMG dinner is so good! I made a salad of bok choy, carrots, apples, cucumber, cilantro, peanuts, chicken, and a spicy dressing. Only problem is I promised Cody there would be some for him when he got home.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

No joke, this was the quote in the upper corner just now.

She just... she just did the math.
