"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't remember parents being involved in the high school scheduling process. We filled them out at the end of the school year for the entire next year. However, the guidance counselors were and wouldn't have allowed us to not sign up for something we needed in order to graduate.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yeah I am not necessarily required to be involved, but he is not focused on what is needed, so I will remain involved. He also changed his schedule numerous times in Jr high and I was not notified which is a giant NO in my book even though it is allowed. He needs to learn to stay with things, deal with things, have some hard teachers, have classes with and without friends.

I did my highschool schedule alone, but I would have never failed a fine art this putting me behind by 10th grade. And I would have started language in 9th grade to get it done, but Not my kid. He will be completing requirements until the last semester.

Coding and Sleeping

Well, using cloud services is pretty useful especially if you have to scale quickly.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We are in Kansas City, relaxing in our hotel after walking a lot to find a grocery store. (We couldn't pack everything we need for the little guy)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Thinking back to high school, I don't think we were given options (and certainly not younger). If I remember correctly, once you got on a track (college prep, advanced or vocational), you were assigned to whatever would fit the schedule, not make the classes disproportionate in size, etc.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am getting that feeling again that I will never be able to leave work. So damn much to do and it just seems to increase.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I should have worked late, but I saw the guy who dumped a pile of shit in my lap at 3:30 leaving at 5:01, so I left, too. Fuck that guy.

That's fair.

Oh my god, Excel, just do something! Even if it's not what I just told you to do.

Our wings are not tired.

The Cloud makes my life much easier. Far fewer instances of users screwing my stuff up. Also all my data is replicated to Chicago and Miami so that is reassuring.
