Oh wow, she does look like Plei!
I am so annoyed at myself right now-- I sort of snapped at my students last night, and I haven't done that in a long time. I sort of have an anger hangover, I am upset with my reaction, and I am still sort of annoyed at the students even though I probably shouldn't be.
(They were telling me that a fat suit that I made was going to look bad, and it would be better to sew the padding into the costume, and I am 95% sure that it won't work due to trying it before. I was cranky, and hadn't eaten and had been working for twelve hours, and I couldn't articulate why it wouldn't work, and my feelings got hurt, and I said (sarcastically) "Well, I am sure you know more about sewing and costumes than I do", and then left to do measurements. When I came back they had left. )
I just really wish I had listened to what they were saying, and had them demonstrate it, so they could come to the conclusion about why it didn't work-- but sometimes, I just want my students to listen to what I say because I have 25 years of experience. But I also know that the students I have aren't seeing this as questioning me, they just want to understand and make things better!
I also want to retroactively apologize to my costume teacher, but she passed away last year.
Erica, I am so sorry for your loss.
Go flea! The all day, with a lecture and socializing at lunch and dinner interviews make me grumpy, but I love when they are over. I have one application out right now, so, yeah.
I'm going to argue for St. Johns, because I like their law librarian better than Brooklyn's. As Lee and I would say: O-Martin!
Sophi, you are human. Next time you see them, have a constructive conversation and it will be better
Thanks Suzi- I talked to the Department Administrator and she said the same thing. I used to do this all the time, and I really worked on being better (mostly making sure I eat and am hydrated), so these students have never seen this side of me!
I was noble and self-sacrificing and did some work this morning, while the medication is helping me feel human. Since I'm hoping to telework with this job when we relocate, anything that makes me seem like an exemplary employee (ha) helps.
I also had to reschedule tomorrow's massage, which I was really looking forward to.
I think the press is really missing a story with Hillary. She has finally made Republicans interested in women's health.
msbelle, Kohl's has some nice area rugs.

Hillary needs to talk about the importance of medical leave, sick days & healthcare right now if that is all the press is gonna focus on.
Who *hasn't* gone to work/continued parenting duties/etc. while they were sick? Sure, statistically there has to be someone who immediately dove under the covers and did nothing until they felt better -- leaving everyone else to pick up the slack -- but for real, I don't think I know a single person who hasn't worked while they were sick.
I just don't see how this is meant to reflect negatively on her. She did what we ALL do from time to time, because it's what we have to do.
