Yay, job!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Yay Consuela!
The ones who are good at school stuff will figure out tricks and methods for how to get the right answers, but never actually learn anything
Look, when in doubt X = 8, and you can't convince me otherwise. It worked most of the time! Unlike my attempts to do algebra.

Yay, congratulations, Consuela!
Shouldn't there be a grace period on unpleasant meetings when you're in a new position?
Having a grace period where people aren't allowed to flip out like mammals would be a delight.
I have one more quick meeting and then I need lunch. Make food here, or go pick up Thai?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm having some leftover Thai right now aifg

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Congrats, Consuela!

I'll get Thai for lunch and cook dinner myself. Compromise!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Consuela!!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Consuela, that's fantastic! Congrats!
Burrell, I have no advice on the math tracking, but if F being in the "normal" track at a gifted school is going to cause issues down the road for college (acceptance), then we collectively need to rethink what the hell we are doing to our children via the educational system. Challenging them is great; demoralizing them? NSM.
There were no honors courses in grade school for me (K-8). I tested into honors math, English, science, and history for high school. Math was the only subject that made me cry, and I dropped the honors designation for senior year, and was infinitely happier for it. YFMV (Your F May Vary.)
Hooray, shrift! Multiple surfaces to slounge upon. We need pictures of your swanky apartment.
Thai is always the better choice. I had ginger-basil chicken with coconut rice the other night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Congrats, Consuela!!
