msbelle, I'm so sorry. Cancer sucks donkey balls.

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Can I say I'm really upset about the shooting in Umpqua Community College?! He shot a writing teacher in the head in front of her classroom. That's one of my irrational fears right there, being killed by one of my students.
Ugh
And then there's the fact that it's just such a small school, small town, and a community college and it is just wrong.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's terrible, Burrell! Yeah, so much wrong.

Jesus, I hadn't heard details, just that there was a shooting. I don't blame you for being freaked out!

I realize there are way more dangerous jobs out there, but the number of college professors I know that have been attacked by students is 》0
Okay, letting it go. Now on to wondering where my daughter is. She's supposed to get out of class about now. I'm waiting for her at the school.

I'm sorry, msbelle. Fuck cancer indeed.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
And why did I just go check Mac's grades?!??! I am not supposed to check. I get an email every Friday. I have told him that if I get the email that he is failing anything tomorrow, even though I am out of town, he will lose computer and phone at the grand parents' and he is to not fight because those are the rules. He has a 51 in math and 2 classes in the high 70s that if there are any I posted low grades could get pulled down. FUCK!!!!

Oh crud msbelle. Why you gotta, mac?
Oh PS, Franny is home. Her class got out late. Now I have to turn back around and go to the school again, for a meeting.

msbelle, I'm sorry about your friend and mac's grades. It sucks when a whole bunch of things go wrong all at once.

not your mom's socks.
I'm so sorry msbelle. Best wishes to your friend. Hugs for you. Hope Mac knows how hard you care about him.
