That is EXACTLY the problem. I've been teaching at the college level for way too long now, and even the best intentioned college students just cannot be trusted to keep away from each other. Toddlers and college students, the two populations most likely to have their tongues in places they probably should not.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Seriously.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
We had a staff Zoom call/meeting today (it's a weekly thing) and a few people had kids heading off to college, either living on campus or in a nearby apartment. Some of them are halfway expecting the kids to be sent home; one joked that if that happened, they'd be living in the garage for a two-week quarantine.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I added some macaroni to my leftovers and I left the box sitting by the instant pot. Just now I knocked it over, because I am a knocker over of stuff, and as I grabbed it I said out loud "No!" and once I set it down upright on the counter, a stern "That is not okay".
So, hurricanes thinking about heading towards the gulf coast and making trouble: No! That is not okay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I also am a knocker over of stuff, and a talker to stuff.

I talk to everything. Cats, furniture, inanimate objects, software I'm using, content repositories ...

Hah, t, wanna come tell my puppy that, too?? He's a barking mess and so far every method I've tried has failed. Spraying with with water he thought was a fun game. Adding vinegar or lemon juice to it was tasty fun! The bitter apple I bought to stop him chewing on things? Yummy! Shaking a jar full of coins? Quick, bark more! Ignoring him until he's quiet? Quick, mom can't hear me so let me climb out of this pen and come find her and help her! Oy. We did go to the puppy play place today and he finally by the end of the half hour played for a while, which I'm hoping wore him out some. I just want to naaaaaap.

Oh, meara, you got yourself a cute little bundle of trouble and smarts, don't you? In my experience, those little devils don't listen to me at all. But good luck!
Glad to know I am not the only one occasionally lecturing inanimate objects.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another work week done. Not that the weekends around here are all that exciting nowadays.
