For the first time in nine months, I can't sleep for worrying about my job. I'm even thinking about looking at other jobs.

Damn you, lazy fucks who make me frustrated with my job. I love my job. I don't want to hate it because of stupid damn lazy fucks.
unravled:
Just imagine if they combined the two.

What did the lazy fucks do?
freakpirate:
Oh god... I wish I had thought of that. It would have been even more awesome.

I'm really having trouble thinking of a birthday present for my father that shows him exactly how much he means to me. I suppose I could just tell him, but we don't really talk in my family.
dogslife:
Does he like chocolates? If someone really loved me and didn't know how to tell me I'd get the message pretty quick if they gave me a box of gourmet chocolates.
twinkie:
oh god, you just reminded me, i need to get a present for my dad before sunday, too. EEEEEk.

unfortunately i never wear hats!!!! frown a trade would be fun, though!!! p.s. i keep starting to read your sample and then something at work comes up. i'm almost there, though!

Reason #4,523,680,405 that my students think I'm the coolest teacher at my school:

I told them they could use Chuck D as a modern philosopher, as long as the quotes they used were relevant to the subject they were researching.

cyborgs and popsicles coming, i promise, things'll quiet down around here soon.

I would never want to throw lil' Lappy off of anything. Years of unflagging service, and the only problems it's had have either been from old age (replaced the hard drive, dead battery, frayed power cord) or PEBCAD.

But it will still go into gentle retirement as a file server when my Macbook arrives next week. I love the little thing, but I really need to be able to get things done.

One of my students said to me today: "Oh my god, you don't listen to the radio? How do you know what songs to like?"

Thank you, La'Queshenita. You've blown my mind.

Well that's probably good of you then.
The name still amuses me greatly

freakpirate:
I'm constantly amused at the ridiculous names people give their children no matter where they live.
Rainbow and Shaniqua are just as foolish as far as I can tell.

Ooh... Mad Max would be good. My roommate did the Godfather trilogy once but there was no way I could sit that long.

freakpirate:
Oh god... did it ever. If I ever need to keep my kids out of organized crime I'm just going to show them that and ask them if they want to suck that badly for the rest of their lives.

I love technology. This morning I took pictures of myself with messy bed hair while discussing comic book illustrations with someone on the other side of the world. I've also discovered the best way to avoid late fees when you rent too many movies: just rip them onto the hard drive and watch them later. Now I'm going to take my computer into the kitchen...

I'm sure there's a Computer Rights Group formed somewhere to protect your poor old computer from those nasty things you're calling it.

I was telling this dude about plans for a community of women (my girlfriends and I ) to raise their children together without having to deal with husbands, and he called me a hippie, which was funny, because I never thought of myself as one.

In our prep week, today is what we've dubbed "Fun Day". We had speakers from the Minneapolis Gang Strike Force, the Bomb Squad, and the ATF. Then we wrote lists of things we liked about our coworkers, but that wasn't as fun as the other stuff.

Here is a list of things I learned from the Bomb Squad:

Today was the first day of the new school year. We had a district-wide conference in a church somewhere really far from our school. We had a motivational speaker who looked like a fat, sweaty gay Squiggy in an orange velour shirt, who motivated me only to make a scale model of Hannibal sacking Rome out of my handouts.

Motivational speaking is such a massive...

That sounds incredibly good. Two months you say... so if I got the recpie and started oh... now? Drunk by Christmas?

adjunct:
How about if you did distance learning at a place with semesters instead of quarters? I'm not sure if that'd work, but the residency requirement would only happen twice a year, not four times.

Lord help me, I love fried cheese. I just can't help myself. I love cheese of all kinds, even that of the cottage persuasion, but there's just something about that little bit of melty cheese that creeps over the edge of my morning omelet and fries on the pan. It makes me swoon.

Time to go take my vitamins and go to a funeral. Think...
