I thought it was backrubs for the girls and blowjobs for the guys... oh wait, that's how to keep from getting kicked off the island.

Vw, did you find your legal answer? Its a good question but hard to answer without more details.

GC, babycenter saved me after my first miscarriage, but I can't read anything there now. The stupid drives me crazy. I do have a few LJ communities and blogs that I like.

I just misspelled Mary Leakey in a Wikipedia search and the first "oh is this what you meant?" search result was Lord Voldemort. hmm OK.

I have a playdate with my yoga instructor and her 2 year old daughter tomorrow. I'm very excited. She's very nice. I hope our kids get along.

Jumping to share: "It's all fun and games until someone gets a dick in the eye."

Now back to your normally scheduled chatting....

Dear Landlady,
There is a reason Drew and I wanted to pay a little more to hire a good contractor. That trellis thing the cheap guy you hired is adding to our back yard is fugly. Also uneven. I can't grow ivy fast enough to cover it.

Dear Admin,
I've worked here for two years. Why the hell are you making me submit a cover letter and resume for an ancillary, part-time position? Seriously?

Dear Students,
I really don't want to read and grade all of your creative Odyssey assignments. Let's just pretend that I did that already, okay?

Dear Diversity Committee,
Next time you want to put the faculty in the spotlight for incredibly personal questions about religion, family, sexuality, et al, a little notice would be nice.

Dear Self,
Your desk makes the baby Monk cry. Clean it.

.....

It's been a long day. In case you can't tell.

Coffee:

I didn't. Should I e-mail you more details?

Er, that sounds sucktastic. What did they do???

I discovered that even though I futzed around a bit and didn't get going quite as early as planned, when I'm not looking at the clock thinking "I have to get my bus now", I keep working a lot later (I usually get in a groove in the late afternoon anyway, but then if I look up and think it's time to go home, I stop....but if I'm already home, not as much). So that's good to know...though bad is when I futz around all day COUNTING on a late-afternoon motivation spurt. (I did not do that today, but have in the past)

He said he wanted to bring one to me but his wife told him it was too weird. I was like I WANT IT!!!! CAUSE I TOTALLY DO!

I think it is too weird. And I think that YOU are too weird. So CLEARLY this is the right thing to do.
