You should e-mail back and tell her that it sucks to be her.
They're doing it backwards; walking up the down slide.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Every once in a while I will throw what appears to the clerk to be random amounts of change, to get it to 25, 50 or 75 cents on the dollar.
You'd think I invented fire from some of their responses.

Oy. An ultra-Orthodox newspaper in Israel published a photo of the new Cabinet, but photoshopped it to remove the women. (From what I know, standard practice in those papers is putting a black box over any women that can't be cropped out, because they think that it's a violation of women's modesty to print pictures of them. But photoshopping to make it look like they weren't there in the first place is new.) [link]

I once totally astonished a clerk by giving him a twenty and two singles when the total was $17.

Now tagless for your comfort.
What she actually wants to use is a graphing calculator.
DH thinks they should be outlawed.

Exactly, Hil. It's like seeing a jet of little cartoon steam come out of their heads.

Wow, that link to the Israeli cabinet photo doctoring. Wow.
They even had to change heads on bodies to do it.

I think that graphing calculators can be great teaching tools. If I had the time to prepare a lot of my own material, I would be teaching this class with graphing calculators. However, I'm going by the curriculum set by the department, which means no calculators. I would love to put together a calculus course that did use calculators, but that would require teaching it entirely differently, and I don't have the time or the authority to make that many changes in the curriculum.

No, every head kept its same body. They just took the guy second from the right and the one second from the left in the front row and moved them over, shrunk them down to be the right height to replace the women, and then removed the guy behind the guy on the left and the three men to the right of and behind the guy on the right, and then moved over the two men on the far right to cover up the gap from moving that guy over.

Wait, you're right! They didn't move over the guy on the far left, they took his head and put it on the body of the guy next to him, so that body ends up in the picture twice, once in the right position with the wrong head, and once shrunk down to cover the woman in the tan jacket, with the right head.
