Just finished giving my students their final exam. One girl was really sick, and fell asleep while taking it.
See, Vera? Dress yourself up; you get taken out somewhere fun.

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Our wings are not tired.
Today does indeed suck and can fuck itself. I am really sorry to hear about the job, Jilli. I admit the FIRST thing I thought when I read your post was "more time to champion the awesome book!" Still, though, I've been laid off 5 times and it sucked hard every time.
And today, on a personal note, has sucked too. I have my first exam tomorrow, and have a puppy who is incredibly fearful of everything and also apparently has a UTI. Both conditions are worrisome, and have been a huge distraction to my studies. Anyway, I walked into the office today, holding her (because she won't budge on a leash anywhere new) and as soon as the vet tech walked into the waiting room, Cayenne crapped and peed all over me.
Is this what motherhood feels like?
(And yep, she's registered for dog classes, but they don't start until late May.) I've contacted some dog professionals whom the vet recommended, but I have to get through these exams.

At least one undergrad at my university has moved into a hotel for the past few weeks, to escape the swine flu in the dorms.

Add barfing into your hair and yeah, pretty much.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oh, damn - Jilli, I'm so sorry. STUPID universe.
Sending you much job-ma. And virtual cupcakes.

This week really does suck--I just found out that my friend Tami (whom some of you met at the Chicago F2F prom night) was laid off yesterday. At least Discover gave her a month/year for benefits and she's not officially out of a job until July 1st. Oh, and they're going to pay for 65 percent of her COBRA.
