Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

maybe question the reality of the coupon.

Ah, the collision of philosophy majors and the job market.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Around here, all the cash registers actually SCAN the coupon's barcode, so unless you've bothered to hack the grocery store database where the barcodes are kept and altered the price there... really, doesn't simply stealing credit card numbers sound a whole lot easier?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Okay, here's another math problem for you geniuses.

Given a microwave pasta meal that contains tiny pieces of pasta and tomato sauce, what is the chance that at least one piece of pasta will fall off the fork on its way to my mouth and hit three different places on me before it reaches the ground?

What color of clothing are you wearing? If you are wearing white or some other very light color, then the chances increase greatly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

100% is the correct answer!

Fortunately, I'm wearing purple and brown. Not a clothing disaster.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

does anyone else feel really disconnected right now?

Yes. Goodness, yes. For me, it's a change of work. New school, new kids, new coworkers. And, this school does not have staff meetings which on the one hand, yay! On the other, it's hard to get to know people. And, I used to co-teach a class, so I had that comraderie which is now gone. Also, I think the 45 mile (each way) commute is a big factor.

I subscribe to these same laws of physics.
