"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

So I picked up the anthology for the writing workshop/course I've been teaching at UCLA from the printers. I dropped them off at 3:00 today and had to beg them to get them prepared in time so I can give them to students tomorrow.

My students kinda worked my last nerve on trying to turn things in late and we spent two hours this morning in a computer lab on campus finishing the book.

I'm grateful that the printers were able to rush it and it certainly isn't glamorous. It is almost certainly cheap enough -- I ended up paying $66 for the whole job including covers and a spiral binding. But they didn't copy it correctly (it's not duplexed front to back) and I'm irked by that. But I'm not gonna complain given how rushed we were.

Now I'm writing the student's their evaluations.

I have had a great time teaching but I can't wait for this course to be done.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good news about your father, Kat. I hope he picks the easiest option.

My CIO spells my name ITA. At first I thought she was shouting at me. Now I think she's probably just judging me. Hey, at least she noticed the capitalisation, and it does bother me less than iTA.

Guys, if you use Foundation or Diamont, buying the refill size is So Worth It. That'll hit yer 75 right there.

ION, this birthright citizen is NOT punching people in the face on the Internet for being wrongheaded and sanctimonious fuckwits.

What is even happening?

At this point, you can punch them -- that is if you're talking about my people. I've never been so disappointed in my whole life.
