I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

they got word that one of their major, long term supporters was no longer going to be able to continue the multi-million dollar annual contributions due to the extreme tanking of the economy

Ah, ok. That makes sense. Not sure that pissing off their supporters is gonna solve the cash flow problem, but at least I know what's behind it now. Thanks, WindSparrow.

ETA:

Ask them if they have kosher cheesecake.

Oh, if only I hadn't already mailed my $35 membership back to them, I'd totally write this on the memo line.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Having a PhD means you know a lot about something. It doesn't mean you have enough common sense to come in out of the rain.

If you can publish, you can write your own damn CV.

We cut these folks a ton of slack, but they have to pay their taxes, get their driver's license renewed, and learn to pump their gas. I will do a whole lot to help someone. I clear jammed printers and all that. But your CV is your own personal shit.

Christmas pagent rehearsal = ring of hell. I do not know how teachers do it.

My SIL directed her church pageant this year. It was so much better than I expected.

ION, I'll guess I'll be dark for the next few days as my sister decided to inform me last night that they would pick me up at the airport and drive straight to Vermont, land of no internet. Good thing I hadn't planned on shopping, resting after traveling, or, you know, communicating with anyone on the ground.

ETA: I don't think obsolete means what those people think it means.

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

Okay, I can check nurse cookies off the list. Now I just have to remember to take them with me Thursday night.

Oh my phone will probably work, I just didn't bring a charger with me since I only planned to use it for pick ups and drop offs.

I more annoyed with the thought that somehow getting off a plane and then driving 4 hours didn't merit more consideration than a phone call the night before.

I wasn't asking for that reason, missy!

I can see why you're annoyed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My adorable niece posted this on FB: " since tomorrow's my birthday I'll finally be eligible for the TV show '16 and Pregnant'! dreams really do come true!!!!!!......#sarcasm."

Love her.
