'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh smonster, yikes. That sounds like a shit ton of no fun. Also, addressing it with him before the eval might be good too because then you have time to verbally say it and hear his piece before you write it all down?
Also, I don't know if the change will be good, but it will be different. And sometimes different is necessary. I know that what we have now is NOT working (oh hi class of 53 students in my room!) and that some change is better than none.
Kat, I thought of you and the 50-some student classroom while driving from SFO yesterday --I was listening to the California Report on NPR and they were talking about education funding and class sizes and stuff. I can't imagine teaching or even being in a class that big! YAY for getting the grant, and I hope the people who leave are people you don't like anyway!
smonster, I hope your weekend gets better. :(
I went on linked in today and emailed a couple of old colleagues who are now at new companies, asking about how those are.
I am done. My deadline was Friday the 13th, but it's still before midnight on the West Coast, right, so that counts. I'm happy I didn't vomit on the keyboard or pass out.
Note: This, my first official copyediting job, was M/M. I laughed and laughed when my editor asked if that would be a problem, since I checked that off on the "Would you copyedit X genre?" on the list?
Um, no. No problem.
Going to bed now.
Yay on the grant Kat. Here's to changing what's not working!
Congrats on the grant, Kat!
Congrats, Kat!
Timelies all!
Congrats, Kat!
I post linkspam, mostly: I don't have access during the workday, so I can't have long discussions anymore.
added you Consuela
Congratulations, Kat!
Yesterday was a rough day what with the big final deadline and co-worker driving me batty, but counterbalanced by nummy Thai food (which I got a different co-worker and longtime friend to try—she loved it!), nummy 1940s style-porn on Supernatural, and a pleasant surprise hook up with an acquaintance-with-benefits I'd lost contact with a couple of years ago.
Also, I don't know if the change will be good, but it will be different. And sometimes different is necessary. I know that what we have now is NOT working (oh hi class of 53 students in my room!) and that some change is better than none.
Sounds like it!
I realized this morning what makes the cat pounce at 5am: the electric blanket being on. Oh well.
