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

she also does not want to apologize

Well, then fuck it. Those are just words, and IMO more offensive than less.

If you don't need her to apologize, and she doesn't want to apologize, tell the advisor to drop it--a false apology is worse than none at all, because it's perpetuating the falsehoods.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

le nub- I was in a somewhat similar situation- I fired a student worker (via email) because she stopped coming to work. She also worked for another area, and had been recommended to me. The person who recommended her made her come and verbally apologize to me, which was super awkward, because I am a) not sure she meant it and b) paralyzed with not caring.

For my birthday I bought an ebook of Lord of the Rings. I haven't really re-read it in years, and the only copies I can find are the falling-apart Ballantine paperbacks I stole from my oldest sister back in the 70s. They'd probably be worth something if I hadn't taped them together to keep reading them.

But now I have an electronic copy I can search and bookmark all the Dwarvish poetry without dog-earing pages etc. Though the maps are a bit tricky on my Nook's screen.

The better question might be who wouldn't want to go.

The better question might be who wouldn't want to go.

Indeed. I'd love to go, except I'm going to Spain the next week.

I'm trying to schedule a meeting with someone before I go to Spain, except the contract I'm hired under runs out on Feb 29, and I don't know when the next contract will start, and this guy wants to meet on Mar 2. I may just have to put it off until after I come back...

That is awesome, Suzi! It is so good that he has something positive to channel his energies into.
