Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You must have the most interesting expense reports, brenda.

My undergrad psych prof devoted a whole lecture to Why This Class is Not Graded on a Curve (engineering classes generally were, because averages of 35 were not uncommon).

We had that in chem classes too, which just annoyed me. What's the point?? Either the whole class is not learning what you expect (and you should go back and re-teach it) or you're writing the rest ridiculously out of step with what's been taught. Either way it's a failure.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

There is not near enough natter in here to distract me from work. People, at this rate, I will have to do expense reports all day. NO ONE WANTS THAT.

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

Sorry, I was hanging out on a different board asking a question about tripod screw lengths.

Well, if you know what to do about most tripod screws being 1/32" too long for my Sony NEX-5T camera, let me know.

Because books.

I'm shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

I'll make up for it by posting during my trip to Walgreens to get antacid.

I need some time to re-cover.

File them down?

That might work--I'm sure my boss has a grinder and could do it for me.
