Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have a colleague who I shall refer to as TINO

Tech-support In Name Only?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Through me not paying attention and a shoddy public transportation system I left work at 6:30, and I am not going to get home until 9:45. Currently I am on the wrong bus and I am going to have wait for it to get to the end of the line, take a 20 minute break and then go back to the transfer station.

The status is NOT quo.

Tino appears to have forgotten that a school is about the students, not the adults. Tino needs to figure that shit out if he wants to work at a school.

It sounds like it was a rough day for several people. Virtual hugs or (for non-hugging types) understanding smiles.

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

Yesterday, at day 1 of a 2 day training, I humiliated a Tino (favorite quote -- "Just because your title has the word expert in it doesn't make it true") and today, I kept my mouth shut while my coworkers derailed a presentation that was incompetent.

I love my department members.

My favorite Tino quote from today: “I’m not some wounded deer.”

No really.

Because books.

“I’m not some wounded deer.”

Good god.

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

I am going to Austin in October for the Austin City Limit Music Festival. Sure it is 5 months away, but I am scheduling extended me time.

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

Yay, msbelle!

Boo various and sundry Tinos (and worse).
