I am stuck in indecision. Someone decide for me. Which should I grade first: geometry homework, geometry quiz, or calculus quiz?
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yeah, we have a driveway (not all houses on our street do, so off-street parking is a perk), but not a garage big enough for our cars, so cleaning off snow is an ongoing battle.
YOU GUYS. The author from hell returned the article and -- for real -- answered 2 of the 4 questions. For the other 2, she replied (again) "this information is not needed." Obviously it is, or I wouldn't have asked for it. What the SHIT, lady, are YOU on our editorial staff? No? Then how the FUCK do you know whether it's needed?????
I am at my wit's end and emailed my boss and asked her what to do.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You should email her and say that you'll do the science from now on, since she's doing your job.

Geometry quiz.

Ahahaha! What an ass.
I am having a good day! Not sure why I'm not tired and cranky, but I am not. And I had lunch out with a couple of coworkers which was fun.

Good luck with winter and asshats, everybody!
I never know what to bring to a potluck. I am paralyzed with indecision.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Federal government closed at noon, so I'm home. Gary's work decided not to open today. It has just started snowing.

Thrive to spite them
My nephew came down and he was HYPER. The snow is too soft for sledding or snow man buidling. BUT the neighbor's kids came over and he's out playing in the snow.
I am tired, cranky, have a cough/cold and PMS and all I want to do is be snowed in alone with the internet. I'm doing the best I can to counter act that. But I also feel like I'm failing at being a good aunt because after a few hours of my nephew I want to hide. Although Mom and I have been "tag teaming" so she can get some time by herself.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am starting to suspect that the author from hell is trying to fudge some of the data because it's a bit spotty and WTH everyone does it and oh crud, your queries are bumping right up against her lack of actual data. (Seeing how data gets recycled in science was an eye-opener for me!)
Stay safe and warm, y'all.
Yes, this. I hope everyone can hunker down out of harm's way.

My answer is usually black bean and corn salad if I don't have a good idea. So easy, so delicious.

As a non-parent, a few hours is a lot!
