You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

( continues...) problems get worked out.

Awkward post break. Feel like I should edit and add something else.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, flea. That does not sound good. I hope someone has some kind of plan and things work out OK this weekend.

And I'm sorry you're in such a tough spot, Scrappy. I have nothing but good thoughts for you. But I wonder if any of our teachers would have any advice?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

As is so often the case, I'm reminded why I would not be good at a particular career. Salesperson, waiter...teacher. Because I assume saying "No, fuck YOU, you entitled little shit," is not generally a recommended strategy.

Our wings are not tired.

With ya, Dana. I can be the sweetest person in the world, but I have my mirror moments. If you are nasty to me it is right back at ya. When I first left high school I was a waitress for 2 weeks and knew I did not have the temperment. Working with computers is much better. I do customer support all day, but I have a hold button, and they can't see my facial expressions or hand gestures.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Note to self: Mail Scrappy a bullwhip, and an Indiana Jones hat. Purely for effect, of course. Learn to snap that puppy and they'll pay attention, I betcha.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Oh, Scrappy, that is a really rough day. I hope you have a lovely weekend to make up for it. And to recharge for next week, when they will hopefully behave like better humans.

I worked briefly in retail and just no. I couldn't manage a classroom of kids, I couldn't manage ONE kid. I have anormous respect for anyone who can and anyone brave and strong enough to try. Teachers are the toughest people out there.

Husband was originally on a flight home leaving 7:10 and arriving at 9 something. He got onto an earlier flight leaving at 3:10, which was then delayed a good two hours and is now arriving at almost 8.

However, his original flight is now estimated to arrive at 12:30 AM, so he's still ahead of the game.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Scrappy, I'm so sorry you had such a rough time with that class. Are you going to have them again next week? Are you a long-term sub or filling in for whoever is out on any given day? Does this class have a regular teacher you could talk to? If so, she or he might be able to give you some good advice.
