And a very happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] morenasangre, [livejournal.com profile] kiwitayro, and [livejournal.com profile] rainstorm13!

First day of classes here. I'm proctoring three classes, starting at 8:30. *whimper* Will be all zoomy today, so I probably won't be very attentive to LJ...

Reminder to self for tonight: Place Scholastic book club orders and Chadwick's reorders, listen to Cure Greatest Hits on walk, hang up Elayna's clean clothes and make her clean her room....

Off to first class!

Just took care of my second class of the day.... "Hi, Prof. M. isn't here today and won't be here Friday, this is your book, this is where to buy your book, this is your syllabus and homework assignment, come back Wednesday - any questions? No, Monday is Martin Luther King Day, you can come here but we won't be here. No, I don't know if you can use a graphing calculator; that varies by professor. Is it hard? Well, it's a sophomore-level class, if you've taken 111, 115, or 119, you should be cool." Shooed them away with a Tracey Ullman-style "Go home!" sans bathrobe.

Lingered in the class room for ten minutes to catch any latecomers.

Drew little hearts all over the board with multicolored chalk. :)

" I suspect that you're the object of more than a few greedy fantasies these days. Even people who are normally quite prudent may crave an extra piece of you, so just imagine what excesses that energy vampires might be prone to. Beware, therefore, of being manipulated and exploited. Try to monitor, as well, your own unconscious responses to all this grabby action. I'm afraid you may be secretly pleased that everyone seems to want you so badly, and as a result agree to be depleted. How about this compromise, Pisces: Allow three worthy and noble people -- no more -- to claim a larger dose of you than usual.

Every time you make a last-minute class schedule change, god kills a kitten.

Worked through my Morning Snack again. Dammit. Yes, [livejournal.com profile] murnkay, even with your reminder.

And that's thrice this week.

I need a godsdamned keeper, I tell you.

[livejournal.com profile] vidicon and [livejournal.com profile] bheansidhe got me out of the office for lunch! A two-hour lunch. I feel *very* naughty. However, my boss and cow-orkers aren't back from their lunch yet, and they left around the same tme. So I have officially Gotten Away With It.

Next on the agenda - more work!

A little bit of e-mail silliness about Atlanta. :)

Atlanta is composed mostly of one way streets. The only way to get out of downtown Atlanta is to turn around and start over when you reach Greenville, South Carolina.

All directions start with, "Go down Peachtree" and include the phrase, "When you see the Waffle House." Except that in Cobb County, all directions begin with, "Go to the Big Chicken."

Peachtree Street has no beginning and no end and is not to be confused with Peachtree Circle, Peachtree Place, Peachtree Lane, Peachtree Road, Peachtree Parkway, Peachtree Run, Peachtree Trace, Peachtree Ave, Peachtree Commons, Peachtree Battle, Peachtree Corners, New Peachtree, Old Peachtree, or Peachtree Industrial Boulevard.

Atlantans only know their way to work and their way home. If you ask anyone for directions they will always send you down Peachtree.

Atlantans do not believe in turn signals. You will never see a native signal at a stoplight, to change lanes, or to merge. Never!

Atlanta is home of Coca-Cola. That's all we drink here, so don't ask for any other soft drink unless it's made by Coca-Cola. And even then, it's still "Coke."

Gate A One at Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport is 32 miles away from the Main ticket Concourse, so wear sneakers & pack a lunch.
and the road planning... )

I had an idea at lunch today.

*waits for the wave of abject terror on the part of her friends to subside*

This Passover. April 16.

I want to have a Passover Seder. :) Lots of wine. Lots of talk about bondage. Anyone?

I want to just go home and crash.

But we have to go grocery shopping. We're out of bloody well everything. And I have to hang up Elayna's clean clothes. And stuff.

*wilt*

I want flowers and backrubs.

I am trying to decide whether to let my hair go back to its natural ash-blonde (dark blonde/light brown) or keep it auburn. It's auburn now because I tried dying it Bright Red, then my stylist covered that with Dark Brown, giving me a sort of Chocolate Cherry look that faded to auburn (pics viewable in my memories).... I love the auburn, but I'm not sure I want a *committment* to keep touching up my hair....
