I had one class come in to work on the computers, but besides that I had one or two T.A.'s every period who just did their own thing.
The last period I ended up chatting with the T.A.'s about spiders for thirty minutes?
It was great!
Yeah library subs never really do much. Like we all have library paraprofessionals and such who actually know what to do they just need a certified teacher in the room by law so when a librarian needs a sub it is always a cushy job for that sub since everything runs itself.
My sub plans are pretty laughable and basically just say, stay out of these other people’s way and chill out all day while getting paid.
One of the managers at work found it funny how much I was smiling last night. Mate, it's the last shift before my annual leave, any time nobody's looking I'm dancing around this place. 10 days of peace from the music that's played all night long in the store despite it being closed. 10 days without subtly sexist remarks because they've never had women on the night shift before. 10 days of actually getting to sleep next to my partner. Yey!
I might have listened to the song once sometime last year? On the other hand, it could easily have been over a decade. Still, I recognized Trapt's Headstrong instantly. I am so grateful my brain stored that information.

I'll drop this here because the conversations about it happened at work
I had about 3 separate conversations yesterday about the length of my hair, and people are always so curious to know how long it's been growing. I don't really store that information, so I had to cross-reference. I knew I had shaved my head sometime in 2014; I knew it was just before October of that year; and I knew the reason - a childhood cancer event held on the national mall.
Looked it up this morning: CureFest 2014, a two-day event over September 20th (meet-up, vigil), and 21st (organized walk, festival). Exactly 3 years on; how weird is that?
Can any UKers explain this for me: "Anglican church, of the Catholic tradition, serving the Church of England Parish"
How can a church be all of those??
Thank you.
@Liiya In that sense catholic is probably being used in the sense of universal rather than as part of Pope Francis's deal. It's part of the Nicene creed and is an old usage of the word. I know US Methodists include it in their version as well and young DA asked very similar questions once upon a time.

This is why I keep my ringtone to an inocuance sound that is impossible to miss, like my current ducks quacking. It keeps me from telling everyone I have terrible taste in music, and no one is upset when my phone does ring.
Edit: I've also used cawing crows, but that sound gets on some people's nerves in a really bad way

My ringtone is my favourite bird call, the purple crested turaco. I changed it to that because I never recognised the default tone so didn't notice it ringing and would miss all my calls. Now I have the same problem in reverse, where I always notice it but it just makes me go "Ooh, turaco!" and start looking around for the bird.
I just had to explain to someone at the deli how to make a goddamn sandwich. I said 5 times "I want it heated with the cheese melted."
I kept saying it because he kept not heating the chicken and cheese which is typically the first step.
He started putting condiments on and I said again "I don't want the condiments heated, just the chicken and cheese."
So he takes like 5 minutes to put ketchup and mayo and salt and pepper on the top part of the bread. I'm thinking this is unorthodox but okay. He's just gonna heat the bottom part.
Then he just starts wrapping it up! I'm like dude I said five times I wanted it heated!
How do you work at a deli and not understand basic sandwichmaking?
I hate being that guy that gets pissy at a food place but it took him 20 minutes to make the simplest sandwich in the known universe despite my incessant handholding.
You know, I've had management pegged all wrong this whole time. They're actually super smart uber geniuses and I never realized.
Their solution to the big lot of returns has been to pull off about 50 meters of wire off of each and the re-wrap the bobbins to ship back out again, still on the rusty reels.
Surely there is nothing that can go wrong with this immaculate plan.
- The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (2017, colorized)
Exactly! I had to literally explain this to the guy and he had to half-remake the sandwich.
Now I'm 20 minutes late back to work and don't have time to eat it before my meeting in 10 minutes. Yay! I try not to get bent out of shape over stupid shit like this but I was really annoyed. I do not like having my limited free time wasted in this way.

Basically that it refers to all the Christians anywhere when they say catholic like that.

Right. That's actually where the unofficial name for the Catholic Church comes from, it as the church of all Christians. Until the east/west schism anyway at which point there was now the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Catholic Church, later things got crazier. Catholic is from the Greek word meaning universal.
He told all three of us that if something like that happens again, where upper management overrules us on not loading up an obviously fucked trailer, for us to give him a call and get him to come out there personally to look at it.
Except the ones who get out of church a half hour earlier and so by the time you get to the Pizza Hut buffet all the pepperoni is gone, Baptists.
Can confirm from attending my grandparent's Baptist church during the summers; motherfuckers love them some pepperoni.

oh hey, i get my office back. i've got that working for me at least. I think the Boston job will be a no go. I had high hopes but I haven't heard anything and they said I would hear something this week. Granted, I've received a job offer 2 months after an interview but I think that this will not be the case. Also, I'm hopeful that I would have find a job in that ensuing time frame. Perhaps that's optimistic considering my plummeting job offer batting average but I maintain hope. Just had a phone interview with a small new space company out of Austin and on Monday I will finally meet the hiring manager and chief engineer for the california subsea company. They're actually flying out to Houston to meet me. This leads me to believe that I am actually their only or most greatly preferred candidate at this point. Which is great news, and I'd probably love it there (aside from scary potential of being on the road/at sea constantly).

I thought it was the opposite. Gizmo is a child, Gremlins are the adult stage.
Gizmo is Peter Pan, with the dark twist that he's literally murdering adulthood.

Are they just adding an extra syllable to the actual pronunciation, or going full Inglorious Basterds on it?
