Undergoing livejournal hiatus. It may last through the middle of July, depending on net access during my upcoming summer travels and on the craziness of the next couple of weeks while I get the last of this quarter's school stuff taken care of.
This has been the week of belated comebacks.
Long time family friend: You should get out more Kat. Your social life is pathetic.
What I said: You're probably right.
What I wish I'd said: When you find a way for me to get out more without getting more migraines, I'll do as you suggest; until then, keep your shoulds to yourself.
Me: I've lost three weeks this term to migraines. May I have a four day extension on the term paper if I have a draft to you by the original deadline?
Professor: All health-related extensions must be processed through the distance ed department. You'll need to provide evidence to support of your claim.
What I said: Oh.
What I wish I'd said: D'oh! How very silly of me to forget that in Red Tape Land, all students with sad stories are procrastinating liars.
Disability Services Coordinator: In the future, you need to contact me AT THE BEGINNING of the term so we don't end up doing this last minute again.
What I said: I understand.
What I wish I'd said: Right, because obviously if I'd done that this term, we could have gotten a Crystal Ball Forecast and known in advance what my fundamentally unpredictable disability was going to do.
Why is it that I'm wittier after the fact?
