I feel good. Today was super-slow, so I cleaned and rearranged my office. I've had this job for over two years, and I never got around to removing the detritus of the previous occupant. SO. It is now mine. The only thing I have left to do is clean the drawers.

RANT. RANT RANT. RANT. WHINE. RANT. SLEEP.

Okay, that's out of the way. I am tired and extremely cranky right now, but I want to focus on the positive. Like the bunch of Robin Hood (Men In Tights) gifs I just skimmed off the internet. And also, this example of a kickass Aunt May. It totally explains why 616 and 1610 are split into separate ( Read more... )

WORK! *WHINE* STOP BEING MEAN TO MEEEEEEEEEEE!

I had to get that out. *g* Since TurnItIn went batshit on our system (it was mixing up student identities sahddasjh;klsjdsaj NO) we switched to SafeAssign. Which has now gone batshit on our system. Thankfully, it's in significantly less frightening ways. It just won't work now. (sighs heavily) So ( Read more... )

Another "I LIVE DON'T LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONE" post lol. I have no idea where my will to babble went. Can I blame Holmsian fandom? I've been reading a lot of Holmes/Watson fics. Hm ( Read more... )

Hello, first day of the semester. Why are you already being mean to me? I've loved you and petted you and done everything exactly the right way. Yet my inbox has 63 messages complaining that they can't access their classes yet, the earliest dating from 6PM last night. Enrollment gets started at 8AM the day classes begin and finishes around 10AM. ( Read more... )

(faceplant) I want to edit my NaNo. Badly. Even though I've promised that I'll focus on prompts instead and let that simmer I will never be able to spot wonky characterization without distance! And those prompts won't write themselves! (1.1 rough drafts written!) D: Why do I fail so hard?

I've been inspired to watch the Free Hugs video again. It ( Read more... )

Remember yesterday's prediction? Well, it happened. In spades. I think I can feel my brain melting from crunching things into a database for six hours. Ow ow ow. And I'm still not done. You see, Kim who was supposed to show me what to do, lovely lovely Kim who is getting an eraser from me for winter because of this, didn't show up until 11. This ( Read more... )

Work. I hates it, Precious. (hunches creepily and pets NaNo)

Actually, work today wasn't too stressful. People are starting to e-mail and call me directly to get things done, which they're really not supposed to do, and we have a cartridge publisher being stupid ("What do you mean, the content isn't on our servers? It damn well is on our servers! ( Read more... )

It... does not feel like Day Three. I'm not sure how okay I am with it only being Day Three. (breathes)

Today's problems were... myriad. First, there was Work. Normally, work is nice and smooth, but today I got an assignment that had me wishing for Tylenol. I really don't like taking 'most anything in a pill format, so that should tell you how big ( Read more... )

WTF with the slow day, people? We're not even a month into the semester! Where are all my students panicking because they can't access a course they only thought they were enrolled in? The instructors who have forgotten that Blackboard only allows 5MB and smaller files, and who are subsequently shocked that people in a highly rural and low income ( Read more... )
