TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

omg POWER POINT HATE

Is it shared by everyone?

One of our profs uses all these weird non-standardized abbreviations on hers - ones that she just makes up! Sometimes I can't keep up with her, so I have to sit there and try to figure out what the hell they are...

I want to assess remy's perfect pitch right now. Is it truly perfect? (apparently not) If not, how close to perfect is it?

my pitch was terrible. but my mom played was a professional cellist, w. perfect pitch, etc., and i sort of figured it was the kind of thing that anybody could learn, given enough exposure.

tza - lots of children with williams syndrome have perfect pitch

and yeah, powerpoint is a terrible invention used by lazy teachers IMHO

ohhh man... i failed SO MANY classes at uni... that's why it took 6 freakin years to get a stupid english lit degree! basically i am lazy and i procrastinate and i can't do shit i'm not interested in. also, i had basically no confidence in my intellect the whole time, and always assumed i was going to fail so i would often to choose to fail with 'dignity' by just not doing the work/showing up to class, rather than the embarrassment of actually trying and still failing. ridiculous, i know.

i really wish i didn't ahve to waste time making this presentation bt i know this prof will be impressed by pretty visuals and since he has no CLUE about my content i might as well give it a shot

rly sucks, the prof who has already seen the proposal for this part of my project told me not to change a thing, but sadly he had to go to a meeting in l.a. and won't be there to see me kick ass :(

okay, A. just found a British journal article about palliative care for me that indicates that "semi-frozen tonic water and gin" may be given to dying patients as a comfort measure for oral discomfort.

LOL I LOVE TEH BRITISHERS

Yay drunk!

I have never had to make a PowerPoint anything in my life. I am grateful.

ok if i ever have a terminal illness i am moving to britishes land!

hey guess what, I'm still at work

guess, what, I've been writing this care plan for over 11 hours almost nonstop

Please give me the gin and tonic slush now and let me die in peace.

PS DAN, PLEASE GO HOME NOW, SOMEONE NEEDS TO REST

guess what this is the ugliest power point i've ever done but i think i am quitting for tonight and gonna watch some tv! huzzah!

good luck, dan & sara :(

Please give me the gin and tonic slush now and let me die in peace.

i'm gonna start using this for times of exasperation.

I think I want it engraved on my tombstone.

this is going to be my facebook status for the next 24 hours.

yay I get to go home now

YAY DAN!!!!

I think I'm up to my the final section of my care plan, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Except that I have to repeat this nonsense in two weeks.

Anyway, gin and tonic death slushes for everyone!!!

Okay, how sick is it that I'm so tired that I'm now kind of enjoying how exhausted I am?

HELLO EXHAUSTION-INDUCED EUPHORIA

yay home, now bed

Yay done, submitted the freaking thing!

Yay for sleep! I will get to have some, too. SO EXCITED

wow dan you get home fast.

yay sara!

YAY all!

Not surprised at all re: G&T death slushies of Britain, this is totally something I could see Dr W!ld, age 93 handing out and in fact can already imagine the 1950s BBC English describing the need for such a thing. 'Partially frozen' also U&K because Britishes did not discover drink ice until about 1992.

Sara, my mom is like an independent notionally but she sucks up GOP talking points and yesterday sounded like she was smoking the freeper crack. I think it's time to hit her with the "I'm ashamed to hear this coming out of you" intergenerational flipback.

Also fax her a g&t slush first.

"G&T death slushies of Britain" would be a good band name, as well as an enjoyable product.

suzy, I want to hear what your mother says if you tell her you're ashamed of her!!! She sounds entertaining.

too bad that didn't make it into the john justen new name poll

And it would have been so perfect, too. ;_;

I failed a bunch of lol college classes by getting hit in the head by a car. I have gotten (with the exception of a B from University of Minnesota professor Lary May who is a FUCK and fills me with distaste for the academic study of american studies) only A's and F's and carefully chosen Pass/fails in my long long college career. PS one of these days i should probably write my final thesis o_O

HI DERE LARY MAY I STILL HOLD GRUDGE

hey hey i been drinking wooooo

"getting hit in the head by a car?"

Okay, more pieces of the medical history snap into place. Your chart must make for some crazy reading.

Uh, but, you know, glad you're okay and everything!

(sorry, I'm kind of out of it, but am still sitting here in case a nursing school friend needs a late night pep talk)

I feel like I want to hear the story behind the Lary May thing, too.

where is tombot i feel that together we could focus a beam of perfect hate on lary may that would make his nudge nudge whee whee i am one of you kangol burst into flames

xpost: you know this story ms sara dominos pizza truck concussion circadian rhythms blah blah blah

Mr. Justen, I do NOT know this story. I am sorry to inform you of this, but I fear your memory may be failing you at this early age.

Please tell the story at the earliest opportunity, before the desperate need for gin and tonic death slush hits you.

And while I'm prying, someday I want to read that NaNoWriMo novel you wrote in its entirety.

everybody who ever went to college knows the lary may story. you take the professor who gave you one letter grade lower than you expected or thought you deserved in the class, citing some really incredibly stupid officious reason, and you replace that prof's name with lary may

No, I meant I don't know the being hit by a pizza truck story (or whatever...?).

I don't think I ever had a prof like that, tbh, but I had plenty of other weird profs (my own fault for taking freaking organic chemistry, I suppose). The profs I have now are great on the teaching, horrible on the realistic scheduling expectations thing.

heh, depression era AMST class, i focused on music (shock) he was a film dude, at one point we were having a lecture disussion about marlene dietrichs choice to wear masculine suits, i offered up the idea that it was related to the replacement of economic power during the time period, he asked me smugly what feminist textbook i had read that in, and i tole him to fuck off and walked out of the class. went into the final with 100% point total, final was worth 20% of the grade, left with an 80% B. fuck that guy.

xzpost hahaha but i actually have proof, and got my protest bounced because he was off campus and i stopped caring. still tombot OTM in general

WAIT TOMBOT WHY YOU STILL AWAKE

I MEAN AWESOME AND I HOPE THAT YOU ARE DRUNK BROTHERMAN BUT I DONT HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW AND YOU ARE DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM AND TERRORISTS OR SOMETHING SO ???

Well, everyone who has ever met you knows that you are a bearded Gloria Steinem.

I'm too slow on the XP tonight.

I'm practically always awake until 3am EST, I work swing shift.

I will sleep better knowing that Tom is protecting us. At least until 2 a.m. central time.

tom the fact that i fucked up my east coast visit timing and thus will not manage crush kill destroy drinking with you is ultra :( :( :(

also dan

i r a terrible failure but i will probably be drunk enough that this will be but a distant memory
