Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 31 January 2009

9 lbs down, head is fucked and i think this job instability has brought on a serious bout of i-don’t-give-a-shits.
currently drinking coke zero and coconut rum, because it’s easier than screaming and throwing shit.
i need a new job, i’ll get a new job, but how the hell do i motivate myself to keep [...]

An Open Letter To Our Administration

Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 29 January 2009

Dear Heads of the Writing Department,
On my drive in this morning I couldn’t help but feel anxious and also a bit excited; today was the big day, the day you all told us in your infinite wisdom what the fuck was up with our job security (or lack thereof).  I anticipated the angst-filled room, knowing [...]

Please Wait, Now Loading….

*Sigh.*
So… I’m on the other side of the reformatting.
All of that went well (I think?), and I was super-stellar-smart to put all my application install files in one folder. By the time things were reimaged I was all set to start putting on my fav programs. Take that, idiot computer. I was ready for you.
Only [...]

Snow Days and Sick Days

Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 28 January 2009

I’ve been taking the snow days, hubby’s been taking the sick days.
J’s been sick/achy/unwell for the past three days, today he’s felt better but I was worried about him going back to work because a) the driveway was a SHEET of ice and I knew that would not begin a safe day b) I didn’t [...]

Generic Quirky Post Title Here

Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 25 January 2009

This weekend has involved a lot of useless activities and not many useful ones.
Have I finished changing over my syllabus or prepping for classes? Nope.
But I have sold a bed and a mini-fridge via Craigslist.
I haven’t commented on blogs but I have earned my WoW character the title “Elder” and gotten her up to 80.
*sigh*
So [...]

“My grandparents didn’t take any pills, and they were fine. Just buck up and get over it. Stop being such a fucking pansy.”

Wow.
Really?
Because your grandparents (aka the elder generation) are the fucking picture of perfection in both mind and body?
Were they [...]

Change Of Attitude

Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 21 January 2009

My morning was no better than my night last night when I posted that…
I was grumpy already, before I even left the bed. My shower was too cold. My hair was too floppy. I missed J. before I was even out the door. The drivers on the way into work were fucking INSANE (I actually [...]

*grit teeth*

edge of a headache
can’t finish a movie because of loud laundry
haven’t really paid attention to what i’m doing tomorrow….
thinking of using example in book as free-write, then doing the pathos/ethos discussion of commercial, then sharing ideas of where we see them at play in our world.
that will have to do, because i just don’t fucking [...]

Welcome, Mister President.

Posted by: Professor Anonymous on: 20 January 2009

I’m watching the Inauguration Ceremony on tv right now and it’s getting closer and closer to the final moments of swear-in.
I’m so full of hope, so excited for what’s going to start today and continue for the next four years. I’m hopeful for the good that can come to our nation, for the changes the [...]

Credit Where Credit Is Due.

Haven’t accomplished much of anything, though the first blog prompt is up. Go me.
I have, however, eaten lunch and it was 230 cals of deliciousness. May I introduce you to Noodle Bowls.
Specifically today I had the Miso Soup, and my god it was excellent. The caloric count was just for this Miso bowl, the peanut [...]
