Lesbian Attacked in Alleged Nebraska Hate Crime... →

The past 30 minutes online with Comcast have been the most frustrating, idiotic, and enraging I’ve had with a customer service department all because the individual I spoke with had little to no understanding of the English language. I’m not a proponent of English only legislation by any means, but if you are going to be a customer service rep, it might be a good idea if you are...

A Sunday Evening Chat
Brain: “Annie, dear, you should be doing some work right now. You’ll feel better later.”
Me: “Eff you, brain, there are Olympics on TV.”
Brain: “Okay, then maybe you could exercise while watching them. You’ll feel better later.”

A very large part of me hopes Kenneth Branagh forgets one of his lines during the Opening Ceremonies. He may be a good actor (I suppose), but his smugness bothers me to no end.

As excited as I am for this conference I’m attending this weekend, it sure would’ve been nice to get some extra sleep in, too. Here’s to hoping I don’t fall asleep driving up to Ogden this morning. :P

Last Day Ambivalence

Granted, it will be nice to have a few days relatively kid free and to really take the time to get the classroom ready for next year. And it’s worth having some free time to prepare for the onslaught of work this new grad school adventure will provide. Does Annie need some...
