OPEN BAR: it rubs the lotion on the skin or it gets the hose again

[East Coast Hustle]

On the other hand, the 17th...

You ever see movies, where there's a corporate heavy who shows up and causes all manner of trouble?

That's me, a week from Monday. I am going to Ohio to deliver threats of Doom to the manufacturer of the jet mill that's been causing us so much trouble.  And while I know that I will be shot by the hero or eaten by an alien before it's all over, I shall enjoy my status as The Villain until that occurs.

Correction:  Hannover, MA, not Ohio.  Easy mistake, anyone could have done it. 

Waitaminute, you're gonna be WHERE? 

Call with schedule. 

Flying out on the 16th or 17th, probably the 17th.  I expect the business end of the trip will take 2-3 days, and I'm gonna tack some vacation on the end, will probably be in town until the 22nd or 23rd.

I have no idea where I'm flying in, but I'll be flying back out of TF Green.

March or April? Because I'll be back in Maine by then if it's April.

March, unfortunately.

I have a feeling today is going to be a shit day in terms of getting homework done. Kids are gone but the housemates seem to think weekends are open season for talking to me.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

On the plus side, I love getting Facebook Discordians all wound up and then blocking them.

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Ooooh apparently if you block someone, even just for a minute, it erases all their posts in your thread. There's no WAY I'll use this knowledge to fuck with people.

Something to do with education? Text is too small for me to read

Congrats anyway, there's a star on it - I'm guessing it's something good?

Awww... as a condolence, there also will be tons of weaboo, otaku and hikikomori around to torment.

There are weaboo out there who think they're better than their kindred and show it by being an ass to everyone in a costume (AKA "Costume Nazis"). You're bound to find a few of them around if you look. They are free game and a bit more challenging than the usual shut-in as they like to think they are "big dogs".

And for the usual shut-in? Pick a few Anime that aren't on adult swim and claim they're your favorites if they don't leave you alone. Bonus points: pick a few hentai like "Sailor and the 7 Ballz" and use those as your "favorites". See how long it takes them to notice you are talking about porn.

Conventions are fun.

Bah, I've given in.  Applying to be a cover teacher.  The (huge) local school has in-house cover staff, and the job involves no tedious lesson planning or out-of-school hours.  Pays significantly less than an actual teacher, too, but enough to cover my living expenses without involving ridiculous hours that would make my degree impossible.

[Cain]

Heh.  Even when I think I do terrible, I'm doing OK.

I was dreading my last paper.  It was a shambolic mess of too complex an area of study with not enough space and a lack of time and insufficient data, too dissimilar case studies and an unsure theoretical basis for me to have much confidence in it.  I mean, it was academically sound, in the sense it followed the conventions one should, was all sourced correctly and so on, but it was still pretty awful.

Got 75%.  Which, knowing the insane score weighting we suffer under, is probably closer to 90% or something.
