If you really want to hurt your parents, and you don't have the nerve to be a homosexual, the least you can do is go into the arts. But do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites, standing for absolutely nothing. All they do is show you've been to college.

Daughter can read, memorize sequences of numbers, do basic addition, but can't write, color in the lines, use scissors or remember where her lunch table is even though it's been the same one for 2 weeks.  Hum.

Sounds like she's defective.  Return her to the store and ask for a refund.

It's also what happens when you give artists final say over any design. Did I ever tell you about the guys at jaguar who wanted claw marks on the engine?

Whats an engine without a few stress fissures  :D, did they make it go faster?

They/that made the engineers leave the room pretty fucking quickly.

So now we have this fucking big-ass bear on the mountain, eating fish out of the lake and garbage out of whatever the fuck it feels like eating it out of.  I am not going to tell him where the hell he can eat.  He's taken up residence in the picnic area, which we simply closed off and put a big sign on saying "Closed on account of bear".  The radio telescope geeks still have to go through the area, but they don't pay their fucking plumbing bills, so I hope it eats them all. 

So, 4 mountain lions and a bear the size of Chris Christie, that doesn't even seem to be fully grown yet.

Sounds like her motor skills and place memory isn't quite caught up to her other cognitive development yet. It's normal!

We had the first TA meeting of the term yesterday, and I'm actually starting to get stoked about teaching. It turns out that I'm teaching the lab for the first term of Principles, which is pretty exciting because for a lot of these students, this will be their first time in a wet lab at all! This means they don't have any bad habits yet, and I can be super strict about lab etiquette right off the bat so they don't turn into the lazy turdpiles who don't put their equipment away. I also get to show them microscopy, and we have water bears, which is always everybody's favorite! Later in the term, I am showing them how to purify their own DNA.

Awesome! In my first year of labs someone set fire to a fume cupboard. Hopefully your students' accidents don't cause too much damage.

Oh yeah, nope, I don't even have fume hoods! There will be no flammable or otherwise dangerous chemicals in my lab. I don't think they even get to play with ethanol or dilute HCl until the second term of chemistry.

Actually, that's not totally true... I think we make spreader plates toward the end of the term, and that means flame-sterilizing. Well now.
