I have mine set to 240 minutes idle before I appear away.
My psycho boss has an alert on me and it tells him when I log in and when my status changes. It's seriously crazy. But I totally feed the beast by playing his game. Oh well, gotta get paid.
That's absolutely insane. Someone needs some serious counseling.
I'm glad you shared! I actually love learning at all times. Mostly science things but it absolutely never hurts to know how to speak (type) eloquently. I wanted to be a teacher at one time..then I realized my main reasons were to write on the white board and grade papers. I decided those weren't good enough reasons to base a career choice though. I figured you were a teacher because of how great that explanation was. I just didn't ask because I was afraid of it coming off like, "So what, are you a teacher or somthin?" Lol
Hahaha. I can't wait to learn something scientific from you.
FFFC: I kind of hate grading papers. A little glass of wine while grading has not not happened before...
I love doing little experiments. One that I thought was really neat is I helped my younger brother extract DNA from a kiwi using denatured alcohol. It was really cool. I actually wasn't aware you could do that until we were looking for a project for his science fair.
FFFC: I have a really hard time buying clothes that do not have the color blue in them. Most of my clothes that aren't blue were either gifts or hand me downs. Even as a toddler I would refuse to wear other colors.
This is me, but with black. I own so. much. black.
FFFC: I own maybe two garments with actual colors. Gimme alllllll the neutrals forever

+1. If it's not black/gray, it's pink. I fucking love pink.

I love the confessions of things you did as a child. When I was little I stuck a green Sixlet up my nose pretending it was a booger. It got stuck and my mom had to melt it out with a warm compress.
Today my office is letting us out early. I plan to go out to eat and go shopping by myself. I'll be home in time for when my husband gets off work. As far as he will know I worked really hard today.

I made these today and then ate some of them for brunch with a side of Easter candy with DS. We each had milk and a banana so it's a pretty well-rounded meal.
(Full disclosure: that's not a picture of the ones we made because they are all the way in another room)

I also hate grading papers. Doesn't everyone? I have thirty more to go this weekend...
So inlaw are here. Mil didn't get to make dh cookies while she was in ny (her home) so she brought the ingredients down south to make dh cookies. The completely irrational pissy daughter in law in me says "no. You can't use my kitchen to make freaking cookies. They are just cookies. Move on with life. He doesn't HAVE TO HAVE COOOKIEES!!!!!" Sheesh. But that's a crappy attitude talking. I did tell her she has to wait until Monday to do them. I have much too much going on this weekend for her to trash my already trashed kitchen and bug the crap out of me looking for things.
Why? Are your students brilliant (and you find their work genuinely exciting)? Or do you get pleasure out of the power of it all?
ETA: were, you used the past tense, were...
neither really. It was just something I enjoyed. I enjoy helping people be better. So helping people see mistakes and learning the right answers and the right way to do things and seeing the growth...it makes me smile and happy. It's not a power thing.
I love watching Born in the Wild. I would never do it (at least I highly doubt it) but I find it very interesting. I have it in my mind I would like a natural birth so any chance I get to hear about one I soak it up. I do however find it to be extremely unsanitary to deliver in a river. Still, I watch the hell out of this show. Anybody else?

You'd get cookies out of this- you realize that, right?
Definitely overreacting here.
yeah I know I'm overreacting. And I don't care about the cookies. IMO her cookies aren't that great. And most of the time, baked goods and sweets aren't my thing. So yeah I'm overreacting and I own it.

Haha, I think all TEACHERS hate grading papers. Obviously, you always get a few great ones that you enjoy doing because you see the improvement in a kid who was struggling or the brilliant idea a student has come up with on her own, etc. But years and years of it will kill you inside. Whenever I tell non-academic friends this, they're like, "Why do you hate your job? And the children?!?!?" I think they just don't get how much you can love your kids and still know that grading wears down your very soul.

I am happy when I see growth. I just don't think that my feedback often triggers that growth. Many of my students admit that they don't even read the comments, and I often feel like I take their work more seriously than they do. The very first paper I graded in this batch, the student made zero changes after I extensively commented on a draft (something I rarely do). Moments like that are discouraging.

Are those nests out of toasted coconut?! Yum!
Yes. Toasted coconut, Nutella and Mini Eggs. Brunch of champions.

Yes, this. I'm almost always excited when I first sit down with their papers, but halfway in, after several years...
I have a lot of feels and feel like I'm just going to go off if I see another random stranger BFP or hear about a 35 day cycle being irregular.
I should probably just stick to drinking threads for the weekend. Stupid feels. #alcoholfixeseverything
This is how I feel most days. I haven't been participating much and I feel like I don't have that much to add lately. Everyone seems new to me and no one gets flamed for testing at 5 DPO or calling their OB if they aren't KU after 3 cycles. Why must my feels get in the way of my fun?

Then flame them. I bet a bunch of others would join you. I stay out of the WTO and TWW because I have either a. nothing to add or b. I don't want to read 5 pages about other people's cycles. But if I was participating and saw that shit I'd say something.
hippo, that actually doesn't sound too bad to me. I might even try it! When I was little, my mom made me "toy soldiers", which is translated from Polish, and they were basically rye bread with plain cream cheese, bologna, and pickle slices, and she would cut them up into little squares. Sometimes there was ketchup on them.

I practically live in the color blue and black. I try to branch out and buy other colors but its hard.

I do something like that, except I use flour tortillas with cream cheese, ham and a pickle. Yum yum. I could eat cream cheese with pretty much anything. Even by itself occasionally.
