Ahem. Sorry to the rest of you.

We should revive the quiet room thread.

In the meantime, here's a pot of your favorite warm beverage, a plate with six crackers and a wedge of your favorite cheese, and two of your favorite cookies.

Also a blanket and a warm, sleeping, calm puppy, or kitten, of your choice.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Reprove not a scorner, lest they hate thee: rebuke the wise, and they will love thee.

Give instruction to the wise, and they will be yet wiser: teach the just, and they will increase in learning.

I completely agree!  You should teach this course next semester! You will definitely do a better job than I'm doing in the course no sane person would attempt to teach remotely but we are anyway because reasons (not official course title).  With my blessing, have at it!

Every time you say, "I know it's not legal, but ...", I want to scream. I will never give you permission to use department resources to do something illegal. Stop asking.

Teleworking?! Je le deteste! :p

Moi aussi. Trop difficile pour les etudiants.

Bouf! Mais, non!

Moi, je l'adore!

Well, pas tout les temps, but I suppose my course load is affecting me. It's also kind of lonely.

Who is shooting a gun at this time of night?

One of several things I don't miss about living in the big city.
All we like sheep have gone astray
We have each turned to his own way
And the Lord has laid upon him the guilt of us all

Because that never happens in rural areas?
I'd rather have questions I can't answer, than answers I can't question.

Not nearly as often, in my experience.  When I lived in a large city, hardly a weekend went by without hearing gunshots.  Sometimes very close by.  And I didn't live in, or very near, what were reputed to be the city's more dangerous neighborhoods.  Where I live now I don't believe I've ever heard a gunshot at night in 15 years.  I've occasionally heard them during the day, during hunting season, when I'm on the edge of town.

Granted rural areas aren't all alike.  I understand that in Texas, in both town and country, there's a lot of "celebratory gunfire" that's not aimed at anybody, but still potentially dangerous.
