the "things you wish you could say" thread

To Whiny Helpless Students, Oldest Kid, Spouse, Clueless Admins, Aggravating Priviledged BFF, and anyone else within screaming distance:

OMFG! Will All Of You F*&#ing IDIOTS Just Go Away And Leave Me The Hell ALONE!!!


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.

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.

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

One of several things I don't miss about living in the big city.

One of several things I don't miss about living in the big city.

Because that never happens in rural areas?

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.
