Yes.

I am supposed to keep my desk organized and tidy, with all my attendance registers and work-done sheets and merit mark sheets sleeved and foldered so should I be felled by the machine-gun fire of icy glare after icy glare after announcing a pop quiz or beheaded by the paper-cutter another teacher can take my place.

I always leave a little mess as an insurance policy.

Most days to be honest. :)
On the other hand, it's good to be needed. Hem hem.

For me, i think the rude unexpected awakening (thank god it was cold enough i was at least in a t shirt) and not getting to preform one of my few regular rituals made it way more out of joint than usual. When i wake up, i brush my teeth and take this mixture of liquid vitamins and wait thirty minutes before anything else. There is some amount of caffeine in there and that's part of it, but i don't think i realized how well they work or how this one consistent thing prepares me, so i've been depleted and fuzzy while suddenly having to fly around, mostly because of other people's oopsies.

It's a tiny tip of iceberg, but it's really thrown me off amidst the rest of the off-kiltered peoples, which i usually navigate quite well.

i mean, i could get some stuff done now with fun and assistance but i
just
don't
wanna.

Yet.

i wish--
Well, i wish a lot of things but right now i think i'm gonna try to finally see last night's WTF PR and shake it off.

Feeling this kind of oogie makes me worry larger things are afoot. And, well, they are.
And i need a hand.
But not the clap.

WHY DO YOU KEEP BREAKING METACHAT ETH

YOU KNOW IT'S ALL YOU AND YOUR "SUPERHEROICS"--
CAN'T YOU USE YOUR POWER FOR GOOD?

USE YOUR POWERS TO TELL ME IF I SHOULD GO BUY HALLOWEENERIE AT THE MEGLOMART NOW.

THERE'S A HOT PINK TRICK OR TREAT PUMPKIN FOR A BUCK AND A HALF, IF THAT EFFECTS YOUR ANSWER/EVIL POWERS.

i let frugality decide. So much for superpowers.
Now it's DO MORE STUFF vs TRY TO SLEEP EARLY.
Ah, the tyranny of daylight hours.

Maybe this should now be the thread of shouty questions no one can answer.

IT'S GONE FROM SUMMER HOT TO WINTER COLD ALL AT ONCE: WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL MY LONG PANTS? HOW IS SOMEONE SUPPOSE TO SARTORIALLY ENDURE SUCH CLIMACTIC SHENANIGANS? WHAT HAPPENED TO MY DAMN ROBES?

IS THIS FABRIC AT ALL EVIL IN DARK PURPLE?

I spent the day making pasta and pasta sauces. I recommend it.

That sounds fabulous. You have a pasta maker? Like the good kind you bolt to a table?

Right now the Bees is in her harness, tied to a string, hanging out in the hallway outside the apartment door.

And she just freaked out and broke the string because someone came into the hall. Aww. i wonder where she thought she was going.
And i was gonna take a picture.

Maybe i can get her to hold a beverage or wear glasses for tomorrow's photo friday.

Nice.
So what kind of pastas can you/ did you make?
Did you freeze or dry them?
And sauce me: red, green and white?

Arrabbiata, Bolognese, and Ragù with Cannelloni and Lasagna for freezing and Fettuccine with Ragù and fresh bread for dinner.

i want to eat at your table. You have often fleshed out your culinary dominance over the basic elemental properties of foodstuffs.
Does that mean you can crank out a decent tagatelli?

Ok, so who else has noticed "outages" and "timed out" of our Metachat?
Pink and i have logged roughly four hours ago, thirteen hours ago and "04:45 PM October 08, 2008" on twitter.

I can do a decent tagatelli and yes, you are welcome at our table.

And yes lots of time outs tonight.

You are aware i may actually show up, right?
