Stupid Manatees…

moocowinthecity 2007-05-09 No Comments

Had to deal with the second Manatee the other day; the poor dear was making up students again…a trick she learned from the first Manatee…I told her what to tell her imaginary students, should they come and talk to her (in her head) again…

Manatee Rule of the Day: “Never poke, prod or stab a manatee with your hands, feet or any object,” failure to follow the rules may result in a 10,000 fine (Source).

Paper of Doom (POD): 176 Pages, but all the data is entered. Which means that so long as I make sure to work in brightly lit areas, it won’t reproduce in the darkness. The POD is also printed so I now have numerous digital backups and the hardcopy backup (which I’ll be using to complete the transcription notations as well as general editing).

Okay…back to work…it’s due in 19 hours…woohoo!!

“To Conquer The World With an Army of Flying Monkeys is NOT an Appropriate Career Choice…”

…why not? They’ve never explained why it’s not an appropriate career choice. Pessimists.

In other news…27 days until I’m in the Middle East enjoying both the spoken and unspoken language of the guys there, 16 Days until I’m in Toronto presenting at Yaoi North, Three days until I’m in New York City/Long Island for my Dad’s Award Dinner and Today and Tonight to finish this paper.

Paper is due at 3:00PM on Thursday…while there’s still a ton of work left…I’m almost in the clear…but staying up late working on it with a fuzzy head is counterproductive…so…sleep now…more work…tomorrow.

G’night!

Six more songs to enter into the analysis format; then printing this demon (129 pages…we’re not done yet) then transcription stuff, then re-working the arguments, then checking all citations, then editing it again, then printing the final copy…however now…now it’s time for a bathroom break, and then food…then back to work…

University Libraries & Babies Do Not Mix

I think children should be exposed to the wonders of reading; I do…I think children should be brought to university campuses so they can find them cool and neat and want to attend; I think they should be shown around and talked to as if they’re human beings instead of dolls…however…do not bring your incredibly loud child, into the computer lab of the most comprehensive (quiet) library on campus, with two days left to go in the semester/finals week…especially when the child is noisy…very noisy…do not look at me like I find your child cute (I don’t) or that I find their noises to be on the same par as the sounds of angels wings (it’s not)…there is a noisy library on campus; for this reason, too bad there’s a line, get a babysitter or go to the noisy library, not the quiet library: the computer labs are identical so you do NOT need to be here with that demon spawn.
