A deck, a warm evening, a glass of wine, and …
Now we’ll see if we can’t translate that into a job.

I’m sitting in a Barnes and Noble about an hour’s drive from where I live, proctoring three community college students who needed to take a test on Sunday. The community college’s test center is closed on Sundays, which left me in the happy situation of being able to earn $20/head for sitting around reading books…
How to keep an idiot happy.
So there I was, sitting at my computer, trying to get some email done, when ACfH starts begging for fetch. This has become a routine; my sitting down to the computer is a signal for fetch to begin. She’s lost her butt-ugly mushroom somewhere in the apartment (it didn’t even turn up during the usual…

“Very little of the great cruelty shown by men can really be attributed to cruel instinct. Most of it comes from thoughtlessness or inherited habit. The roots of cruelty, therefore, are not so much strong as widespread. But the time must come wherein humanity protected by custom and thoughtlessness will succumb before humanity championed by…
Another Fine Mess I’ve Gotten Me Into
I graduated high school in 1974. Yeah, OK people, do the math, get the giggles out of your system. This makes 2009 the time for my 35th high school reunion. I have attended one high school reunion in my life. It was, to say the least, painful. It was the fifth high school reunion, when…
All about me.
Enough about eyeballs. Let’s talk about me. First of all, the pain is improved from my disc problem. In its place, I’m starting to get transient numbness/pins and needles. This is like the hypoesthesia I experienced back in ’96 or ’97 or whenever the heck my neck went out the last time. The prednisone seems…
Friday on my mind.
I need to sing the praises of my Prius. It was a *fun* ride into work this morning, thanks to that little car. And I have to admit; it’s fun turning heads, even if it isn’t my beautiful self that’s doing the head turning. I can’t wait to get out of here and drive home…
You’re probably just winding up your dentist’s appointment right now. I’m sure everything there went well and now you have to get your butt to school and study your head off. Eat something around five so a growling stomach doesn’t distract you. Don’t forget to have a nice cup of espresso or two about half an hour before the test. (Studies show that caffeine before a test improves scores, you know.) Then a trip to the bathroom immediately before. Those are my own little tricks to make sure I don’t have any distractions. With those suggestions I’m sure you’ll do very well on the test. (((hugs for luck)))
Good luck!
And try not to cram right up until the last minute – I always find it’s better to put my books away at least an hour before the exam, and spend the remaining time just relaxing, maybe reading some light fiction or something – it gives your brain a bit of time to process what you’ve learnt (otherwise you risk only being able to recall the last thing you tried to memorise!), and going into an exam in a relaxed state of mind is always a good idea.
But I’m sure you don’t need this advice anyway – you’ll blow them away!

RYC: I’m never convinced by my sketching ability – I almost didn’t upload those ones because they didn’t seem to me to look anything like what they were supposed to.
