"That's mighty wight of you" has a very different connotation when the homophone "white" is utilized.
Phonephobia, maybe. HERE is the April Fool post.
we are approaching our own night and fog,,, and those of us who became elves for decades are going to want our little suits "Sind wir nicht Knaben glatt und fein? was sollen wir länger Schuster sein!" Ain't we boys smooth and fine? Why should we keep being cobblers? Is this the Cobbler's Petition?
Hell no- we want to be poets sulking in our tents. "The little men have made us rich" is said in Grimm tales. Meanwhile don't mess up a good thing. Black Union soldiers put on their suits too, but they didn't make to Gburg in time for the party. The smooth fine white boys put on a hell of a show.
Nobody thanked them for it until they started thanking themselves. For what? Who knows anymore. Saving the Union? Pursuing the Lost Cause? Abe mojo wearing thin... of by and for what people? Like all things for profit usually drive prophets away. You are not a loan. Everybody must get stoned.
"We fight wars and talk gibberish to defend them," said the cobbler, "The hour is getting late." So let us not talk falsely now. It's time to offer many fine Volk here in Dominionist Krakkerland a nice hot cup of STFU. See The Facts Unfolding... or something. Otherwise the Volk will start breaking heads.
They are already breaking our shoes with gibberish about lime in the coconut is somewhere in the Bible so we don't have to cater gay weddings. Meanwhile the oceans are dying and the monetary system has collapsed. So what did Jesus have to say about catering gay weddings? Nothing? Then STFU
Night and Fog come innuendo and make magic shoes.
Or maybe the cattle will go on strike. Debtors' prisons are coming back. We sure could use a paradigm shift... and the next person who says "game changer" will be beaten with a waffle iron.
The black dog has grabbed ahold of Jo. She has an interview for a job coming up (very big, very prestigious) and she just got forward an email from a "colleague" who was chair of the tenure committee that the search committee have contacted her for a reference. We don't trust this woman at all. Jo is feeling like her career has been terminated with no chance of resurrection - and my job offer isn't at a high enough salary to allow her not to work. And she has a ACL reconstruction surgery coming up as well.
I really don't know how to deal with this dark cloud. I wish I could make it go away but that isn't within my power. Meanwhile I tire of the snipes made at me for the slightest irritation.
Been there. As one of my many therapists would have said, 'Just remember, it isn't about you.' Take the bullets and give her space until she's recovered. Hard to do, as we manly men like to go into rescue mode and often end up making things worse.
I have no doubt that better things lay ahead for you guys.
Hard to find proper chocolate in the US but we managed. We have a couple squares each with a glass of red wine every night. Using most of the milk to ferment kefir (got hooked on it in Latvia). Thai chili crackers....gonna have to look a little harder to find those.
Thanks BO. I've been with her for over 25 years and I still take it personally even when I know better.... It is so hard to see such a strong and deserving woman being brought to such a low place precisely because she has always done her best.
Jo came back from the 3 day interview exhausted but valued. This is a faculty that seems to actually like each other and understand that what best serves the students and the art is far more important than massaging their own inadequate ego structures.
This is the first time after an interview she has reported that she felt like she did a good job. Not counting on getting the job as these searches always have hidden confounding variables but it is great for her to get that reality check - quality people aren't threatened by quality people.
