Glad to hear that the presentation went well, even if you got some blank stares. I can relate with the dressing. There's this one particular kind I like, and was out of, and the store I went to didn't have it! I felt petty complaining, but I see that you would understand my grief. That fly incident -- jeesh-- that's TOTALLY something that would happen to me! (In fact, when I was in maternity pants, it was kind of a relief because I didn't have to button, zip or buckle anything for months! I might be the only woman in America who liked wearing maternity jeans.) Hope you get a good night's rest! You crack me up!

You can't do anything. Sometimes I tap dance across the room to see if they're listening. People being noisy upstairs is the worst because there's nothing you can do about it..hit the ceiling with a broom handle, maybe? I'm so paranoid about my fly...One time I walked into a classroom with my entire skirt tucked into my pantyhose. My bottom hanging out for the world to see. It was mortifying. Hope your day gets better tomorrow!!! :) That’s what teaching is like. They stare at you ALL THE TIME. You can’t do anything. Sometimes I tap dance across the room to see if they’re listening.

Moving TRUCKS. Aren't their rooms like 10x10? Why on earth do they need big moving/cargo vehicles? Don't they KNOW that in college you're supposed to fit everything you own in the back of a compact car? sheesh. kids today. ;) Okay, I started thinking about this when I was driving around Georgetown and GW last week: College students.

You have to entertain a generation whose attention span has been shortened to 8 seconds by television. Damn--now I'm whining, too, and I don't even teach any more. Cathy is so right.

And I can't remember three things. Luckily my husband catches is most of the time. When I was teaching back in Mississippi my students stared at me too, but thats probably because I was dancing around to a song called "Guacamole!" (I taught music K-6th grade, I don't know if I ever told you that) Anyway, hope today is better better better! I didn't know you were at Harvard until today either! DER!

For the loud upstairs neighbors, maybe let them feast on your fave tunes way high one day. =} The fly, man I have one pair of pants I always forget to zip (similar to Bellabelly!) because of too much going on around the waistband area. The other day, I went to work with my sweater on backwards. ! Hope your day is good today!! Yay for doing well on the presentations, and I can relate to all your gripes.

You guys have the HOOK UP for sauces...c'mon, now! Just kidding. I totally feel ya on the parking spaces...damn students. Forget that they are like why I have a job and everything...why must they park so recklessly? Hope you are having a good day today. Umm, I’m not feeling sorry for you on the Blue Cheese.
