I can't quite recall the last time I saw snow. It was lovely then and even more so now. Perhaps it even adds just a little more cheer to a world that needs it.

So. Sleep remedies. Let's talk about those. I'm not sure which is worse. Dreaming or insomnia.

So I'm kinda sad I missed the whole Halloween Trick or Treat thing this year. Kinda passed out on the couch with the dog and that was the end of it.

Speaking of dogs, anyone wanna go to the dog park sometime soon, get a little running around done, meet people and dogs, hang out? Mom, James, you guys need to meet Sylvio anyway. Anyone else is totally welcome, too. Let me know and we can pick a date! I'll totally go multiple times too.

I do wonder if there are any students who actually care about their studies more than their professor's reputation. You are paying me to be taught about my subject, not my life's story.

This is not an invitation to the rest of you, either. There is a time and place for personal questions. Learn the difference.

I'm entertaining the idea of going to this Halloween party, but I have no idea what to go as. I'm far better at picking out costumes for others.

What are the rest of you going as? Perhaps it will help inspire some creativity on my behalf.

My time is far more valuable than yours. If you're going to show up late for my class, don't bother showing up at all.

Thus ends the rant.

Why is it, if you're a girl in your twenties or thirties, everyone and his brother has to ask you "oh are you getting married, do you have a boyfriend, don't you want kids?" What if I don't want a boyfriend? What if I don't want to get married? What if I *gasp* don't want kids? Am I not allowed to be happy with myself and my dog, or my mom and hers?

I'm 27. Stop telling me how I should live my life.

Also? I hate Mondays.

I slept horribly. And all of these students are acting insane. What is going on?

In my inevitable forgetfulness I do believe I have forgotten a friend's birthday. Does anyone have any particular gift ideas for a very old friend from a forgetful old man?

Something that's not explicit would be appreciated, thank you as I somehow doubt she would appreciate that.

Yet another year where I have the vast majority of my staff out on out of town commission work. This at least is better then most in that at least we've been paid on time so far this year for said work, though if I have to hear how horrible it is to be short staffed again I am going to kindly point them to previous years. At least this year we have more people then we did last year making being short staffed at least tolerable as opposed to downright dreadful.

And also to anyone who drives at night, can you make sure your stereo system is down to a tolerable, heard only in your car level? I do not need my dog waking up in the middle of the night because someone decided they want the entire world to hear their music. Or at the very least nothing with such a beat that it nearly causes my windows to rattle while you drive by. And do I dare mention what that has to do to your hearing?
