first off HAPPY BIRTHDAY to just_like_rogue

secondly, they're closing the roads. I think that means no school tomorrow. It's so sad I'm dancing like a grade schooler over this mostly because this week has sucked (yes I know it's only tuesday) and i'm grading exams. You know how this makes me cry.

then we have the student loan morons yet again. I get the forms. It wants something I was not told about when i ASKED for all the needed paperwork. I call. This one tells me i could have the deferment (i.e. the original paperwork sent in two weeks ago) and she has NO idea why they rejected it this time because IT'S THE SAME DEFERMENT I HAD LAST YEAR. Well I thought so. So I say screw it, here's the new paperwork, nice and shiny. I go to fax it and get voice mail. I'm now furious figuring they're too incompentent to even give me the fax number right. No, he says that's right but I'm calling during the 'busy hours' (i.e. from 9-5) could I try to fax it at another time. You know I had best never take a job in Harrisburg PA. I might be tempted to do something that will have me looking at 25 to life.

ETA - forgot to mention the power keeps going out. that's gonna make life fun since i'm snowed into the hollow

Bowl drabble

For the open on sunday super/bowl challenge

It looked innocuous, like a plain carnival glass bowl but Angel said they needed to retrieve it so here it was. Connor wondered what his father would do with it but figured it didn’t really matter. In the aftermath of Blackthorn, Angel had gone way back to his roots, taking his son with him to Ireland. They were doing the help the helpless bit and almost managing to not argue. Things were decent. “Does this really let you drown anyone you want if you put a picture inside of it?”

Angel took the bowl and shattered it. “Not any more.”
