cornerofmadnessFigured out why my credit card wasn't working...I missed a payment on TWO of them and the electrical bill. I even use a table to keep track of these things. It makes me wonder about my memory these days.
On the other hand my majors had a good memory day, all of them nailing perfect scores on the big bone test. THe allied health ones I've yet to grade but I had one nearly in tears asking how this would affect her grade (I hadn't seen her in so long I wasn't sure she was still in class). And that it wasn't really her fault because she 'studied the wrong thing.' I rather calmly, coldly lost it and pointed out that was impossible as I gave everyone a complete list of everything on week 3 (and this is now week 10) and we've studied as a group everything on the test for the last 4 weeks in the second hour of lab. (the you just didn't study was implied).
I'm disappointed. I finally remembered my aphrocheesiac cheese I bought at the Farm Fest but man they screwed this batch up. It's WAY too salty and that's me saying it. I eat actual salt with a spoon if that gives you any idea.
For the first time ever I might not get my Spook Me done. Well I should get Jana's done but I'm not getting my FMA fan fic done, at least not in the way I wanted it to be. I've failed twice to do a flash fic for a blog hop. Opps.
But I DID get both short stories edited and sent back to the publisher. I also learned a few things like many of us are getting those rejection/revise notices (many of which are perplexing in the editorial comments) and then one brings up the publisher is getting slammed over bierasure in a new release which is news to the rest of us but then goes 'well I don't want to mention the book' then why bring it the hell up and get everyone worried.
I have noticed that with MOST m/m publishers AND readers. I have a lot of bi/pan friends who feel they're being erased though I think a lot of the publishing trauma has to do with the gay for you trope which is one I don't care for myself but I'm too tired to think about it coherently.
