1. Saw my therapist today: she made a strong case for me just quitting this job at the end of the year and moving home, replacement job or no. Best line: "you won the prize and got the job and now you're taking anti-depressants. Obviously something's wrong, right?"

2. Took pseudonymous kid grocery shopping, which wore. me. right. out.

3. Got an email from an old friend who was told by another old friend about my blogdentity. Cool, but kind of freaky. So far, as far as I can tell, those of you with big mouths are only telling people I'm cool with knowing, but for god's sake, you really ought to at least tell me who you're outing me to. And would it kill you to drop me an email once in a while? (I know, I know, I'm a massive hypocrite, and I shoud email/call you too, especially those of you that have had babies.)

4. Apparently there are more jobs posted in another place I would like to live. Must get up the energy to apply for them. Sigh.

5. Forgot that I had a parent-teacher conference scheduled tonight with pseudonymous kid's teacher. I totally, totally suck.

6. For CW: random comments, suitable for a wide range of student papers.
- Good argument, but you need to provide more supporting evidence.
- I'm not sure what you are arguing here, is it X, or Y?
- You must cite your sources. (This is such a great all-purpose comment, suitable for unresearched papers, plagiarism, or pure bullshit.)
- Wow! Great paper!
- You are kidding. Right? Please tell me you're kidding.
