suckage and lovage

suckage and lovage

Today's road rage factor (scale of 1-5): 4.5

Today is going to suck. This is the day when a project I worked on for several months will fail miserably. And of course I spent last night dreaming about just what a spectacular failure it will be, so I am not only nervous and upset, I am tired also. The wonderful thing is, it's a project that will be in motion until March 22nd, so I have a whole month to sit and stare at my failure. And this is a volunteer thing. It's not like there's even a paycheck or bonus or anything in the end to make it worth my aggravation.

Yes, I'm supposed to be doing it out of the goodness of my heart. The end result of the project (making reading a family activity) should be the reward in itself.

Bite me, ok?

I really have nothing else to give you this morning except bitterness and fear of failure, so I'm just going to put a stop to this post now.

On the other hand, there's a new QOD to keep you busy. The responses for the last one (celebrity crushes) were great. I expect good results for today's also (which will run most of the week): Songs to make love to, songs not to attempt to make love to. Go ahead, make me smile.

I just did some of that this morning before work. We used a chair and a book and a kid and my lap. How the hell can you make a project out of it?

It's a state-wide project sponsored by the PTA, called Parents as Reading Partners.

The PTA could make a project out of anything.

Ah. Oh. The PTA.

I hope it goes better than you fear. And don't kill anyone.

So, the problem is that all of the parent-partners won't be showing up?
Aigh.

Sending good thoughts your way, and effective threats their way... this'll turn out good, babe.

I offered to read for the kiddies did Inot? I offered to help them out, and disicpline them if necessary. Just because Jap[an has an arrest warrant out for what we did with the exchange student does not mean that I wouldn't have made a nice guest for your reading program...don't blame me.

I said it once and I'll say it again, g. Queer poetry and existentialist prose are not appropriate for grade school.

But you can read me bedtime stories anytime.

Thank you so much for the link! I'm all giddy like a school girl who just caught Rivers Cuomo's water bottle! ;-)
