So the term Alpha and Beta were first coined in the 70'S to describe packs of dogs. These were erroneously used to describe wolf behaviour and Hollywood latched on to it. And they have even spread it in Sci -Fi Fantasy! Why the heck would a werewolf culture of thousands of years call their leader Alpha?
A tax rate of 600% seems high. What is the breakdown approximately? Are you being "taxed" for clean energy transition or something?
Oh, there's different names. Let's see. 9% of the total is a surcharge for Green Energy Development. 15% is regional taxes. 11% is federal taxes. 8% is communal taxes. Then there's 21% VAT. The rest is technically "costs", but most of that is transportation and network costs, which are made up mostly of....taxes from the federal government, and another round of VAT. Truly, our tax collectors are the world's most creative mathematicians.
I think that we saw 6 different accidents on Saturday alone, just around campus. And that was before those huge storms moved in as we were leaving town.
I avoided my little town this last weekend. I never figured out why parents don't buy the crap for their kid's dorm before they leave Houston.
I went to the grocery store yesterday, it was like a pack of locust hit the place.

Showing staff some of the stuff eventvwr/systeminfo tells IT is good fun, I loved going "huh, I'm sure the computer is wrong and you did power it off and on when I told you to, but it does say here that it hasn't been restarted in 5 days" *insert shit-eating grin*

And then here, an hour and a half later, he comes back and said "oh, you know, now that I think about it, it did happen exactly like you said.." WELL OF COURSE IT DID, I AM ALWAYS RIGHT.
Come home ready to grab a nap and find my freshly-washed-yesterday sheets and blanket doused in dog pee.
We don't get those AOL coasters sent home for free anymore like we used to, and tables still get wobbly legs, after all.
Well no. The truck stop doesn't stock them.
I'm more confused that they are still selling pornography.
Truckers often don't have internet in their truck, but will have a dvd player.
One of our senior-most leaders sends out weekly chatty emails complete with recipes and the occasional "life hack".When your company's owner, president and CEO starts a companywide e-mail with "Fellow Employees:"
Shoot me....her staff must find the time to draft them between polishing the floors of her mansion.
Well, this didn't happen.
So much for having an uninterrupted Sunday.
This opens the opportunity for me to do a number of other things I really ought to do, but I was still hoping not to have to lose so much of the day to doing them.

Yeah I had some pretty hard eye rolls over the panic. Most grades only have one option anyways. I'm pretty sure that they stopped giving the classroom assignments out at the end of the previous school year because they had parents freaking and harassing them all summer.
OMG one of them just said "won't somebody think of the children. "
I must be a terrible parent in their eyes because I don't get what he big deal is. Our kids both are fine with fixing out today what class they're in. The drama level over this is foolish.
I would get stressed out by it because there are 4 teachers per grade and kids line up outside the school by their classroom, BUT at the same time, it's because trying to sort that many kids on the first day of school when the school is already overcrowded would be a disaster.
When I was in K-8, everyone in the school would sit in the church on the first day of school, and you wouldn't know who your teacher was until they announced every single class list. If you were in 8th grade you spent half the day waiting. My parents didn't even know until I got home and told them!

My middle school was so small that there was one teacher per subject. The entire grade had class together except for math and science, which would just have half the class in each at a time.
Then high school gave you a schedule about a week before school starts. As far as I know, students and parents had 0 input into teachers until senior year when you got to choose which classes you took (which frequently correlated to which teachers you liked).

I went to so many different schools, knowing who my teacher was ahead of time would have meant nothing, since I'd still know nothing about them. 4 elementary schools, 4 high schools.
Grade 12, I didn't enroll until the second day of class.
oh and Grade 11, it was a month into classes.

I saw the doctor today and got a new prescription that I need to start right away. I had 40 minutes to kill before it would be ready so I went to Walmart. What a fool I am! School starts tomorrow so it was a total gong show in there.
Screaming kids are never cool but with this brutal, many month headache I have?? Wow, I have never moved as fast as I did today in that store today!
They had body pillows though!! And poke-stuff
Now that I waited for the prescription, I have to try it which is freaking me out a bit. It's just short term until I see a specialist though which is good

Wow, so in the time it took me to post that message, Pudding got the smoked sausages out of the grocery bag and tried to eat them, when that didn't work he had the ham slices open and was trying to eat one! When I turned around to deal with that, he had gotten his head through the handles of the plastic bag....
Have a serving tray with a type of foamy pillow underside - for breakfasts in bed and the like. Since the underside was getting kind of dirty, removed it and washed it a while ago. Wanted to re-attach the pillowy bit to the tray bit now. Had enough glue for 3/4 of the way around, and the shops closed 5 minutes ago. -_-
The hug is a sympathy hug - crazy glue is evil stuff!
I'm currently teaching at a middle school with 1,467 students. There are 71 teachers, not counting office staff, support staff, cafeteria workers, and/or administrators.
I can't even fathom what you're describing.
