If one is in Dutch with someone, one is in trouble. Not to be confused with "going Dutch treat," which means to split the bill for a date.

I never knew about so many meanings of the word "Dutch" before the internet.
Still, how did "in Dutch" became to mean "in trouble" I wonder?[/QUOTE]
Probably from "Dutch Uncle" to mean a stern rebuke.

Got a call from an elementary school nearby. They need a substitute English teacher for two weeks, starting next Tuesday.

Nah, it was clear from the get-go that this is a short-term thing. "Two weeks, more or less" was what I was told. But it will help me in three ways:
1.) Some extra cash
2.) Rack up some experience, which is where I'm lacking.
3.) Become eligible to join OAJ, the teachers' union.
But mostly this'll be about experience.

Google search tells me Cyproteronacetaat is an anti-androgen, and progynova is an estrogen replacement drug, so I imagine these are Ame's transition drugs

True. Sounds like 80s New Wave.
Congrats to Ame! Frank, congrats for Aussie beer-purchasers! NR, congrats for a job helping you get your foot in the door. Much love to y'all! *manly hugs all around*
Horray for Ame!
This was the first morning in months where the heat index was below 90. My air conditioner was not running this morning when I awoke... The air temperature was 65 easily 15 degrees cooler than Monday. On the drive into work I ran the car with the windows cracked and the sunroof open... It was such a glorious morning.
Then I get to work and there was a lot of broken sh!t... (so not completely epic)

Starting Sunday, I'll be spending three days in Orlando and visiting Universal Orlando. Can't wait to see the Wizarding World of Harry Potter!
I'll be sure to let you know how it is.
