Holy batman, Amlithist! Oh, this one's going to have a terrible life, always in trouble, always convinced she's being persecuted for something...Be grateful she's not your mother-in-law. This is just outrageous. Ten bucks says she doesn't graduate.

People wonder why I'm not married..."So I won't have a MIL" seems to be a good enough answer.
Little do they realize that we look forward to the break at least as much as they do. And no, this indigo sprite won't last more than 6 months at any job, ever. Can you imagine what a boss would say? Lordy, lordy.

Oh my GOD, Amlithist. I just read your email story. Yesterday, one of my students yelled at me that HE knew how to cite in MLA form and my suggestion that the URL is needed for online sources was incorrect. This FRESHMAN knew this because he was in "communications" and of course, he's more knowledgeable about citations than I am, being a mere PhD and all who has been citing using MLA for what, a mere 12 years? I don't know where these idiot kids get off. I hope your chair ground that nasty emailer to bonemeal.
