Bogged

I bogged down in the 30 days of shameless challenge. Want to know the run of commands that did it?


Speak up about something crap that was done to you.
  (I don't want to. Although I could mention briefly that I, for the time being, bank at Bank of America and leave it at that. That is shortly to change though.)

Hold yourself accountable — not guilty — for something crappy you did to someone else.
  (Though now that I think about it, I would have to admit to having lifted a small glass beaker from my blond sorority girl-type chemistry partner's lab drawer to replace mine (broken) so that I wouldn't get charged for it when we checked in our equipment at the end of the semester. I don't know why I felt justified in doing this. Probably it was because I didn't want to be on the hook for a $6 beaker--and I didn't like her much. I mean, I didn't actively dislike her on a personal level. I just disliked her type in general.

Off on a tangent: I always ended up with dud lab partners. Partly it was my own fault; I used to habitually skip the first lab class because most lab TAs would spend that whole time reading the syllabus to the class and showing a joke of a safety video. Of course, everyone also divvied up into partners on that day, so that when I showed up during the next lab, I always ended up with the dud no one else wanted. Sorority girl was one. There was also a fecal-pheliac nurse--and an old woman who thought that enzymes worked in what she called "non-linear time"--and another woman who could never ever ever remember the DNA-RNA-protein sequence inherent in transcription/translation (she was the least nutty in many ways).

Dress, walk, and act like you know you’re all that.
  (Ugh. This is a double-edged sword, I think. There's nothing wrong, of course, with having a personal style and confidence. But some people...take it a little too far, don't they?)

Spend money on a non-necessity or share a financial struggle.
  (I guess I would consider my makeup purchases non-necessities. I spent, for example, around nine dollars yesterday on mascara and concealer.)

Discuss the reality of your work situation.
  (There is none. That is reality. I'm teaching two days a week at the studio. So there's that.)

And speaking of the studio, I had two students on Monday night who were very fun. One of them, a young mother of a 3 year old and a 15 month old told me that her 3 year old loved Dyson vacuum cleaners and that, at the store, the way she could get him to behave was to threaten to not take him to see the vacuum cleaners there. He was not motivated at all by candy and such, only vacuum cleaners.

As far as getting my own work done, meh.
