Oh, it's going to be *that* kind of a day....

Jack just handed me a screw.

Jenna just handed me a bracket, three more screws, and (wait for it.....) a table leg.

From today's emails:

Can you tell it’s finals week?

Comments about the new Oncourse gradebooks:

Several instructors could not figure out how to upload and download the gradebooks, even after a semester of my helping them. Now keep in mind these are Physics Phd candidates and as such rarely know what to do with anything that isn't spherical. I know it is my job to train them, but that is a job I am obviously ill suited to do, even after nearly twenty years of classroom experience.

And a tagline from one of the student's emails:

Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Late.

It's probably too late to be working on stats when the following happens:

• Head upstairs to make coffee
• Realize the new measuring cup doesn't have ounce markings
• Realize the ounce marking are on the OTHER side of the cup
• Try to turn off the water at the sink. Couldn't figure out why the light kept flickering.
• Turn back on the light, use the faucet to turn off the water....
