Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
Afternoon. Spent my morning teaching Algebra 1 to a bunch of summer school kids (2 different groups) and my afternoon playing the dress rehearsal of Shrek. Now it's time to float around in the pool until it storms.

Watched UCI DH practice at Snowshoe today. It didn’t suck.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
Start referring to that guy as "princess", it'll probably sort itself out.
I recently had an encounter with this phrase. A young woman at REI kept calling me Queen, “you are the queen”, etc, seemingly intended as a great compliment. When I jokingly referenced her as a ‘soft goods girl’, she got deeply offended.
When I retorted that calling me Queen when I have a son dealing with identity issues was a bit insensitive, she shut the fuck up quick.
to sum up: the Queen moniker is a thing among the younger crowd,

Recruiter just contacted me for a job that requires a minimum of 10 hours a day 6 days a week. I said I was interesting in taking half of that. He wasn't amused.

What is a "soft goods girl" ? Is this something we need @mandown to explain ?

All the rock samples that were stolen from me were returned to my Lawyers office today. Somehow, I get a restitution payment also.

Fuck that shit unless you are your own manager and get to spend 50% of that time doing what you want . I work 50 hours in five days and I get a minimum of 3 hours of fuck off time per day
