AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!!!!

(I figured screaming would make us all feel better.)

In other news, I am done writing for the night, and I'm glad I finally stepped up (kind of) and dropped some of this co-dependent "I will get a paper done at the sacrifice of writing sections for other people" front. Sure, I get screwed because I have to spend the time to realize that someone has completely plagiarized a somewhat common source, that will be checked against through turnitin.com, and sure, it leaves me with stuff to edit later as opposed to quickly writing it myself, but... Ugh.

I really hate this. I really, really do. Just trying to remind myself that I don't do myself, nor my groupmate, any favors by doing the work myself.

Ugh.

AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!!

Smile, darn ya smile.

Make em fix it E!

Oh, I already did.

I'm just frustrated since it will take me longer to incorporate his "new" section, plus edit for grammar, spelling and triple-checking the plagiarism issue, than it would be to just write it myself. And I just want some papers to get f-ing done.

I should be pleased, though. I've gotten a lot done today.

Just have so much more to do this week still. :(

After this week! After this week!

It is flipping COLD!

I am thinking my morning walk might be warmer going through the refrigerated warehouse than outside.

Gonna be a bad afternoon in the Mousey House today. Boy refuses to do his homework. Last night his gameboy disappeared. Today, when he tries to go online, he will find his internet access is blocked.

That's life in the big city, right MG? Good for you for being tough Mom when you gotta!

Just be sure to verify that the reason for the refusal really is distraction from the computer and not a deeper issue (ie not understanding the material). I know that's been the case with Moonie junior from time to time.....

Our firm Xmas party this afternoon. Luncheon at Mistral (nice spot) and I have my Secret Santa gift, a green ceramic piggy bank with a small plush pig and a starbucks card. The ceramic pig is recycled from last year and it was very popular in the swapping game. So, here's hoping I do not end up with it again!

I still have bad feelings about the last office "swapping game" I attended.

We had a $12 limit. I came up with "A romantic evening". Two pieces of firewood, matches, hot coco mix, two candles and a $5 blockbuster gift card.

Nobody wanted it. :(
