R.B.O.C. late March edition

The new Facebook is not working for me. Yes, I’m always resistant when Facebook makes changes, but this one is bothering me so much I’m not even going to Facebook every five minutes like I used to. Which is a good thing, so maybe I should be happy about the new layout. I hate the wordiness of the newsfeed and I can’t quite figure out the difference between the newsfeed and the highlights gutter on the right. They seem to carry the same items, but the highlights are headlines only and the newsfeed has more description.

4Cs did not piss me off this year! This is a milestone. The last couple times I went, I left bitter, angry, pissed off, disgruntled . . . Maybe I’m getting better at picking sessions to go to. The last time I went, I saw bad reading of bad papers everywhere, but this year, while reading papers is still SOP, at least the people who read their papers seemed familiar with their papers, which, sadly, was not the case last time.

There are six weeks left in the semester. As much as I love my classes and students, I am so ready for summer. Not the weather—I still feel like we got screwed out of a winter this year (yes, even given Thursday’s blizzard)—but the relaxed schedule, the sleep, the mojitos . . .

I love this argument for having a standardized curse symbolism system.
