Minor, but I intend to celebrate them.
- I gave the students a pop quiz Friday, and got it graded by Saturday! In fact, I am completely caught up in grading for the first time this semester.
- I got an exam written for Monday delivery! I could look on the dark side of that, in that it means I’m only caught up until tomorrow, but I’m going to pretend that writing a new and original exam is a good thing.
- The temperature in my office is currently around 33°C, which is miserable and made getting the work done harder, but I finished anyway. On the bright side, my sweat glands work!
- I revamped a lot of things for FtB, with some more on the way, and all the other bloggers here are happily tearing through old applications, saying yes or no. I guess I was the bottleneck holding everyone back. But I’m not anymore!
- This is going to be a short week since there’s some sort of holiday on Thursday. We’re planning to bring my oldest little boy, Alaric, home for a day. We’ll probably continue our tradition of putting up the Atheist Tree while he’s here, preparing for Atheistmas next month.
I guess that’s four good things with one in the works. It counts!
Only 33°C ? You need to crank it up higher if you are to deal with the Thuglican Party that wants to wreck biology education. Hint: “Inca Indians” + “molten gold”. (evil laughter)
Winter solstice isn’t good enough?
Newtonmas?
There’s also Squidmas. We have many excuses to party in December, it’s sad that the Christians have only one.
We need an to party?
What? Like Monday? or 4 PM? or I feel like it?
There’s always Dies Natalis Solis Invicti….
I prefer to celebrate Akira Get’s A Ham Dinner and Presents Day on December 25, myself.
Yeah you atheists need some holidays . How about Earth Day, the solstices and equinoxes for a start . Maybe the fundies in the USA will realize they can’t pretend you don’t exist even though this isn’t a Christian country . Besides y’all call out the fundies on their worst excesses and I’d rather y’all be around than their ignorance , misogyny and homophobia
