      ETA: Thirty copies of practically the same report? I thought that was a journal?

      That and teaching. Which is what I and @JinShei do.

      I would wince for you, but I'm still too relieved that marking doesn't refer to something related to furries.

      You think a Skype call is bad, try doing it with a class of inattentive fifteen-year-olds.
      Now you may wince.

            I wrote weeks worth of asynchronous material for one group, went to check on it, and none had done any. Apparently I didn't tell them to...

            Whereas my other group is on it, doing all asynchronous and in person meetings. I got 20 emails from one girl on one day. They are keen and working their hearts out.

            I stomped around the house shouting fucking fuckers.

                  I'm an English, middle-class woman - it takes a LOT to take me there. Two hours of those two words, without being derailed by my colleagues' sympathies.

                    Now that depends on which part of England you're from/in. Middle-class in Carlisle is very different to middle-class in Kent.

                                @Testament Virtual hug sent, if welcome. Have been there on and off for the past week or so. If there's something totally mindless and meditative and soothing you can do, it might help? (Pretty sure it has saved my sanity over the last 24 hours.)

                                Oh fucking well.
