do you need that juice, Paige?

Grading on a curve ball

Bruh….you already did this.

The easiest A+ grade I got in my last year of high school was when I signed up as a library aide. 1997/1998, we had 2 big projects:

(1) Upgrade all the desktop computers from Mac LCII/LCIII connected via LocalTalk to new Windows 95 PCs on Ethernet (Windows 98 hadn’t been released yet.), and,

(2) Help design a hyperlinked map of the card catalog. This was fun; starting with a CAD-drawn floor map (like blueprints to a house) and use HTML to create buttons on the map. This was linked to a database file that was updated frequently, and not only told you where the book’s located, but also if the book is available.

I also got to do some rudimentary IT support, when the PCs went down or couldn’t connect online. There were other library tasks I had to do as well.

One person’s dream is another person’s nightmare.

I had a dream that I invented a new color…..

But when I woke up I realized it was just a pigment of my imagination.

Last night I was dreaming I was swing in a ocean of Fanta…

but turns out it was just a Fanta sea.

Today’s classic FoxTrot Sunday strip:

This one feels a little bit like a glorified daily strip with only four panels…

Only in your world would that be a total nightmare, Jason.

Jason also woke up before Fayy Wray appeared. (See today’s ‘Peanuts’)

Jason should be in college courses. It seems he is basically educating himself on another level.

the easiest A we ever got was the shortened week of Thanksgiving. A lot of people skipped to go deer hunting (almost a religious rite in northern Wisconsin), the teacher said write your name on a piece of paper and pass it to the front, he said you all got an A on today’s test, anyone missing who didn’t have a doctors excuse failed.

As if Paige studied for any test. She exceeds Peter in the Procrastination Quotient!

That teacher has a delightfully wicked sense of humor. I’d love to sit in and audit Jason’s math class. I bet I could pick up a few pointers or two! Alas, it’s not to be. It’s just a dream more’s the pity!

At least he wasn’t naked.

From just kidding to just kvetching ;)
