Friday the 13th combined with a full moon combined with fuckface as president?

I would support this.
Or you could quit your job to be a full time dog lifestyle influencer on Instagram. No need to chase sponsors or likes, just post plenty of dog pics

Look at that face!!! Though my pups are the cutest… just sayin’
I know sah pet parents. It’s a thing
This is basically what I do now.
Such bullshit. Is there an appeal mechanism?
Seconding that it’s bullshit.
Ignore the rest of this if you don’t want advice. You were still denied a tuition waiver, it doesn’t matter if you took out loans, worked your ass off, or stumbled across the money laying in the street. I’m not seeing how loans factor into it, even if they think the repayment system would matter somehow - everyone would have loans at different institutions wouldn’t they? And the balances of those different loans won’t all be $30k. I’m not seeing their logic and I’m damn well going to be a pain in someone’s ass for that much money.

That pup is 12/10 cute. I would follow your pup IG to see that face on the regular.

I’m still aaaaaanxious. Not surprising, because it feels like a good solid flare-up and they take ages to go away. But I hates it, precious. And stupid shit keeps happening to spike it (like someone who compared us to Nazis trying to get me and a fellow volunteer “in trouble” because she’s unhappy she was kicked out of the group… she was kicked out of the group for repeatedly breaking rules, it wasn’t even for comparing us to Nazis but you would think that someone engaging in public abuse of us would probably not be surprised that she was no longer extended the privilege of being part of our group?).

I’m looking into it. Seems like there should be, and it’s enough that I’ll check into legal counsel as well.[quote=“meerkat, post:2275, topic:204”]

Definitely. I’m sure they have some justification, but I think it’s flimsy at best. I’ll update as I know more, would be awesome to get it overturned

It’s the first month of Spring. In the past week I’ve run the heating and the air con at home. This displeases me.

I have yet to run the cooling, thank dog. Got the shadesail up just in time.

I should probably arrange to get quotes for the retractable blinds to cover certain windows in summer…
(Also I don’t handle heat well, so quite likely a different human would not have needed air con when I did.)

Mint is showing a big retirement account deposit on mobile, but not on desktop. It has also started only having purchases stay recategorized on whatever device I’m on, so I have to recategorize everything multiple times if I want to use mint on both my computer and my phone. Gah.

Asshat on the bus was harrassing a lady in a headscarf. Not aggressively/hatefully, but it was objectifying and insensitive and gross. He seemed to think he was being friendly. 
I eventually told him to knock it off, and he did, but it felt too little too late. Didn’t know what to say to her to empathize or release tension. 
icky situation left me feeling icky. Even though I think I did an ok thing eventually?

I have a sore throat and cold - my complaint is that I don’t like how whiny and sorry for myself I am feeling about this. This is minor (but it’s happening to MMEEEE!). I need to get over it.

The fire drill interfered with my testing schedule and now I’m behind.
