Now if I had baby-infested armour at my command, the teachers would do their attendance correctly

Gah. I don't have many bad days at work -- I like my job -- but I definitely had one, today.

One teacher managed to make 65 errors on a single page of a single week's attendance -- which means she entered every bit of information for every student and herself incorrectly for a week, excepting her initials. Actually, I'm a little surprised she got her initials right.

She's very nice, but I think Oliver Sachs could get a book out of her math skills and memory.

In better news, I'm back up to a steady 2000 words a day again, and the novel is coming together better-structured. I'm worried about giving daily progress reports after having disappointed people last time.

Plus, I got to hear jenjoou coin the term "baby-infested armour" last night. Context available upon request.

Late night post about anime

I really should be reading Moby Dick. I'm fairly prepared for my exam next Friday -- I was already prepared the first time around -- but more material would always help.

Still, there's only so much I can read about the differences between methods of rope-tying between British and American whaling ships before I flee to YouTube and anime.

( Only of interest to Fullmetal Alchemist Fans, and anime fans in general. Otherwise, nothing to see here. Will contain spoilers and severe psychological trauma. )
