Sluts? Where?

I received my grades for the semester I managed to pull off a 4.0. I'm mostly psyched about doing well on final papers for my two honors module courses. That, and I may end up landing a paid humanities tutor position at my school next semester.

I'm deciding whether I want to get a good night's sleep for work or play Skyrim.

Nice! I was a tutor at our campus Writing Center, and I loved it. It was a good foot in the door to begin my teaching career. It was also super convenient going to class and then to work. The only thing that sucked was you could only work a maximum of 20 hours on campus

super easy to install.
And it only cost me $64! Fucking win!
I wonder how much a shop would have charged me to do it all.

At least an hour of shop labor, so like $80+.

Recovering from workout session. Has started ze workouts. I want decent abs rather than beer gut, yes.

 

[damnromulans]

Abs are made in the kitchen.

Most annoying and true statement there is.

So $200 or so altogether maybe.
Makes you feel good when you do that shit.

I have a cold and it pisses me off.

Even better doing your own brake work. Can replace the pads and get the rotors turned for a fraction of what a shop would charge.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

No idea how to manage that shit

 

[unknown]

replacing brakes is significantly easier with a friend...especially when you bleed the brake line

It'll probably be about the same hour constraints for me, but I'll be making up lost time at my regular job. I'm hoping that it will help me get my foot in the door for a TA position in grad school. I have a few years to go for that though.

 

[Eligos]

I feel a poop coming on. I think it's gonna be a good one, I had artichokes last night.

Some of you truly enjoy talking about shit. Maybe even a little too much.
