a friend at my old workplace left bus access open on my badge when I left saying 'lets see how long until they catch it.' they caught it today, April 26th, after 8 months/$400 worth of bus rides. thank you Mark from Facilities, I had a really good run!
it's so true about how dads will casually drop the most haunted lore. my dad did that today and I asked him 'did you ever get any professional help to deal with that?' and then I remember that I'm talking to a man who has completely killed his brain and most of his memory through decades of alcohol abuse and now these horrid images just float into his brain whenever he smells a certain scent of soap and then I guess he just pushes those memories out the other side and keeps on trucking until the next time he smells lemony soap? how different would this guy be today if he had access to mental health care and, critically, was able to use it without everyone in his life questioning his masculinity?

update i cannot get him to stop pronouncing a word wrong. he has full on cemented it in his head and instead of saying the word 'time' he's saying 'drunkard' in a really insulting way which phonetically is similar but not similar enough to be believable, he's definitely gonna get his ass beat in a bar
i think a common experience between language students is when you’re in a burnout stage you will bend over backwards not to learn a new word and how to use it correctly. i’m grading a student’s paper and for like the third time this semester he circumvented using the phrase ‘to wait in a line’, which was supplied by the teacher weeks ago, by saying some spin on 'I go to stand behind a person, that person has a person in front of them, that person has a person in front of them, there are six people altogether. we are all going to buy a movie ticket to the movie but each of us must spend more time standing in front of the counter than the person in front of us who can finally buy his ticket when he gets to the counter’ and every time he’ll be like 'but isn’t it all grammatically correct?’ and i’m like okay new rule if you describe any action in more than twenty words that could have been substituted with a verb from our unit vocabulary you’re getting points off
