I work with two year olds all day. Sometimes they can get annoying, but other times they can be the cutest things on the planet. And honestly, nothing makes me feel better than coming in to work and hearing tiny voices calling out "Lizzie!" or "Ti-Ti!" or more often than not "Mommy!".

Especially with the toddlers, I get such joy out of watching them grow and learn. Watching a child's face as she discovers Oobleck (a mix I make from cornstarch and water that takes on the form of Silly Putty as it's played with) for the first time can be funny, while watching another try to copy your writing style on a MagnaDoodle brings on a whole other set of feels. And at that age everything is new and exciting to them, so even something as boring and mundane as, say, brushing teeth, in the eyes of a toddler becomes a whole other adventure.

And the things they say...my GOD. I had this one little girl in my class who was digging in the sandbox when she came over to me with the bucket she had been using, handed it to me, then said, while leaning back a bit "You do this. My back hurts!" Another child I have right now says things in a pseudo-British accent (I think she's South African), so I'll hear "Liz-ZEE! I cahn't reach it!"

I originally went to college to get my degree in elementary education, so I could teach the older set, and happened upon this job purely by chance. Now, I'm not so sure I could completely walk away from it, although in a few months I'll have to (and a few of you know why, if you follow me elsewhere)because those early years truly are special.

Too bad that's too much text for one of those "Conspiracy Keanu" memes, it fits perfectly.

If he makes "My Little Na'vi: Conservation is Magic", I'm leaving the planet.

A Swedish Fish...but I was gonna eat it....

I guessed you were a girl because of that purple-haired Larxene avatar you used to have. Good to know I was right (because I'd feel like an idiot otherwise)

Half the time when my phone goes off I'm either thinking about something, doing work, or looking for something. I miss so many calls because the theme just fits at the time.

I have a separate text tone, it's the find-the-item-in-the-chest music from Twilight Princess (You know...da-da-da-DAAAA!)

I was gonna say you're taking your SATs. That's how I reacted to mine.

That's what I was scratching my head at too. I figured it was like when restaurants can get busted for serving alcohol to minors, even if it's the parents letting the kids have "just a sip." Doesn't seem like this is the case here.

I scored a 23, so I'm above average. Makes sense, I'm bipolar but I didn't think I was autistic on top of that too.

I hadn't been getting any error messages, but the computer would lock up.

Let me see what happens if I download iTunes from the site without opening up the updater in my current version. Interestingly enough, it says the version I'd like to install is version 10.6.1.7

EDIT: So it's downloaded, it started the installation process but nothing else has happened yet.

So after leaving the thing alone for about a half hour while I did a couple errands iTunes updated at last. I guess this means the next time iTunes tells me it needs and update I'll tell it no, close it, and go directly to the site instead. There must have been some kind of hiccup between iTunes and the update server.

Thanks for the help. I swear I find more answers here than I do with customer support sites.

Oh God. I hated it when I worked retail and some customer -usually a guy - would call me "sweetheart" or "honey" to try to get me to do something for them. Nine times out of ten it would be something that would cost me my job.

So of course I would fire it back at them: "Sorry, sweetheart, can't break the law for you."

Now, teaching toddlers, I hear myself spouting "honey", "hun", "dear" "bud", "sweetie", more often than I would like. It's a habit I'm trying to kick, especially before my center gets visited for accreditation in the near future (we're not allowed to use pet names or nicknames as it suggests favoritism, and we can't make it look like we're denying basic needs to other children. It's considered neglect.)

The roommates and I all said the same thing. It's like they took this movie, Pocahontas, Dances With Wolves and the Smurfs, and tossed it in a a blender on the "puree" setting. Okay, Pandora was pretty to look at though.

My mind is what would happen if you stuck a library catalog inside a bounce castle. Everything's organized, neat, in order, all planned out. But toss it into a bit of chaos and forget about it, it turns into one huge mess. It's something I wishIi could fix; I plan well if I know what going on well in advance, but toss a monkey wrench or two into my plans and it takes an eternity for me to rework them.

I'll post without my theme for a second. Makaze, was that a bug or just a general "fix your font please, I can't read it" kind of thing? Also what skin are you using, because I'm using 5.0 Dark and I can read it just fine. But I can make it a bit lighter if I need to.

It's....MeepDerpWooblyZoopHipDipMeepKaSquee.

I tried to say that out loud several times. I just can't.

The fail is strong with this one.

Might have already been addressed, but when I see my little box on the homepage with all the little stats since my last visit, my rep-gems in the top right of that box are squished. It doesn't show up that way anywhere else.

I have to say I do enjoy the new post editor...just typing this bit up was like "Ooh....!"

And a health insurance plan with a very, VERY large coverage allowance and zero co-pay.

Aww geez....I gotta pick? Okay.
-rolls a die, 1-2 is 1, 3-4 is 2, 5-6 is 3-
-die rolls behind desk-
Well f-.
