why nightmares about memory addresses?

So Digg, I'm really late and am just now learning about the Star Wars EU Cull.

How are you taking it? Are you going to be OK? I don't k of any grief counselors in your area, but I'm sure we could look up something.

Just had a proper babershop hot shave and a haircut. Fantastic.

Xtreme cuts
79 Sullivan St
New York, NY 10012

Fantastic guy, and fairly cheap. $20 for the shave, $25 for the haircut. Did a great job, really nice.

You only get a haircut once every 6 or 7 years...?

I figured maybe you were going bald or something.

Thanks, cyn.

So, this was a day, and what a day it was. Started out awesome, until I opened my eyes and observed that it was far too bright compared to when I normally wake up. I looked at my phone to turn off the alarm and found that the noise that had woken me wasn't the alarm but two missed calls from my boss. Eyes flew to the clock, and I discovered that it was well into first period...

Cut to 40 minutes later... walk of shame to my boss' office. She just smiled and told me to hurry to the third period or I'd owe my students even more foam kisses (seriously, guys, what kind of a name is that?)

Cut to just before I went home. My boss comes up to me and asks me to join her in her office for a serious talk. My heart skipped a couple of beats. Once in her office, she started asking me about why I was late for work. I thought she was going to kick my *** to the curb, being a substitute teacher and all. Instead, she asked me if I was interested in a full-time job.

Ladies and gentlemen, my boss is ******* awesome. Also, the day is now in balance.

So go late to work with no excuse and ... you get ... a promotion.

I seethe with congratulatory feelings towards you.

Actually that's all pretty awesome. Congrats and stuff.

Communist hippie Europe, right?

Fate didn't even want to pretend I had a chance. Didn't get out of work until after 8 (had been there since 7:30 a.m.).

I'm actually okay with the EU cull. The universe had grown way too large with how little oversight it had along the way. And I frankly find a lot of the ABY plot lines, once you peel off the nostalgia effect, to be quite bad. EU Luke, to me, is such a terribly written character. His plot lines aren't interesting, his development isn't interesting, and what he brings to the universe isn't interesting. Leia/Han and their family is way more interesting.

So now they're going to keep all the main details of the universe, but actually give the editorial oversight to the plot that it should have had all along.

The plus side is that it seems most of the stuff that happens before the movie era is safe (Old republic through the Darth Bane stuff). I'm curious if they'll keep Darth Plagueis though.

must suck to have a job where you have to be there at a certain time and leave at a certain time

I have one, and I'm usually there early, and I generally leave late, so "certain, assured" is really just the lie they tell us.
