How do you spell "feminine?"

Femin. Femine. Fememen. Feminant. Feminent. Femmin. Femint.

So, so burned out on my job these days...

That's all.

Ouch. I can't think of anything other than: You have my sympathy.

aunt_deen February 25 2010, 20:45:14 UTC

Thanks. It's not like it's anything new. But by the time I got to the fifth innovative spelling I just had to vent. :)

Of course! LJ is an excellent venue for that. And at least your sister found comedic inspiration in the moment. :-)

aunt_deen February 25 2010, 21:06:37 UTC

Yeah, she's good at that.

Femin: the abbreviation of feminine.

ha ha, nice icon, dear!

Thank you! And speaking of House and Alvie, have I ever shown you this? Maybe so, but it's always worth a re-view. :-)

Not only does my district supply me with these students and expect me to teach them all Shakespeare, they also block YouTube.

Will look as soon as I get home.

flippet February 25 2010, 20:34:45 UTC

Ouch. And double ouch.

Have a *headdesk* in your honor.

aunt_deen February 25 2010, 20:50:03 UTC

That is an excellently apt *headdesk.*

My actual mood today is somewhere between your icon and mine.

Maybe with several different spellings, it's less likely they're copying from each other.... ?

Yeah, I got nothin'. Hang in there.

aunt_deen February 25 2010, 21:23:03 UTC

Well, I'd like to believe they weren't copying from each other, but in one class, five kids seem to be under the impression that Lady Macbeth was in cahoots with the Witches.
