Revision of Fugazi's "Promises" about communicating

Starting with changing some lyrics to "use your fucking words" and expanding out from there

When?

Tired: book curator
Wired: livræsthete
Inspired: Sir Coxson selects… while Roland Alphonso reads… books Strictly For You

So at, say 12 minutes per student x 28 more students, this is going to be… a while.

And I know that somehow, despite me being the one who (a) didn't make the question incorrectly, (b) identified the cause of the issue, (c) volunteered to proactively fix this before students get understandably angry, and (d) told my colleagues to test their questions before we launched into the semester, I know this will somehow be regarded as my fault in our next meeting.

This is getting old.

It's been 12 minutes since I started timing this task & about another 10 before I decided to start timing.

I'm having to manually go in and override about 30 grades in Blackboard because a colleague made a quiz question manually graded rather than auto-graded.

I've just finished the second (2nd) because the gradebook is so big that despite having only 1 tab in Firefox and the single necessary Excel grades sheet open, Firefox keeps bogging down and asking if I want to close the tab.

I just learned about @glimpse — looks like a promising fork of That Atrociously Named Program:
The Glimpse Editor is a free software image editor forked from the well-known GNU Image Manipulation Program.

Initially this will provide a simple re-branding to make the software suitable for educational institutions and enterprise settings, but in future versions new features to address long-standing user complaints will be included.

That goes for you. And especially for you over there.

Honestly, though, I hope I'll eventually figure out how to make time to write, when reading or giving people (hopefully constructive) feedback feel so much more productive.
