In a discussion over lunch, this past weekend, I identified the author of the Mrs. Murphy mysteries (Rita Mae Brown) and I was just POSITIVE she was the same author who wrote The Color Purple.

WRONG. (Alice Walker.)

Durrr. I have no idea why I did that, but I feel pretty foolish.

If it makes you feel better, I misspelled Nietzsche on the board, in both classes, both times INSISTING that I'd got it right. It's that insistance that makes me feel like an ass. (I spelled it Neitzsche).

Yeah, I think that's it for me, too. Bleagh.

This is my comeuppance for ever saying I wanted to learn the skills of bluster and snowing everybody. (The people who get raises and promotions aren't the ones who are right, they're the ones who are forceful even when they know squat.)
