[reapsthewind]

WOW hello

So you know what sucks? When you are a student, and have finals, but because you're a PHD student, you're also a TA / part time teacher, and you ALSO have to GRADE finals

I WANT TO DIE

hey I know some of my students are on this network TURN IN YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM SETS don't care if it's the end of the world as we know it, CALCULUS WAITS FOR NO WOMAN/MAN/SPACE MUTANT/WHATEVER YOU'RE TURNING INTO PAINFULLY AND SLOWLY

~in other news~

in my COPIOUS spare time (HAHA LOL :V JK) I did some google sleuthing and mayyybe some slightly illegal cracking and figured out where that artist who makes those godawful ugly statues for Ha Ha We're Totally Not An Evil Cyberpunk Corporation Out Of A Gibson Novel No Sir, aka THUNDER, THUNDER, THUNDER CATS CORP GO, gets his stone

which is an abandoned mine/quarry/Dr. Who set

i think some of you folk checked it out already BUT WHATEVER I want to see if anyone wants to come with me TOMORROW to take a look

because I finally have a fucking day off and haha fuck grading/studying

y'all in?

(if you're my students and you come uhhhh you get 1 get out of jail free card on the final)
(but not question 10. you get to suffer through that one. losers.)

so yeah? I think we can meet up there around 10 AM ish? Early enough that we have the light but not so early that we're like UGHHH EARLY. Bring flashlights + rope. Probably won't need rope but you never know.

Exams. You have my most profound sympathies. I had to skim that to avoid the flashbacks, lol!

Rope could keep you from getting lost, I guess, even if there's no lowering. Bring water, too! And good luck with all that, you're a braver soul than I!

Yeah, water's a good idea. I'm also thinking reflective tape, for not getting lost. Shows up better.

[espigeonage]

Good point. I don't think a mine would be a *total* labyrinth, but it's confusing underground. At least there's no worry about phone reception if you're on the network.

[reapsthewind]

Yeah, it's always a good idea. Mines aren't complete labyrinths but... yeah.

[espigeonage]

If they're hauling weird stone out that's not local - someone on the network said something about that - who knows what it's like down there. Maybe you'll need people on point?

Ah, sorry, I'm armchairing.

[reapsthewind]

Meh, whatever.

We'll be ok, I think.

[espigeonage]

You've gone caving or something before?

[reapsthewind]

... once?

[espigeonage]

Once more than me unless you count Mammoth! Which you shouldn't. Gah. Good luck.

[reapsthewind]

Thanks much!
