Monday presents best idea, not buying me a living thing. The responsibility is already intimidating me but I think I will call her Jessica. #

Email from uOttawa saying actually they want to pay my TAs $20/hour not the $30 agreed and advertised last time. Furious. #nothavingagoodday #
Arghh apparently my TAs don't do the same job as normal TA so don't deserve as much. WTF? My TAs are way smarter and better than "normal". #

Love this visualization of graffiti in NYC – so much programmers/artists can do with #opendata – http://bit.ly/bgjQKN /via @fi5e @Fatcap #
Interesting perspective on the decline of computer science, don't agree that all the "cool" stuff is done though! http://bit.ly/9mVOxU #
Fight with UO continues: "the collective agreement is to protect mediocre TAs. My TAs are not mediocre, and as a result have other options" #
Have to follow @lccarson after that crazy awesome talk at #ignitewaterloo I need more raw meat dresses in my life. #

In a lesbian dating powwow. I don't know why anyone would value my opinion on this. #
Okay I totally just hit on a girl. It's not that hard, yo. #
My attempt as passing for a lesbian is failing miserably. My new bff sighs and says "you're so straight". #
