Of course December and May are particularly deadly months for grandparents and elderly aunts and uncles. But no lie--I had a friend whose father died suddenly on the last day of class (Thus, right before exams.) However, it did not result in my missing any class or exams, though I did attend the funeral.

FWIW, the Facebook profile picture of the girl who said her dad died is a picture of herself as a little girl with her dad.

On a semi-related note, I feel that people under-utilize use the email search capabilities of Facebook. It's a lot easier than searching for a name.

google translate mostly gets the job done but doesn't really understand the subtleties of language IMO

Managed to get onto a substitute list at a local school district for the first time. Hopefully, I can parlay this into something bigger eventually.

best part is, she was sitting in front of our door doing her makeup. when we got upstairs, we heard a fight brewing, which is what led the cops to showing up. Maybe they take most Monday's off like the Phils
