it's possible the holiday was booked before she started the job and they're letting her take time off for the holiday? tbh she only works a few hours a week, and i doubt she's doing anything thats important to pupils' learning so it's not like she'd be missed... it seems like a very casual and informal job. she probably just gets paid by the hour.

She’s entered her Dadaist era. ”You can still get one while you can x”

Or she could be referring to the fact that it’s physically possible to spend money on a pile of flimsy crap whilst you’re doing something actually useful, such as preserving fruits and vegetables in cans or jars. At this point, who the fuck knows. Eat a meal, Roobee, your remaining 2 brain cells will thank you for it.



edit: what is she looking at in this picture? It’s not the screen. It’s not the mug. Is there a pile of charity cash floating just outside the window?

"you can still get one while you can" meaning ...? while they are so cheap or while they are available? while they don't fall apart? while you can afford the lower price?

Thank you, StatusWoe, for giving me the title, Crimes Against Paper, for my complaint email to a stationary company that I bought overpriced, so-called fountain pen-friendly notebooks from. They are, in fact, not friendly! One can even call it Erimenthaesquestic, really.

Increasingly, I don’t believe that it was a ‘traditional job’ - or at least, not in the way that most of us would understand it. I get the impression that Ruby probably wasn’t even being paid, but had offered her time for a few hours a week, presumably for something to put on her Master’s application to look like she actually did something with her year off. She’s been so shifty about this job. I completely appreciate that there’s a limited amount that she could share but she seems to have been working for at most three hours a day, for two days a week, for half a term. Maybe the holiday was pre-booked but I wouldn’t call what she’s been doing a job, it’s much more like voluntary work.

Sorry, but it had to be done…

As I laboured
O'er the paypyrian pages
Bound by spires o' metallic twine
My quill halted its trajectorious flight
'cross the parchment.
The seagulls spiraled o'erhead
'pon a canvas of cerulean magenta
and voluminous clouds of cloudy volume,
their cawing cry rang out:
"Canst yee get one whilst yee can?"
I threw open the windows
and whispered with the hesitant glee
o' a Christmas morn...
"Indeed, my seagull friend.
For that which can be got,
you still can get."
He flew towards the horizon
his curiosity abated.
As was mine.

If ruby was only doing her traditional job and it was something like spending a few hours a week helping in English lessons, why was she listed as a 'teacher,' ? I wouldn't have classified her as being one, maybe a teaching assistant at most but I felt odd with her being called a 'teacher '
