That would literally solve every problem I have.I'm dreading school being out partly as the end of an era and partly because I'm going to lack distractions from getting wrapped up in my own head and the catastrophizing that always happens when I am left to my own devices. Especially because this is a huge life change coming up - there's a whole lot of worst case to scenario.The false vacuum could spontaneously collapse into a lower energy state, unmaking the universe as we know it...
Uh...
I am not helping, am I?
But, to quote the Tick: "The universe?! That's where I keep my stuff!"

And through it all, just constant lying. From the kids and their parents.
That's the one that constantly gets to me. The kids could leave behind a school sweater, a folder with their itinerary, and one of their signed permission slips naming the student and the student would say, "Wasn't me, someone must have stolen it!"
And then their adult (parent or chaperone) would agree with them! "Oh, yeah! We were outside their doors the entire time so they couldn't possibly have done it! It must have been the kids from another school trying to frame us!"The flagrant, in-your-face lying in spite of concrete evidence proving your guilt is exhausting to me.

It's the same energy as "I didn't plagiarize." "Then why does the document history show the paper went from blank to 3 pages in 2 seconds, and why does the text match the Wikipedia article word-for-word?"

For me, flagrant lying to defend yourself is a built-in defense mechanism that you at least have to work somewhat to overcome. It's a character flaw.
But lying to "protect" your kids? That is the road to raising a true sociopath.
The one guy I know of who was convicted of and jailed for murder in my school year? In 3rd grade a friend and I reported him to the principal's office for attacking us after school. The principal brought in his parents. They listened to what we had to say, then said, "Oh, our little angel could never have done that! We raised him right!"
And year after year, report after report, his parents denied that he could possibly be the monster everyone else was describing.
I hope they're enjoying watching their little "angel" spend his life in prison.
EDIT: Amusingly enough, when I chaperoned the kids (almost) universally appreciated me, because if I exonerated them, there were no further questions. Everyone knew that if I knew they did it, I'd throw them under the bus, and if I didn't know, I'd say I didn't know.

Sorry, shipping trucks have been melting in the heat, we’re trying to get some support from Acme but their help line is a bunch of birds.
My good friend, you do not know the half of it.

I would be willing to wager almost everything I own that they're sitting at home ranting about how the justice system was "weaponized" against their innocent child and how he's still not responsible/not to blame.
I've seen waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many people in similar or the exact same situations who demand even to the judge's face that there's no way they or their kid could have been responsible and some ludicrous conspiracy is more "likely" and how it's a failure of justice and the meddling of (insert political, social, racial, LGBT, etc. group they don't like here) who are the REAL criminals here.

In MUCH lighter news, I think it says something about the way you're raising your kittens when you raise your arms, roar at them, and walk towards them menacingly, and they just pop their tails straight up and watch you with big eyes, wondering, "Ooooh! What are you going to do next?"

Quizlet review
Student A:WOOOOOOOOO! Tigers win!
Student B:Yeah if this was a boxing match, the T-Rexes woulda killed ya.
Me: That...seems like a boxing match gone wrong.
Student B: No, cause we're the T-Rexes!
Me: How is a T-Rex with its tiny arms winning a boxing match?
Student B: Headbutts.

All's fair in war!
I appreciate the willingness to hear me out, but I'm just going to summarize.
A metric f!@$ton of noise complaints, resulting in at least one guest checking out early because they didn't want to deal with it anymore.
A handful of complaints of them running around the parking lot unsupervised, resulting in several near misses.
Some minor vandalism/destruction of property (specifically plants/landscaping).
And through it all, just constant lying. From the kids and their parents.
Is this reaching a level where I have to forfeit more room parties?
Cyz successfully presented her CRP proposal yesterday and can continue forward in her program. It also means she is allowed to submit her paperwork for internship.
Congrats!

An even more exclusive breed than the Cornish Rex, too.
Orthos and I are planning a room party when we visit Chicago.
...okay, it's more accurate to say "I'm not letting going out of town stop us from gaming, fire up the ol' Discord." But a D&D party is a party, and it is gonna be in the room...
