Oh boy. Zoe found a spider (again.)

I should give a play-by-play.

And if you asked my dad how to spell a word, or the answer to some factoid like where Nigeria was, he'd say...

 

[snowbear154 84]

Too late. Zoey: 2, spiders: 0

 

[sm4him]

Look it up.

 

[snowbear154 84]

That's what I did with my kids. They hated it, when I told them that, but

I gotta somehow summon enough energy to stand up and get dressed for work.

Andrew thanked me a while back. He realized it helped him with critical thinking.

 

[sm4him]

Do you have actual hardcopy dictionaries, or do you make them look stuff up online?

Encyclopedias: I meant that, not dictionaries. I'm sick.

Meh, go in like you are and tell them your sick. Maybe they'll take pity and give you a raise, or something.

I love real encyclopedias! Even though some of the information is always outdated.

The way things are right now, they would express heartfelt sympathy then throw more work at me. And tell me they need it back by the end of the day.

No hard copies anymore. We had a small set years ago, when the kids were small. I'd like to get a hardcopy set but they're expensive and we just don't have the room right now.

And every time I go to look up a word in the dictionary, I end up spending a few minutes just looking at random new words and their meanings.

 

[snowbear154 84]

Oh, I know that feeling.
So, you are government, or is the bus a contract?
