How do you do this? I just sat through a 2 hour long middle school band concert, and I am EXHAUSTED. How the hell do you do this for 7 hours a day every day?! I wasn't even in charge of keeping anyone alive, to say nothing of forcing knowledge into their brains; I was just existing in the space with 150 teenagers and their brass instruments, and I am in desperate need of a gummy, a nap, and a double dose of birth control.

(For the record, the music varied from fine to excellent, and the behavior wasn't eggregious. It was just a lot of everything.

Ohh, and they invited the high school marching band to play the opening set to drum up interest for the incoming class. Multiple snare drums and cymbals marching down the isles of a cinderblock auditorium is simply too much of everything.)

Anyway, thank you all, and a special toast to those who surround themselves with middle schoolers and loud instruments that they don't know how to play.

Yesterday, our AC unit started making terrible sounds and blowing warm air. We called a repairman. He first checked in the attic and diagnosed us as needing a new blower motor. The unit is from 2003, so we decided to replace the whole thing. Ouch, but ok.

Then I offhand asked him to look at the outside unit where I heard the worst sounds, and he diagnosed the capacitor as being blown. He replaced the capacitor in a few minutes, and it fired right up and sounded normal.

He says that this isn't the only problem and that the blower still has to be replaced, blaming power fluctuations on taking both out at once. (We had regional storms and a power outage a week ago, but it has worked since then.) We have used this company in the past, and they have actually fixed tiny issues without even charging a service fee (notably an embarrassing example of the heat not working at the beginning of the season because the gas line was still closed after a months-old unrelated repair). So, I generally trust them, but 2 unrelated issues at the same time feels odd, and $3400 is worth getting right.

Does this sound reasonable?

My dog has torn off a nail. It is very tender, but she will walk on it if sufficiently distracted. There is blood where she slept, but not puddles of it; it does not seem to be bleeding anymore. Two questions:

1. Does this warrant an after-hours visit to a specialty vet? (I would take her in if it was a weekday.)
2. Can you recommend a vet? I don't think this really qualifies as an 'emergency', but perhaps as 'urgent'. I'm not wanting to get surprised by a $500 bill or something, but I also want to take care of my girl. We are in East Memphis but willing to drive a bit.

Professor here.

I am looking back over my grades to check for a particular oddity (2 students swapped lab groups mid-semester), and I am finding many more.

When I look in Speed Grader, I see one score, but when I check the Grades table, there is a different one. It seems like Canvas is assigning grades based on the wrong lab groups, but I have checked who is in what lab group under People, and I have checked which set of lab groups each assignment pulls from in the assignment settings. What am I missing? This is about to be a HUGE headache. Argh!
