Checking Spelling, Checking Jargon

The number of words one has to add to Microsoft Word's spellcheck dictionary seems to me to be a very good indication of the amount of jargon in our discipline. It also makes me realize that there are some words that I seldom use. (Or perhaps I just didn't bother to add them when I did use them.) Is it possible that I've not typed the word "structuralist" since I got a new computer two years ago?

Snow Day, Please

I'm doing my as-yet-unpatetented "snow day dance" so that I might appease the Snow Gods so that they might bestow enough of the white stuff on our fair hamlet for there to be no school tomorrow. Dance with me, won't you?

The sad thing is, I want a snow day so that I can get more work done. How I long for the days when a snow day meant sitting home and watching Bob Ross paint happy little trees.
