"Who are you? Time has stopped, the world is given over to...fairy tales and monsters, and there's a schoolteacher walking around?"

"Best kind of person to have," said Susan. "We don't like silliness."

Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

Stock background image with a out of focus clock and an in focus hourglass. The image is overlaid with a quote: "Just a minute," said Lobsang. "Who are you? Time has stopped, the world is given over to...fairy tales and monsters, and there's a schoolteacher walking around?" "Best kind of person to have," said Susan. "We don't like silliness. Anyway, I told you. I've inherited certain talents." "Like living outside of time?" "That's one of them." "It's a weird talent for a schoolteacher!" "Good for marking, though," said Susan calmly.

Applied Headology #8 the Susan Sto Helit Method for dealing with Mediocre, Angry, Gullible Arses.

#GNU #TerryPratchett #discworld #PratchettQOTD #Headology #witch #witchcraft #ThiefofTime
Dealing with the Mediocre, Angry, Gullible Arses The Sto Helit Method Rather than correcting someone's bad behavior, grade it. Pull out your metaphorical Red Pen and circle all of the bits found wanting. If an insult is attempted, critique on execution, originality, language usage, and erroneous assumptions.* *Followed by a lecture, of no less than 15 minutes, on all the ways they should have done it better. Any attempts at menacing should be met with commentary on body language, wardrobe, vocal intonation and style.** **Followed 3 minute diatribe on presence, projection, costuming and a referral to a local acting academy. Be sensible, exacting and enunciate clearly. They should know how to do these things properly. With a girl with white hair that has a black streak dressed as DEATH in a cowl carrying a scythe.

I’m in this footnote #DiscWorld #ThiefOfTime #TerryPratchett
A screen shot from Terry Pratchett’s “Thief of Time” showing a portion of the text as the character Susan Sto Helit thinking, “Damndamndamndamn! It was nougat inside! Her one chocolate today and it was damn artificial damn pink-and-white…” and the footnote “This is true. A chocolate you did not want to eat does not count as chocolate. This discovery is from the same branch of culinary physics that determined that food eaten while walking along contains no calories.”

“Oh,” he said, and added with sudden certainty, “you’re Death, right?” YES. I AM SORRY THAT I AM LATE. The spirit formerly known as Shoblang looked down at the pile of dust that represented his worldly habitation for the previous six hundred years. “So am I,” he said. He nudged Death in the ribs. EXCUSE ME? “I said ‘I’m sorry I’m late.’ Badabingbadaboom.” I BEG YOUR PARDON? “Er…you know…sorry I’m late. Like…dead?” Death nodded. OH, I SEE. IT WAS THE BADABINGBADABOOM I DID NOT UNDERSTAND. “Er…that was to show it was a joke,” said Shoblang. AH, YES. I CAN SEE HOW THAT WOULD BE NECESSARY. IN FACT, MR. SHOBLANG, WHILE YOU ARE LATE, YOU ARE ALSO EARLY. BADABING-BADABOOM.

There was something pleasant about an empty classroom. Of course, as any teacher would point out, one nice thing was that there were no children in it, and particularly no Jason.

#ThiefOfTime by #TerryPratchett.

If the Sweeper hadn't needed help in the streets of Ankh-Morpok, Ronny Soak never would have become involved like that. And Soak ended up helping far more than just a nice cup of tea with rancid yak butter.

Soak was pretty good with butter...and other things.
