what you say when your dance teacher tells you to run it from the top for the 50th time after 2 hours of rehearsal and 3 hours of rigorous studying

Get the no my goshmug. 
The phrase "that's my bark to peel" refers to an artistic concept wherein an artist is to decide the meaning and content of their art. It can also be used in a similar way to "that's my axe to grind", meaning that it's your business to deal with.
"That's my bark to peel" as in "that's my art to create", "that's my bark to peel" as in "I dictate the meaning of my piece". In some ways this idiom can lie directly contrary to the artistic concept of The Death of the Author, a concept which has the viewer as the decider on the pieces meaning.
This idiom was created by Canadian writers Andy Zuliani and Cassie Mifflin based off Mifflin's short story "Cold Pudding and the Last Great Maritimer" wherein she included a line after her bark was stolen by artist Ruben Moller where she said "That's my bark to peel". Andy would then go on to coin the phrase's meaning while discussing her work and then further what that moment meant, telling her that "If a professor is ever making you tear apart your work more than you'd like, just tell them 'that's my bark to peel.'"

Originating from 30 year olds living in their parents basement because they thought they could get a masters degree. And it qualified them for any work they chose despite zero work experience.

Get the Live in my basementmug. I don't have a problem with my behavior. I don't have a problem with the elements of my life that a therapist would have me change. I have a problem with both being harassed at work and not being duely compensated for my property and labor.
Hym "And I'm NOT, NOT PAYING MYSELF AM I? I'M NOT WATCHING ME TAKE A DIARRHEA SHIT AM I EMMA FROM THE MAJORITY REPORT? AM I HARASSING MYSELF AT WORK? DID I TELL NOAH KROLL (THE RETARD AT THE GROUP HOME IN WHICH I WORKED) WHAT WROTE HERE OR WAS MY PRIVACY BEING INVADED AS PART OF A SURVEILLANCE APPARATUS? IS MY WORK BEING MONETIZED BY SOMEONE OTHER THAN ME? THESE ARE MY 'PROBLEMS' AND IF YOU ARE HERE YOU ARE EITHER PARTICIPATING ACTIVELY OR COMPLICIT IN THE COVER UP AND IF I CAN'T GET TO YOU, AN INNOCENT WILL BE PUNISHED IN YOUR STEAD. I'M AM NOT BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE FOR MY PROBLEMS. I'M BLAMING THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THING THEY ARE DOING TO ME. IT ISN'T LITTLE SUSIE-AT-GAMESTOP-WHO-WANTS-TO-BUY-A-TOY-FOR-DAN'S FAULT YOU'RE DOING THIS AND THE FED WHO FOLLOWED ME TO THE STORE WAS A STEP BEHIND AND ALWAYS WILL BE A STEP BEHIND BUT SHE WILL BE THE ONE WHO PAYS THE PRICE!"
