I only have about a week until I am (joyfully) gainfully UNemployed. I’ve, at this point, decided that my new montra is, “I don’t GIVE a shit.”
And, in the glorious spirit of apathy, I have decided that if anyone needs my help, they can leave a message, and we’ll *see* if I get back to them.
At the moment, I’m attempting to finish a final exam that I have NO interest in writing. Oh, by the way, for those who don’t know this, I’m at the last leg of my teaching career. No, I’m not retiring, I’m removing myself from the MAGNIFICANT pile of bullshit called, “school politics,” and am looking towards moving into another field. Like, something that doesn’t involve book fines, backtalk, pencil sharpeners, and papercuts.
What is it with teaching? When I’m teaching, I get papercuts here and there. My hands hurt. My eyes hurt. I gain the “teacher twenty.” More than anything else, I find that my weekends are spent AWAKE until 2am and up at 8am.
In a week, I get to rejoin the life of leisure. Sleeping in. Going to bed late. In other words, screwing up my schedule…again.
Anyway, I will post again when I think about what witty reparte I wanna share. Until then, watch out for rogue monkeys and their flying chipmunks. They’re hell on a windshield!

Congrats on being a cool kid.
You can move your entries over…if you are super gold or maybe even just gold, you can download your entries in a document. If not, you can move them over one at a time. It takes about 30 seconds per entry, so it would take awhile. But you can backdate them here and keep them in order. I did an entry a few entries back about moving them over if you need help. Welcome!

I found the most irritating teaching-related syndrome I would get was a permanant black mark on the side of my writing hand, from all the time I spent writing on the whiteboard, and all the ol’ marker rubbing off onto my hand. Used to pee me off hellofalot to have to keep washing one hand
