The past few years of teaching have totally motivated me to move on to bigger and better things. I'm not sure where I want to go- PhD? new job? Educational policy? But in any case, my days of hands-on teaching are going to be over soon.

It's sad how many good teachers are being driven away by red tape, administrative bullshit, lack of contract, using standardized test scores to assess teachers, etc. 

I will SO VERY TOTALLY DRINK TO MOTHERFUCKING SUMMER VACATION THOUGH!

School went way too long this year, and I suspect the temps near you weren't any better (and might have been WORSE) than they were where I was subbing.  BUT IT'S OVER!  Now I can melt in the privacy of my third floor apartment where it's naked time if I goddamn well say it is!  Also cold and/or stiff drinks as I see fit to temper the weather.  Win/win.

No weeks under 30 hours this month, and 2 weeks (if you count this one) at or near 40.  So that's awesome (certainly more awesome than averaging 25 hours like I did these past 2 months).  Had to bite into my savings to make ends meet, and it's irritating that it's going to take probably about 6 months to recoup the damage I did to my bank account in 4 weeks, but at least I'm on the road to recovery.

Really can't complain about life right now.


... Well, I can. But I choose not to. Riding the positive vibes.

That is slightly less than 14x the size of my current living space.  And in LA?  Good lord.

Waiting on a package, courtesy of Mr. G...I'm going to be one of the first to hear something which hasn't been released yet (no, r00, not Floyd).  (Still there is no :smug: emoticon!)

But in the Boo-urns column (I'm too lazy to make a seperate post), am very worried about him and the missus having to go to Greece right now (worried about the whole damn country, really, but we tend to make these things personal after all).

OMG and then he totally surprised me with a copy of the collector's edition of Kate's Director's Cut featuring a very special addition:

NICE!


I get a three day weekend this week. Granted its the middle of the week. But I don't give a shit (just like the honey badger). THREE days OFF! The only other holiday I get an extra day off is xmas, and that is just cuz the store is closed... So I'm super happy!!!!! And then I work 4 days and get some vacation time off to do nothing, and go to a family reunion.

But I don't give a shit (just like the honey badger).

This almost made me snort my coffee.  I love that the honey badger just doesn't give a shit, and find myself saying that often.

The wow guild I'm in had that video a long while ago. So my roommate and I watched and loved it. And I told a coworker to watch it as well. We say it a lot at work. It's amazing.


Work was good. I had to stay late, but I was busy the whole day, so went by very fast...

[Naylzie]

Plus holiday pay, too, right?

I'm celebrating being vertical right now.  We had a pretty chill 4th.  Being that our anniversary also happens to fall on that weekend and the Beloved works 6 days a week, staying in and relaxing is pretty awesome.  Spent the majority of the day playing video games, and the evening drinking and playing video games.  When we turned in, I was pretty convinced I was going to wake up with the first hangover I've had in ages, but I am not only out of bed considerably earlier than I usually am if I'm not working, but also neither sick nor nursing a migraine. 

As for yesterday...  That was a lot of goddamn Jager.  I also learned that I don't get as drunk as I used to from Jager and Red Bull.  So many people are all like, "Oh, it doesn't get you as drunk (or at least you don't feel it) because of the Red Bull," but that shit used to knock me silly after two.  We did... 4?  6?  I forget    Long and short though, I was barely buzzing rather than completely smashed to oblivion.

In passing I told a friend that I wanted to play the game "The Oregon Trail" I'm not sure how many of you played it/remember it. However, it is a old game. For the old old school apple computers. Like Green screen graphics. And you used floppy disks that were HUGE.

ANYHOO I just played. And while as a young kid the only point was to hunt. I also completed it. OH YA.


However, TPD got dysentery. (One of my roommates broke his leg, the other broke his arm. However, I didn't loose an ox, and no one died.)

My cousin successfully defended his thesis on Tuesday, which makes 3 Ph.D.'s in the family (soon to be 4 and possibly 5 if my ne'er-do-well cousin at the University of South Carolina can keep his shit together long enough).  This guy might be the smartest guy I know (bearing in mind that my brother received the FIRST Ph.D. in the family), triple majoring as an undergraduate in mathematics, physics and classical studies, getting his doctorate in High Energy Physics and spending several years working as a grad-student at the CERN laboratories in Switzerland.

I know I'll never be that smart, so I live vicariously through my relatives.
