'Serenity'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hec's craxy filing system
Ooh! I know this one! Is it B for Box and O for Other Box and T for Table and F for Floor? and U for Under the wardrobe where you really can't reach it? Because that's my system.

Yes! Although I've now varied the geography of my room by including a sort of waterfall feature created by clothing draped casually over the doors of the wardrobe.
...yeah. No wonder I'm single. I'm SUCH a slobby bachelor chick from hell.

vw, when you make that quilt, you should sew a few rhinestones on, so it glitters!
Sorry to commit such a craven request for ego-soothing, but my mood upon returning home from school was, "The kids hate me, I have no control over the classroom, they think my class is boring, I'm a terrible teacher." And, okay, you guys don't have any way of knowing whether I actually am a crap teacher or not, but you're pretty much all I've got -- I'm not the worst teacher in the world, right?

Hey, my piles of clothing are all for giving my cat extra choice of where to curl up....
Get a vicuna! Tiny camel and Em could ride her.
No, Emily, you are NOT the worst teacher, evah. Those kids are craxy to make you feel that way. And I even got a mini-math discussion out of you in my car, so I can say that with knowledge....

You're a great teacher. In fact, your few words here have insired me to learn more and build a bright new future for all of humankind.
Bitch blanket.

Oh, love. You really really are not the worst teacher in the world. When I was on my first placement, my mentor told me that in her first year of teaching, she figured she was doing okay to break even at a ratio of one goodish lesson to one lousy lesson - and that was with elementary kids, who are a much more enthusiastic and obedient audience.
What age are they, and what do you feel are your main problems with behaviour management? And what are you teaching them?
Because it will start off satirizing barbarian comics and then it'll become Pope and then it'll get all whiny and eventually it will die alone, unmourned and unloved. And then I'll have to haul the carcass out to the trash.
But it's an organic way to deal with the impending summer ant problem.
