I did not kill any of my students today. I consider this an accomplishment.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Not only did I not kill students, I also did not kill teachers.
I expect to be canonized shortly.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
About the only thing I didn't say today was, "Don't eat that! That's your own fur, dumbshit."

Shit I didn't say:
"You're going to do it BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO. Also, take your attitude and shove it up your thirteen-year-old ASS."
"Why should you have to clean up after other classes? Well, y'ain't doing shit so far as learning goes, so I figure you might want to get some cleaning experience in." Oh, and that first sentence all over again.
Ooh, and also: "Hey, you know what's really helpful in making me a better teacher? When you interrupt me to give suggestions about what I should be doing in front of the students."

Beverage Container Recycling Income
When I was in Maine this past summer, there was a family in the house next to ours who had a whole bunch of kids. Two of the boys, ages 10 and 12 or so, went through the neighborhood each trash day with wagons and bike trailers and went through the stuff that everyone was throwing out, collecting bottles and cans. They brought them back to their house, sorted them, and paid their older brother to drive them to the recycling center. They ended up making something like $2000 over the course of the summer.

Things Safeway has substituted that I wish they hadn't:
- sharp cheddar for extra sharp
- sea salt pita chips for Greek Flavor pita chips
- mild salsa for medium
Substitutions in general, I get -- one size for another or one brand for another -- but here they've actually sort of changed the product that I ordered!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Shit I didn't say:
- No, I'm not seeing anyone. Please don't do this. Okay, I'm lying to be nice.
- Dammit! That hurt! I want to whine now, and be coddled.
- How dare you not be attracted to girls like me!
- I wonder if the fact that you're attracted to girls like me will ever be relevant.
- Who are you calling girlie???
- Hire me. Right now.
I really need a job. Spending full days at the krav centre is making me altered.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Shit I didn't say today:
Have you directed a show before?

Mostly lurking...
Shit I didn't say...I don't think I left anything unsaid today.
Anyone up and about?
