Oh, dear! That does sound worrisome. Get out, L.

Having seen you fairly recently, I feel I can say for certain that you look neither pregnant nor swollen.

Yeah, and I've heard some of his other threats- and seen the aftermath of a few violent outbursts.

I really don't like the idea of her being all the way up in that suburb where I'm not if something goes down.

Daisy that is really scary. I hope she has a safe place to go to get away from him if necessary.

Aimee, I'm sorry about #1 place. If you must go work for the asshat, make sure you get an internet connection so we can type you off the ledge and help you find a place to hide the bodies.

DJ, that's a very scary email and I hope he goes away and stays away.

lisah, congratulations!

Hey, all. I feel grey, like a bargain-bin roast. End of school year-ness.

Well, graduation was Saturday, and it was great, even though it spit rain at us most of the time. It was the first one where I really had seniors I was close to, so I cried like a baby and was grateful for the extra-long sleeves on a Master's robes. I used them to wipe my eyes.

Then I had a nice weekend at home with my parents, who I hadn't visited in a while. Tuesday, though, I come to school to find out there was a drive-by at our valedictorian's graduation party Sat. night, and one of last year's seniors (and the brother of one of my favorite graduating senior girls) was shot. It was touch and go for a while, but he is alive, and will be able to walk with therapy. At least the drive-by wasn't by anyone AT our school, but it pisses me off so much. Our val. doesn't even run with a gang, although many of her friends claim one. It's a fucking GRADUATION party.

Finals start tomorrow, and then Worlds of Fun Monday, and ProfDevt till 6/8, and then I start summer school on 6/15. Woo. Although, yeah! money.

Also, we are losing 4 teachers, and hiring 1 or 2 additional ones. We have a pretty good dynamic, staff-wise, so I am a little nervous about next year. Also am losing my fellow English teacher, and I love her! She's great. This means I am Senior English teacher person, which cracks my shit up. Rumor has it we have already hired the new Eng teacher, and she's from the school my co-worked used to work at and is going back to (better bennies for childcare) and she says she's heard nothing but good things about her, so that's good.

Mememememe. Sorry.

Tommyrot, so sorry about Senor Sock. *sniff* It sounds like he was a happy kitty.

For those who need cheering. Omnis_Audis posted the link in his lj a few days ago and I have fallen in love with this young hummingbird. Today he has been testing his wings frequently (you can tell when his sides go all blurry) so I fear he might not be on camera much longer but the login/password is guest/guest. Hummingbird Cam

Daisy, hope your friend moves out quickly.

Aimee, if you do end up with asshat, I'd look at it as a temp job even though he doesn't. Keep sending out resumes, keep looking, and wear interview clothes to work everyday, so your dress does not arouse comment when you do go on interviews. It is pretty obvious he plans to screw you, so get premptive on his ass.
