Randomly, when visiting last weekend with brother and family we talked a lot about names because they are expecting a boy in December. My SiL, who is a 2nd grade teacher, says she never hears kids teasing each other about odd names anymore. Like, that's no longer a thing kids do.

I thought it was kind of interesting. Maybe there is just a lot more variety of names now then when we were growing up so kids are used to it.

Cancer sucks, bites, blows and can go blow Dick Cheney, and I wish it would, so it'd leave all the good decent people alone.

But don't give Dick Cheney the pleasure of a blow job, carcinogenic that i may be!

we'll just get Kara to keep an eye on them.

She'd feed them ham.

Suzi, I'm so sorry about L.

I definitely think that Raq should be out of town.

Lisah, the kids in Kara's class are from many different ethnicities, and their names reflect that. She's gotten quite used to some names that seem unusual to me, but she doesn't blink at anything. Of course, she's gotten into naming her stuffed animals thinks like, "cutie flower pinkie pie".

Cancer sucks ass.

Bears repeating and repeating and repeating...

Fuck cancer.

Cancer should be beaten with a dead horse.

Cancer should be locked in a room with the nasty woman I just got off the phone with.

Ok - so that my posts are not ALL doom and gloom.

A coworker just brought by car wash tickets for the local middle school. I have no cash with me today, but she was just giving them away. She knows I live near the school, and I notorized something for her recently, so FREE CAR WASH!!!

Sometimes you have to grab onto the little things.

She'd feed them ham.

snerk I don't wanna know where she'd get the ham.

okay, so we know that I'm not happy here. The phone calls that I've recieved in the last 10 minutes illustrate why.

Phone call 1: mother calls. Her kid has strep, but doesn't have the $10 to get her meds because "she's not good with money". Mom overnights money. Kid tracks package, it arrived at 10:30 this morning. Kid goes to get package in dorm. Desk people don't have package. Mother calls me. Mother actually asked me if "someone" could "advance her a few dollars"

Phone Call 2: (background)I sent out an email that said in nice way "those of you who have fucked up by not filling out this form like we told you in April, June, July and on Facebook need to send me an email with X, Y, Z info" I deliberately did not give them my phone number because I want a record of who contacted me. Then a student calls me and says "I got your email on my phone. You said to email, but I cant' send email from the phone, so I thought I'd just call". I put her on hold for five minutes on GP

PLEASE GOD LET ME FIND A NEW JOB!!
