Happy Birthday ChiKat!

I finally have movers booked, so now I am going to see if I can get a walkthrough of the new apartment today to take measurements and draw out my floorplan grid.

Well if the kids have actually done something illegal then game over. If they really didn't do anything strictly illegal, then I'd call it matter of if this was done at school.

On the surface it sounds like the parents should be upset with the kids, and not suing the school regardless of free speech or whatnot. I don't want to condemn the parents though as there may be details that I don't know about.

Please tell me not to go next door and appropriate some cookies. They'll just make me feel sick. I have no idea why I want them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am really not into being at work today.

You know if the school ignored the pictures and these kids went Columbine on the school, then someone would have pointed to those MySpace pictures and say "someone should have done something".

I don't know anything about this particular situation, but I will say that suspending kids doesn't actually do anything to stop them from coming to the school to do bad things, if that's what they want.

Oh, and apparently I missed two different sets of cupcakes yesterday! WTF.

Maybe you have some sort of mental block that prevents you from seeing cupcakes. Have you had bad experiences with cupcakes in the past?

Heh. No, I was out of the office, and the cupcakes were in the office.
