I am alone in my office today, I'm listening to hip hop pretty loudly, and I'm pondering what to do for lunch.

OMG bucket.

I mean, I'm sure it sounds wonderful and elegant to some, but ew. I'll be left with cheese and crackers. Faantastic.

Seriously, you can go ahead and send me all of the leftover any of those!

I could pull out the amorous porpoises joke if Jesse is being insufficiently entertained.

I'm still scared. Or scarred. Anyway, my minion just came in saying she basically couldn't think of anything useful to do, so we wasted some time talking turkey. Literally. She's doing Thanksgiving at her house.

Veteran teachers already have their own buckets?

Dunno. I think veteran teachers are more likely to tell the kid to go outside, lockdown be damned. The best part? They were given at a required conference that new teachers went to on a Saturday and the shit bucket was given out at the first session. So the new folks had to carry the bucket around for hours and hours. On their day off.

Sue, it is Sock Dreams.

And, these are the specific tights that rock: [link]

A bucket!?! On one hand, if there was an apocalypse and all the bathrooms in the world got wiped out, I would be happy to have it, but I don't think I could go in front of students until it was a true emergency!

I get to have turkey on Sunday, at our Drama House Thanksgiving. And sure, it is college kids cooking the sides, but we cater the turkey so we don't get salmonella, and it is gooooood.

I reaaaallllly hope the lid closes tightly on the bucket.

Thanks Kat. I've always been tempted to order tights from here, but balked at the prices. Now that the Canadian dollar is strong I'm tempted. Besides, everytime I see my chiropractor lately, he seems to find a run or hole in the tights I'm wearing. (He's such a Virgo.)

I don't think I could go in front of students until it was a true emergency!

Um. And how weird and appalling would that be, to be 13 and having to use the bucket. No one would EVER forget it.

I reaaaallllly hope the lid closes tighly on the bucket.

Oddly no. But there is a heavy duty garbage bag liner.

So, the school district I teach in gave out buckets in case of a lockdown to new teachers. If there is a lockdown, no one can enter or leave classrooms until it is lifted. This is their solution to if kids need to go to the bathroom. shit bucket.

And do they include transfer forms for anyone that has to take a shit in front of their class? I mean, seriously, how would you face your students or classmates after having used this?

Sue, they are super great. Cotton. Comfy. Long lasting. I am still wearing ones I bought two years ago and they look fab. I even wore them when I was earlish pregnant and they were comfy.
