Vortex - hazardous waste, household hazardous waste, and universal waste (for large quantity generators of mildly dangerous stuff). Is this for you personally or work?

eta have you tried Earth 911?

If it's something specific and/or weird, I may be able to help, feel free to tell me here or email me.

Nora!!! You are so pretty and you do the dress justice. I thought about buying that same dress in the brown colors, but decided it was too much like a dress I already have to justify the money.

bonny, it’s good to see you around again!

Kristin and Drew, I’m glad you’re home, but Mr. Byron needs to not do these things. Y’all need a break.

Teachers have "common planning" from 7-8; however, we will have at least one meeting/planning/stupid-crap-I-gotta-do commitment each week.

My school also has a “common plan” from 8-9 (I teach middle school and we start at 9). But, 1 day per week I have a team meeting with an academic team. Another day I have outdoor duty. Once a month I have a team meeting with the other exploratory teachers. Blah blah blah.

BUT, I do have another plan period during the day, too. Our classes are 44 minutes and we have 7 periods. We also have a 26 minute advisory at the end of the day. I teach 6 classes plus an advisory.

I think the "favorite part" at my school was when we were told that football would essentially be untouched as it is the only thing that is "profitable".

Lovely. Just lovely. Our district was thinking of eliminating the drama program from the middle schools 2 years ago because all 4 drama teachers were leaving that year and the admin figured it would be a good time. Luckily, the community banded together and made him promise publicly that he wouldn’t cut the arts programs. He hasn’t, but it’s because of the parents and the businessmen in the area.

Of course, my school is the only one that doesn’t even have a cafetorium. We perform in a “multipurpose room” which is a ½ gym.

Shallow fashion and craft question! (Yeah, I know, Minearverse is the craft thread.)

Do I want to get this t-shirt to cut apart and applique onto a ruffly skirt? I kinda think I do.

(And someone remind me not to search for "vampire shirt" on eBay, please. A gazillion listings for Twilight-related t-shirts, gack.)

It's only going to get worse, what with the new book out in a week and then the movie. *sigh*

{{{Sean}}} I'm glad you have people nearby to talk stuff over with, but if there's anything I can do...

Vortex, HAZMAT?

(hmmm...maybe HAZMAT is my new screen name. Or band name. Since Xbox won't let me use Shanghaied by Fucktards on Live.)

I just remembered this vid (speaking of being stuck) from Ira Glass: Working Through the Suck.

take care of yourself, Sean

I'm sorry, Sean.

Is this for you personally or work?

for me. I have some lightbulbs and an old monitor to get rid of. I don't just want to chuck them into the trash, but I couldn't figure out the magic words to use on DC's website.

Getting rid of monitors can be a PITA Vortex. I know DH always takes them to a hazardous e-waste place for disposal.

Oh, Sean, I'm so sorry, for you and for S, and for having to wrestle with such a difficult decision. You've been in my thoughts a lot over the last few weeks, with all the difficult days you were having.

Patsy Cline doesn't ease your sorrows, exactly, but she makes you feel so much less alone in them.
