Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.
'Never Leave Me'
Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

“Not dead yet!”
Ahhh... momentous occasion. One of my friends took both kids for a sleepover, so I had the opportunity to have a date with my husband. Dinner at a restaurant that did not automatically hand us crayons and paper placemats... a walk... there is now cheesecake for dessert as we watch Michael Phelps continue to take over the world.
I really am a simple woman.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Eh, sounds like at least you don't have to do as much prep work for the new classes they sprung on you? Way to not have to tune in as much for work...um...and more time to look for another job?
To a degree. It's really weird they way they have things set up. The selections are ones that fit their teaching methods and interests exclusively. Bending to their ideals takes quite a bit of time. If they want me to use their lesson plans, worksheets, quizzes and such, they should just give that to me. Instead it's a list of decrees they expect with no flexibility for anything else.
Their philosophy is that it works perfectly for them so it's the perfect way to do things. They resist anything progressive or different. I mentioned using several plays to cover material, with the book being support material, and might as well have slapped them. One of them sniffed and told me, "we don't do things that way." The funniest part is I have more teaching experience than either of them even though they are both older teachers.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
ND's mom's caregiver dropped her and broke her ankle so badly that the bone was sticking out.
This is the stuff of which my nightmares are made.
Dear Universe:
I have some nice fresh catnip growing in my yard. Howsabout I make you some nice tea from it, so you can chill out and stop with the harassing the Design family, eh?
We can sit down and have a nice chat over a cup of the tea with Gadget Girl's DD and the English Dept. at her school and help them mellow a bit, too.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
