In meme news, one of my colleagues has had a bit of a mental breakdown (it's been weeks in the making, but we kept hoping the meds were helping)
Was this the young, perfectionist teacher, Kristin?
'Help'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Barb, yep, that's the one. Love her to pieces, but...yeah. She's out today and will probably be out tomorrow and who knows how long after that. I was only supposed to teach periods 1, 5, and 6 today; instead, I'm teaching 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 and making up lesson plans on the fly.
Oh, ugh. You know, I have to wonder what's going on with these young teachers. That girl who had a breakdown and went missing in NY for a couple of weeks was also a young teacher as well. Are they just not getting enough practical experience before being thrown into the mix?

Oh! Has she been found?
ION, my taco al pastor from the tortilleria in my work neighborhood is the yum! I wish I had more of them!!!
Yeah, Lisa, about three weeks after she disappeared:
She claimed afterward that she was suffering from "dissociative fugue."
I don't think that this is a teacher thing so much as a pre-existing condition, in my colleague's case. Either way, worrying and sad.
Well, good thoughts headed her way and teaching/patience ~ma for you, sweetie.
I just found out that there may be a grilled cheese cart in my neighborhood on Friday nights. If true = AWESOMENESS!
Seriously! I want to live in Lisa's neighborhood.
BTW, happy birthday to all of those birthdaying today.
I broke my printer at work. It won't feed paper at all. GRR. ARGH.
Remember the monkey waiter I posted about last week? Here's a video: Monkey Waiter Makes Me Sad for Some Reason
Mac and I are homeward bound. Because these are cheapy tickets we have one connection. When I bought the tickets the layover for the connections was an hour and a half, then they changed the flights and we now have 4 hours!! I am crossing all fingers that we can snag 2 standby seats together on one of the two earlier flights.
