msbelle, you missed all MY whining! I got you beat, believe me.

So you rethinking moving soon?

I have 50+ boxes. Probably only a few more to go. My desk is cleared off, mostly.

The kitchen ceiling fell in. But it is fixed and the cause solved.

I've been shaking since yesterday.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Because of lackof a pre-nup, the STBX-Mrs. Gibson could get half a billion.

I don't think when she married him thirty years and seven kids ago he was the sort of fella who had "pre-nup" high on his list of things you'd need.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

We have started the pre-parental visit cleanup. (My folks get here Friday on their way back North)

Perkins, I was just going to post about the vintage fluevog event.

So excited. VOGS VOGS VOGS!!!

Allyson, yay! I hope your work sitch gets resolved right quick!

Found out today that my department is losing 1/3 of its teachers.

Aw, jeez. Are you at risk?

Not that I know of. And I'm the third most senior teacher in the department.

Ah, jeez, Kat! How do they expect to be able to run a school with 1/3rd fewer teachers, damnit!

Ah, Prop 13, which caused my wounded husband to be fired in his hospital bed when he worked for the Ventura Country Fire Department

This reminded me of the story I heard on the radio this morning of a Madison, WI, nurse who was pulled out of the surgery she was assisting in to be told she was being laid off and she was immediately escorted to get her stuff and leave. The doctor said afterwards that he was able to conduct the rest of the operation to his satisfaction, but, still!!

Well it's only 7 teachers at the school total. We had class-size reduction in 9th grade in Math and English, so those departments are being impacted. Instead of 20 kids in each class, it will be 34.

We could do with 1/3rd fewer teachers if we had 1/3rd fewer kids.

Ugh. Now until June our house becomes all Hockey all the time. Or rather, Hockey or Deadliest Catch.
