{{Shir}} I'm so sorry, Lou looked like a real sweetheart.

Drew, love, I'm so sorry. I know I keep saying that, but it makes me so mad that I can't be there to comfort or distract you.

{{{Shir}}} I'm sorry for your loss. You gave Lou a loving home and every chance he could have; I'm certain he knew it.

Can you go back and make a list of when you DID sub, at least, and kinda be like even if you don't know when all you were ASKED, you know when you did? Or something? Maybe it's just a feeling on her part, and facts might help?

I did do this (what I had recorded, anyway, which isn't all of the days) and sent it to my dept chair just in case she needs to go to bat for me with the director, but I'm trying hard to let it go otherwise. It just isn't worth it. Feh. It just left a bad taste in my mouth, you know?

In happier news, I took Byron to the vet and discovered that his congested coughing is a mild upper respiratory infection that I caught early enough to treat easily. He has antibiotics and is getting scritches now. I also just spoke to the teacher whose class I'm teaching next week for the interview, and she has a great sense of humor and seems excited to meet me. Hurray! Maybe the whole passive aggressive thing at my current school is meant by the universe to make the decision easier if I get this job. Yes, I think I am choosing to believe that this is the case.

I'm so sorry, Shir.

Yes, I think I am choosing to believe that this is the case.

Moi, aussi.

BWAH!

Every time I apply to a job at a school in Indiana, I'm earwormed with "Gary Indiana" for the rest of the day. I've spent the past two days trying to not suddenly burst out with, "Gary Indiana Gary Indiana not Louisiana Paris France New York or Rome!"

Every time I drive through Indiana, I get earwormed with "Indiana Wants Me."

But GAry indiana gary INDiana gary indiANA my home sweet home.

Drew, tons of hugs for you! Focus on the good times and the excellent life lessons you had with him. And I stand with my Bitches with the sentiment, Fuck Cancer.

Shir, tons of brackets for you too! {{{{{ Shir! }}}}} Peace and comfort~ma to your whole family. Lou was a cutie, and he was very lucky to have such a loving family.

FredPete, Cat~ma for you.

Pix, glad to hear the Dread Pirate Byron will be ok, and that you caught it early.

Also Pix, good luck with the interview class teaching. Glad to hear the teacher has a good sense of humor. Hopefully that means the kids are equally relaxed and cool!

ION- I'm torn. Boss said take the next 2 days off due to previously mentioned crazy HR policy with holiday reimbursements. But there is a ton of stupid shit that needs doing before I leave. From finding all my tools/cables/etc all around to reports that need doing before I leave. Worker bee in me says go in and do it. Short timer in me is saying fuck it. I'm thinking of just going in late and trying to leave early as a compromise.

bonny, I got the one with the PDF in my spam folder, but that's it. Resend when you get a chance, please?
