That's... unbelievable dickery. I am astonished that anyone wants to be a teacher, the way they're treated. And very grateful for those who do.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I should be asleep, but in a coincidence of nature, stuck my head out onto the balcony and heard the cry of geese. A perfect V, heading due north, noisily. Maybe they'll camp tonight at Lake Montabello, maybe they'll keep going. Nature calls it spring.

I am astonished that anyone wants to be a teacher, the way they're treated.
Especially now since the current flavor of education reform is: Fire Everybody! Teachers Suck!
And replace them with...even more beginning teachers? I don't know what they're thinking.

GR.... Hey, UCLA Medical Center? Can you just put the building number and the office number NEXT to the name of the doctor in your directory? That way, when Grace has an appointment with Dr. Loo (Cindy Loo Whoo!) I would be able to figure out which damned building you are in?
Stoopid UCLA website. It took a tremendous amount of digging to figure this out.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh. I'm sorry to hear of everyone's maddening days.
Hey Kat, I realize you are probably asleep so I'll take my actual offer to email, where you can read it when you wake up, but I am on break right now and could maybe watch a pinkeyed boy for you.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Thanks Scrappy, I have poked around the site, but I really want a little bitty, not even a crossover. I forgot to add that I will only buy used and that I am hoping to spend no more than $10K. I won't be buying until we are there, I'll be borrowing a car from the parental units for a while.
oh Kat, I hope your day is as good as possible considering.
Thank you all for your support last night, I think the bit of bourbon did help. I managed some sleep in mac's bed until 3:30 when he woke up in mine to find it empty and came looking for me. This morning he made no mention of last night's events or the game. I still have a very strong desire to scream a string of f-bombs at the top of my lungs.
Also? I forgot it was St. Patrick's Day and wore no green! I own a green plaid (yes, plaid) kilt and almost always wear it. am sad.

Dear insomnia fairy,
Hate you. Think you are secretly named Tino. Here's a punch in the crotch just for you.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yesterday I found out that my hot water heater died in the flood, so it was replaced AND in the opinion of the furnace repair guy, it's throwing money away to repair the furnace electrics ($1500-$2K minimum) when the furnace is so old (we've estimated it was made in 1922) and clearly on its last legs.
Then I went to Target AND Home Depot only to find they have sent back ALL their space heaters for the season. My next move is to call around to all the non-chain hardware stores here and find if any have some in stock....
