I should totally start kissing random guys on the street.

YOU SHOULD!!

I might start if I ever again see anyone in real life that I am attracted to.

People on local listservs and FB are flipping out like mammals over NYC schools being open today. Meanwhile, other people are flipping out like other mammals over the first group of people not caring that some kids only get to eat if they go to school and those kids tend to have parents who can't take days off so maybe keeping schools open is a good thing, k?

So much flipping out all over the place.

Another staff member is now out with the same ick that's taken down our Lower School Librarian. So it's just me and my director today, and he's leaving at 2 to drive to Indiana. Also, Rose was up in the night with a fever, poor kiddo, and since I knew it would be M staying home with her today, I took the night shift. So tired.

Cabin fever.

I have applied for several jobs, registered for a con, and am waiting to pounce on Welcome to Night Vale tickets as soon as they go on sale in 20 minutes. This, despite the house being 59 degrees, which I think is grounds for spousal murder.

They cancelled school here last night, which was probably a mistake -- at 7 a.m. it was clear and sunny. Although we do have a lot of rural-ish areas that buses need to get to.

So far today, Dana (and Jesse and probably everyone else) beats me in productivity. I have Interneted and eaten homemade waffles with strawberries and turned on the Olympics.

I need to brag on mac.

He has a substitute in band this week and apparently this guy lacks sensitivity/being human skills. I had not heard anything all week, but last night mac shared that in class yesterday the teacher upset him. mac was leaning over to adjust his music stand and accidentally let the slide on his trombone fall out. They teacher yells at him and says something like "If I were your parent I would disown you".

So, horrible to say at all over not a huge deal and really horrible triggery to say to mac.

mac did not say anything in class, but when he got to his next class he asked to go see the counselor (first time seeing counselors at jr. high). Counselor listened to him, heard him, and is writing the substitute up.

SO proud on so many levels. 1) he knew he did not deserve it. 2) he knew he needed to talk to someone because it upset him. 3) he told both McPhee and me in his own time.

They teacher yells at him and says something like "If I were your parent I would disown you".

This guy deserves to have a cartoon anvil dropped on his head. And also a serious talk about his career path, because WTF.

Aw, yay, mac!
