I did not see an Avengers coloring book! Mine has flowers and paisleys. Very soothing.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

So, we have an online learning management system which is where we keep our gradebooks. Last year our school site was in charge of administering ours. This year, the AP in charge of it handed it over to the district wide tech division (for a bunch of reasons, but it is a lot of work to be the admin) Grades are due on Friday. Today, all of my courses disappeared from the system.
This happened when our 15 week grades were due too. YAY?

I did not see an Avengers coloring book!
I found it in the school supply section by the crayons. But that was a year or 2 ago.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I don't even know what the terrible news is. Ostriches got nothing on me. Well, they can kick harder.
Anyway, I went to the DMV this morning thinking I was replacing the DL I lost, um, some time ago. Turns out, they had no record of me renewing so I have been driving around on an expired license for almost two years. I know I got SOMETHING in the mail that I certainly thought was my renewed license, but whatever, I didn't get stopped and arrested during that time and all I had to do was pay a slightly higher fee, get my picture taken, and take the test. Not even late for work.
And I had the nicest DMV worker helping me. She said it's possible that something went down the same day my DL was issued and it didn't get recorded or whatever and if I can find my receipt I can get a refund (of, like, $5 I think, so I'm not sweating that) and commented that at least now my picture will capture my cool hair. She'd like to go "fiery cheeto red" but she's not sure that would fly at the DMV. And asked if I lost weight looking at my 2010 picture. So possibly a record-breaking pleasant visit to the DMV.

Nice, -t! My CA driver's license arrived yesterday. Now California has to keep me safe from Republicans until 2021, that's how it works, right?

Given the highly visible technical snafus LAUSD has perpetrated over the years, I wouldn't blame you for keeping an old school faux-green-leather grade book.

Kat, did your school recently upgrade to a new version of Sakai? Because that happened to another school I know of, who happened to upgrade at the beginning of this semester. The courses were not visible, but they weren't gone and tech support was able to get everything back.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So possibly a record-breaking pleasant visit to the DMV.
That's awesome.
