I’ve heard there’s some automated software that can go around posting arcane comments on people’s sites. The links to those people’s sites are always in the comments. Whatever! Such a waste. Whoever purchases something like that is a real loser in my opinion, because most sites will have filters in place to keep the garbage Read more...
Got issues?
Don’t we all? The pollutions of life can really get you down sometimes and have you wallowing in self-pity and misery. But you don’t have to stay there. If the problem has a solution, then it’s not really a problem. If it doesn’t, just throw it in the bag with the rest of the horse poo and keep on moving.
Ah Spring! Ah, NOT! Man, the cold went away, the sun came out, and so did the critters. All the creeping crawling ones, the scurrying furry ones, the flying, nesting, noisy ones. Ok, I don’t dislike nature’s creatures. What I do dislike is when they invade my space. I live in a house with a Read more...
So far, I’ve managed to keep my head above water since I quit my job in December. It’s amazing what you can do without when you just have a few dollars to work with. I’ve cut back on a few things. I don’t eat out. I cook, and I make sure I have leftovers. I Read more...
Welcome! I’m in the process of making some stylistic changes to this site, so pardon the debris. Stay awhile. I write about life as it happens to me. I invite you to comment, because I know life is happening to you too. I also write about some of the things that hold my attention, such Read more...
I call it a month, because my official last day of school was right before Christmas Break. Well, there were those few hours I went in on the 4th of January, but that was for me. The staff was having their big ‘back-to-school’ meeting, and I didn’t have to go. Y’ay! Instead, I stayed in Read more...
It’s breaking my heart. I watched a video report from Kati Couric that effectively reduced me to tears. I’d been watching videos and looking at pictures since this catastrophe happened, but there was something about that video that was just heart wrenching. The suffering is massive – seemingly more than the heart can bare. Those Read more...
I turned in my resignation! Whew! There are a couple of schools of thought on quitting one’s job. One group says, “do it! take a chance, rediscover yourself.” Another group says, “don’t quit ’til you have another job in place.” Well I don’t have anything else lined up – in THIS economy. Brave move if Read more...
If you read my post “Meet Cron-Zilla,” you know that I’m considering turning in my resignation at the end of this semester. (I teach middle school). No, I don’t think I can hold out until next summer. So I’m evaluating my employment, or soon-to-be unemployment, situation (without benefits), and considering my options. Oddly, the things Read more...
The worst job ever… Read more...
One time I read a guy’s blog where he was going on and on about the breaks teachers get. He had a problem with it. He calculated the time off with the pay and decided that we teachers were well paid afterall. I felt he missed some variables in his calculations. Like the price our Read more...
