Critter Creep

Host — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 17:12:29 +0000

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 [...]

My Employment Status

Host — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 00:42:28 +0000

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. [...]

What I was planning to do…

Host — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 08:20:48 +0000

Was write a post on my recent forays into managing this blog and a couple of other sites. That was before I crashed this site. *poof* it disappeared. It was already after 12am when this happened. I had planned to come in here, write a quick post, and be in bed by 12:30. (I stayed [...]

A Month Later

Host — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 05:51:23 +0000

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 [...]

I Cry for Haiti

Host — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 15:44:57 +0000

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 Haitian [...]

Just another Wordpress day

Host — Fri, 15 Jan 2010 22:11:30 +0000

I have spent the better part of the past week going over features and techniques for Wordpress and the theme Thesis. I like Wordpress. I especially like Thesis. I’m putting together a couple of websites, and I started with Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver’s ok, although, honestly, I have not worked through all that it can do. So [...]

I did it!

Host — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 18:54:06 +0000

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 [...]

Don’t Hate Our Breaks

Host — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 02:30:54 +0000

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 [...]

I’m not a drinker persay, but…

Host — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:56:26 +0000

I could become one. Ordinarily, I might have a fruity drink, with a dash of liquor, maybe twice a year. No buzz, just a pretense of being grown-up when I’m out with friends. But lately…this job has me salivating for something stronger whenever I go out. I mean I want the real stuff – no [...]
