Indeed indeed, they expect me in during the day tomorrow, so I am staying up until I collapse today and I will have a hope of making it through the day.
...Having just called a few places for quotes on replacing my timing belt, I don't think I'll need any coffee 
Now, going back to work on Friday at the regular time, that will be interesting.
Also, the site just ate my post. Double
MsG, I'm so sorry to hear about the bad teacher and the chess set. I shake my fist for you as well

I actually cringed when I read "timing belt."
Yeah, car repairs are a necessary evil. Another mental hug for you, PR.
Good luck!!!
EDIT: And what part of "The kids aren't allowed to play with it." didn't he understand. For pete's sake, if the TA told me that, the kids wouldn't be playing with it. End of story. Besides, playing chess rather than working like they should have shows the sub isn't reliable in the first place...

You are SUCH a good teacher and have this GREAT creative streak in you and are able to elicit from these kids good and appropriate judgments and behaviors. There's got to be something you can pull out of your bag of wiles and charms and wit that can make whoever took it from you to want to give it back.
"Boo Hoo"
*cries MsG, with BIG, sincere, crocodile tears*
"My best friend in the whole world made this for little ol' Miss Scar...er, me befoah going off to the woah. Whatever shall I do?"
*peeks over resplendent fan at all the little school boy faces just eating out of her hand. bats lashes and it's ovah. from the back comes a sobbing voice*
"Oh, I am soooo sorry, Miz Sca, er, MsG. I just wanted to take it home overnight and look at it a spell. I wasn't going to keep it. Honest. I was going to put it back befoah you knowed it wuz gone (with the Wind). But you knewed right away."
*BAWLS like a fresh castrated piglet*
"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"

Note to self: 36 or so hours away from the boards makes for a lot of catch-up reading to do.
I had my end of year exam for French last night (1st year-level French at uni is equivalent to that learnt by high school students, cramming 5 years worth of teaching into one year). I know I could have done better as I made the mistake of going to see Children of Men in the cinema prior to the exam. It's a very impressive film and one I'd recommend to anyone to watch, but only if they didn't need to focus on anything for the next day or so, as it left me feeling battered, mainly due to it being a very possible depiction of how things in the world are going.
So now I'm here and trying to catch up on everything. So let's see if I can add my 2c worth to some of the recent discussions.
Books/Bookshelves As a fast reader and a uni student, my shelves are all overflowing with a mix of everything. Some older stuff like the 1st edition copies of The Exorcist and The Time Machine, a 1971 set of LOTR (complete with fold-out maps) and an early 1900's copy of The Three Musketeers. Complete sets of books include the Wheel of Time series (what there is of it so far) and everything ever written by Matthew Reilly. Graphic novels/comics include the full sets of Sin City, Preacher and Transmetropolitan.
Then there's all the textbooks from uni (politics, history, religion, engineering, media studies).
So what does my library say about me? Buggered if I know.
NVG I know I haven't weighed in on you yet, but I feel it's time to start lobbing bricks at you.
Cooking I do a lot of the cooking in this house, so I'm always up for new recipes. In amongst all the special features on the Sin City dvd is the 10 minute Cooking school, which has a nice looking breakfast taco recipe on it, which I'm planning on trying in the next week or two.
That's enough for now. I'm sure there's been more stuff added for me to reply to while I've been writing this.

If you find yourself getting too worked up about stuff that isn't real (RP Threads etc), then go outside, breathe in some fresh air and try feeding the ducks. (Because ducks don't care about your politics, religion, skin colour, choice of music or even your haircut. They like everyone, provided you bring them food.)

I can remember taking tests that I was sure I was unsure of, and having them turn out all right. Of course, there were those that I had a good grasp of the material and figured all would be well and then had the questions be all about the one part I was weak on. Good luck, my friend.
Quotes -
"I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member." (Groucho Marx)
"Some of these theorems may have been repeated,
some maybe be weak or false , some may be revolutionary.
The dilemma is how do we know.
With this amount of information how can anyone decide what is good bad or indifferent???" (Stanisław Ulam-Ulam's Dilemma)
"Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." (Walt Whitman)
Dead to me -
There have been individuals whom I have come across that have absolutely given me the eeriest, creepiest feeling. There was a guy for instance in my old apartment complex who did and dealt drugs that we all called Charlie Manson. It wasn't that he was huge or built or tough-looking. It was his eyes. Like looking into the eyes of Azrael. *shuddlers with willies*

Aw, c'mon, where's your sense of adventure?
