HUGS Rose...well you just barely started the path to better things ( new job, going back to school, etc.) it can't change overnight...but it will change and get better. Just takes time is all. I felt that way when I first started teaching ( without training or proper credentials on a conditional certificate) there I was taking classes all night and teaching all day and exhausted and frustrated with no money or anything. I really hated it and wanted to just chuck it all and scream, but it did get better and yours will too sweety!!

Suz- wow I cannot imagine having to shirt all my curriculum( 4 filing cabinets) and books and supplies and everything with me for each class change. Why do they do it that way? How do teachers get a chance to make a welcoming environment or develop creative, complex lessons? In answer to your questions I teach junior high ( equivalent age 12-15 years old both genders) in a fairly rough school ( lots of gangs and violence...opening faculty meeting we had the announcement that over the summer one student was shot and killed in a drive by shooting, one was charged and will likely be convicted of a totally different shooting in which he killed 2 people, and one student committed suicide...not our cheeriest faculty moment, but hey it happens...on the plus side only 8 girls got pregnant last year)
However I really happen to love my job:)

So didja ever hear the one about a redhead who walked into a Bar?

*looks at watch*

Wow. 9:33 PM EST in a bar, and no one is around.

Well, as a few of you 'Coats can attest, my new job has me busy. Sometimes, too busy. :-/

*puts chin in hand*

*looks behind bar for Kel/RIMG/Penguin/Servbot to produce a perfectly mixed 7 & 7.*

I should have some time tomorrow, as I anticipate a slower than normal day. I hope.

Can I just say...HVAC contractors are the neediest people in the world. And I thought the interior designers at the Furniture Farm were bad. Sheesh.

edit: Keep you chinup, Rose. I agree with MsG, you are on the road to greater things.

well, at most schools teachers get two drawers in a filing cabinet at their desk, which is in the staffroom. Any decoration or display of students work in the classrooms must bedone in colaboration with several teachers (and often doesnt happen at high school much - although it depends on the school and the subject area). And these days, most curriculum documents are in digital form as well, I guess....

Morning all,

so far I have discovered that all cars should be robots and a bit of a Traveling Wilburys song that I think is in the Fruity Oaty bar advert from Serenity.

How you all doing?

Hang in their PR, know it's frustrating and sympathise having just come through three years of supporting my other half through uni so know it's tough but you'll get there.

Sympathies to all the teachers as watching my other half wrestle her new classroom into shape.

I think I spotted Mavs as well, hope the new job keeps going ok and good to see you.

Hey to the rest, I am off to the beer garden to enjoy a cooling breeze and get on with my day.

*wanders off to the enchanted beer garden, pauses by the door and pulls out want to enchant a cup of tea to follow him from the bar*

see you all in a bit

Rose - *hugs'n'cheery vibes*

MsG - The book arrived today, so it's no longer lost in transit.

HK (or any snitches reporting to her) - I'll need a postal address to send the 7 Dresden novels to.

I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!

As the originator of the Dresden contribution to the Browncoat Flying Library, I have taken on the esteemed position of "Snitch Reporting to Hell's Kitten". Her emails are often as stealth and ninja-like as her posts. I'll let you know what I find out.


You know what the first rule of flyin' is? Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take a boat in the air that you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of worlds. And love keeps her in the air when she oughtta fall down… tells ya she's hurtin' 'fore she keels… makes her a home.

Thanks Penguin. I'll be needing that.

The coffee maker on my floor is broken!
The horror - I had to walk down a flight of steps to get The Good Stuff.

*hugs to Kel, Gee, Penguin, and as always, my Jimibear RIMG.*
And Flyvote is here! *hugs*

Let my slow day....begin!
