Hiya Gary. I am trying to figure out if I should thank you for me finally being able to log on, or blame you for not being able to for 4 days! :P
J/K, thank you thank you thank you!

Since when can Zombies grow a goatee? It's looking pretty sweet.Why, I've grown my hair, and stopped all that "rotting" nonsense, with the help of Gamble & Proctor's new Decay-Me-Not product line, for the discerning zombie.
No more mumbling because your vocal cord have rotted away. No more embarassing appendage loss during social functions. Now, you too, can keep your skin, hair, and internal organs in peak living conditions.
Decay-Me-Not: when looking like death warmed over just isn't an option.
Oh yeah, good stuff. I use TeaTree though.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooood morning FAWLTYHOUSE!
Solnes, what do you need to get your kid for school? And how much of it is ACTUALLY going to be used?Mrs. Boudreau’s Third Grade Supplies List
2010-2011
4 dry erase markers ( no yellow or orange)
1 clean sock or cloth to be used as an eraser
2 dozen pencils ( no mechanical pencils please)
1 box of pencil top erasers
1 hand held pencil sharpener
1 box of colored pencils
1 box of 24 pack of crayons
Small tipped markers
1 pair of scissors
Ruler (metric and inches)
1 bottle of Elmers glue
2 glue sticks
4 two pocket folders ( one blue, one red, one yellow and one green)
1 box of plastic storage bags
2 marbled covered composition books
4 spiral wide ruled notebooks (1 subject)

1 large bottle disinfectant wipes (Clorox, Lysol, Walmart, etc…)
1bottle antibacterial soap
1 pencil pouch or box
4 pens: red, green, blue, black (one of each)
Thats just Kellen's list, Arden's is longer nd the teacher wants all brand named stuff.
Sweet heavenly Abadar. That's a lot of stuff. How many kids are there in the class? Because I'm thinking the teacher is running a side business selling some of this stuff out of the back of her car, especialy if she's demanding brand name stuff. It may be my extraordinary cheapness talking, but WHO THE HELL DOES SHE THINK SHE IS!!!!!
For 5th grade I think we had a ridiculously(and I mean RIDICULOUSLY) long list of "necessary" supplies we HAD to have for school by the end of the first week. My mom got them all and warned me that they all had to be used or she was going to be pissed. The end of the school year came and, naturally only about a good quarter of them were used. The remainder sat there collecting dust. My mom marched down to the school during one of the last parent teacher conferences and demanded her money back!
BTW, we're through the looking glass here people!
I'm late, I'm late
no time to say hello, goodbyeI'm late, I'm late, I'm late

So is anyone else amazed at the long supply lists the schools are giving out?
Grrrr.
Green Pens. We are required to supply the teachers with GREEN PENS because apparently it's "bad" to grade in red. (Looks like blood or some other BS.) Have you ever tried to go shopping for only green pens? Then they give things like "4 notebooks -- yellow, orange, purple, and gray". So I'm looking around and find 3 of the 4 magic colors and had to go to a number of different locations to find everything.
Glad that's over...

Apparently someone in my office has been disregarding the work they've been receiving. I get to spend my afternoon combing through the last month's worth of faxes to find what has been done and what has not. I would grumble about how somebody should be fired, but the fact is, if we knew who it was, they would be.

Seriously? Green ink? Are our children so sensitive to the idea that red means bad? Is it just too much for them? Good luck, new world. Keep nerfing every existential edge until jellified kids suffer cerebral hemorrhages from their first paper cuts.
As for red in representing blood... with all due respect to hemophobiacs, this is too much. Sure, fake blood in a movie or video game might paralyze them, but ink? Are we going to make traffic lights green, yellow and purple now as well? Best outlaw red lipstick too so kids won't think mommy is a feasting cannibal.

Damn straight. And when the trial on Starcraft runs out I have Dragon Age.

I've had many a raging rant on subjects all too similar to this myself within the past few years.
And yet I want to go into teaching. I truly must be mad.

More like he's talking to AlGore - the man who invented the internet!
CH, good luck deciding the whole school thing. I'd give advice, but then I'd have to admit how not qualified I am to give such advice. That way lies nervous breakdown. So I'll just wish you luck and leave it at that. :)Ironically, if my life had worked out differently, we could be discussing this in person...
** spoiler omitted **
Woo-hoo, a fellow UofM dropout. :)
My family is still pissed as hell at me for not finishing school the first time around. They're thinking about forgiving me now that I'm going back, but community college isn't nearly as cool so I'm still permanently in the dog house with them.
Late, but +1!!!Everyone I am off to a job interview in about half an hour. It's only IT Help Desk support for 20 hrs/week, but it gets me away from Subway and back into IT which is good.Good luck on your job interview!Thanks everyone. I thought it went well and the guy doing the interview used to work with one of my references, so hopefully that's a plus as well. Find out early next weeek. :D
A little late to wish you luck on the interview, but good luck on getting the job. :)
So is anyone else amazed at the long supply lists the schools are giving out?
Elementary schools? Traditionally all our school asks that the kids bring is a backpack, and possibly a water bottle for the kid to keep at their desk. But they just got hit with a whole bunch of budget cuts this year since the extra millage didn't pass. So I'm not even sure what to expect.
The schools near us had a big list of goodies for the kindergarteners to purchase. Parents were asked to bring them in on the night of the parent-teacher meeting. When they arrived, they were told to place the various supplies into communal bins, and that the children would pick what they needed from the bin that day, first come, first served. So that beloved My Little Pony folder that your daughter just had to have? Yeah, little Billy might grab it because he got there first.

Well, technically this shouldn't function like Communism in purpose. This form of communal redistribution should hold back polite children. <shrug>

Apparently someone in my office has been disregarding the work they've been receiving. I get to spend my afternoon combing through the last month's worth of faxes to find what has been done and what has not. I would grumble about how somebody should be fired, but the fact is, if we knew who it was, they would be.
I found out who's been dumping their work (did some detective work) and I'm kind of sad that I did now. He's a nice guy - I don't know why he didn't just ask for help if he was overwhelmed. This isn't going to turn out well.

Awright folks, time to head out for the day. I'll grab a quick nap at the homestead and then it's off to fun fun fun at the second job. YAY!
Mmmmm....homemade chocolate ice cream. :)

Is that storebought vanilla squished up with chocolate sauce, the way I do? Or real homemade ice cream?

Real homemade ice cream. Chocolate. One of those recipes that only has five ingredients in it. Very yummy. :)
It's just too bad the stupid ice cream machine doesn't work right. I was able to save it by stirring it frequently while it froze, but the whole point of the machine was supposed to be so I didn't have to do that every time I make ice cream. :/
Mmmmm....homemade chocolate ice cream. :)That sounds delicious.
It is. I'd offer to share, but it doesn't seem to go through the monitor well. ;)

LOL!
*sigh* The schools frustrate me to no end. There is no reason as to why I should supply hand sanitizer. I made it through school all healthy and fine with just soap and water.

Hey, I'm about as left as you go on a lot of things and even I hear this and have issues. That's a sure sign that something is wrong.
