Good to hear your dad is doing better. Enjoy Sugarland.Dad seems to be improving/holding steady, and I'm running an errand to Sugerland this morning. I'll be thinking of the Houston FAWTLs while I'm there.
Take care!
I'm just moving Dad's desk out of the storage unit. If you know anyone in the market for a beautiful antique Sleigh desk let me know. They retail for 3 to 4 grand. We were asking $1500, but we are flexible.

Bleurgh. Interview today. Nervous.
At least with classes officially out for my district, it'll be a few months before I run into one of my coworkers at school again.
Seriously. Three years subbing while doing retail, three years of working with high school kids, and till this year, I can't really remember actually teaching one of my coworkers before.

Made it tot he UK. In a hotel not to far from Heathrow. I am exhausted from so much travel. And will sleep like a log when my room is ready.Glad to hear you are there safe and sound. Have fun in the UK.
+1. Hope the rest of the move goes well.
I've taught them before they got on at the retail job and had that later moment of "Oh hey you were the chemistry sub," but not nearly as awkward as "...Hey. Um...yeah I'll start that study guide. You working tonight?"
And then I end up subbing for the same kid twice in one week.
I am resolved to ultimately do away with the evil that is bundled cable.I am a big fan of directv.I had DirecTV at one point when I lived in Philly. Crappy customer service ended that.
But they're really just as bad as all the others. They charge extra money for tons of channels that very few people watch and otherwise would never survive. That is the evil.
I look forward to one day just being able to pay for everything by channel, or even by show.
My main problem with the latter is it'd be harder to discover shows. It'd rely upon advertisers to actually promote shows more vigourously & certain cult shows would get cancelled. You'd probably have more shows by successful producers (like Wheldon :P )

Honor your war dead with a Bar-B-Q this weekend.

Yeah but might not be appropriate to a response on how I handle classroom management.

That's probably not too far off from our plans here. =)

I know *I* would pay attention. Hell, I may even start loving math.

The trick to loving math is to phrase the questions right.
"Pinkie Pie is throwing a party. Each of the six ponies will eat four cupcakes. If the recipe can make one dozen cupcakes, how many batches will she need to mix?"
If that doesn't float your boat, for you I could tailor it to "Joss Whedon is throwing a cast party" "six Avengers" and "the poison stretches to one dozen."
Yeah but what kind of math teacher is going to accept that answer?
A teacher plied with cup-cakes?
The question is whether or not they've been poisoned.

For the first question, I believe the answer is "two batches".
For the second question, I believe the answer is "enough to take out Whedon and free the cast from his evil"
A teacher plied with cup-cakes?
I misread this as "a teacher piled with cupcakes". The idea of scint unzipping herself in front of her class one day to reveal that she is nothing more than a few dozen cupcakes in a human suit is terrifying. Delicious, maybe, but ultimately terrifying.

We finally got Dad's storage unit completely empty.
I truly hate me some Houston traffic.
Dad's progress is very slow, but at 88 we'll take what we can get.
Tonight we celebrate with Mexican food and beer!
Orthos, my condolences. Death is never easy, even when it is expected. Positive thoughts and wishes.
I am about to enter the maelstrom of food service employment on a sunny-forecasted Memorial Day weekend on Cape Cod. Pray for my soul, 'cause I'll need it.....

Good to hear man. After the long weekend we'll have to pick up on what's what with Pathfinder Online

F$~&ing Delta airlines.
I am upstate for my friend's wedding, and John just spent the last 7 hours at the airport trying to join me before they finally decided to cancel his flight. At one point, they boarded a plane, and then unboarded because "the plan had too much fuel". What the hell.
He is not coming. He has no way to get here.
..... Wat?
Condolences from me as well, Orthos.
