Doh! How far do you need to go for work?Ran over a nail on the drive to work this morning.
Pffffftt. Flappita. Flappita. Flappita.
Work at St Leonards, so about a 40 min drive.
The NRMA guy was there within 15 mins, and took about 5 mins to change it over with the spare. Then I hit all the school zones going down the Pacific Highway, so the drive took me about 30 mins longer than ususal.

I might as just something to have, no way I'd actually read it to the kids... no matter how badly I might want to. ;)
got a call today for an interview tomorrow. Enjoyed fighter practice tonight also. The interview is for the place that I applied earlier this year for a barista job, now it is for the actual convenience store. Hopefully I can do good this time around.

Good luck!
Yo BT! Seriously! You gotta stop feeding the trolls. Let that Governement Folly thread die the death it so richly deserves, and the trolls will have one less excuse to poison the off Topic Section.
I appreciate the feed back, but you know I can't let my core issue lay dormant. I'll fight my fights for individual liberty there rather than drag it here, but I won't quit fighting that fight until they plant my old ass in the dirt.
I try to be civil and logical, but it's just not in me to walk away from this fight.
That's a big part of why I keep the thread alive; if I can just get a few folks to question the status quo before I'm done on this earth I might have made some small difference. I might be buried and forgotten by most soon, but at least I tried.
I am what I am.
Take care.
Couldn't focus on anything for more than two seconds today. Got absolutely nothing done. Incredibly pissed off.
That sucks!
WTF! More newbs! How the f~#% am I supposed to keep the f%&@ up with all the new f&&#ing people! G%!~#@N IT!!!!!
New people?! What about all the freakin' new posts? I can't possibly keep up.
By the way, AZ, you should have know that this would happen sooner or later. As someone once observed , we're .
And there is major craziness at work today ... don’t want to go into details at the moment, but some serious s$&& is going down, its put me in a weird mood.That was my week last week. Now I get to begin picking up the pieces in the aftermath. It's not going to be a fun next couple of months while I hire replacements and get them up to speed.
Good luck!
With the way things have been going, I should become the evening Celestial Healer. In that spirit...
What did I miss?
Pfft. What did you miss? What did I miss? (It's been like a year.)With the way things have been going, I should become the evening Celestial Healer. In that spirit...
What did I miss?

Do I know you? You remind me of an older Kobold Cleaver.

Thanks - and just when it looks like it can get any crazier, it does. Sometimes the ripples from a major splash range far.

"It's almost like I forgot you even existed."
"Yeah, I get that a lot."I was pretty active a couple years ago, on the original FaWTL!!!!! thread.
Or was that Sarcasm?
Heh...I was just messin' with ya, Gark. Good to see you drop back in.

Oh SP, why do puffins never get their due in fantasy/rpg art?
Wikipedia disambiguation page doesn't enlighten. What means "SP."
Studpuffin, one of our regulars.
After over a week of hardly any beer because of a cold, I was finally feeling well enough yesterday to down a few. Mmmmm....Burton Baton.

::crashes his copper-scaled draconic butt back in the thread::
That's absolutely asinine! Poor Bryce. That's one of those situations that would prompt me to make a very direct and directive phonecall to the principal, demanding an interview with that particular person.
Backlash for demanding that your child get the attention and specific educational benefits he needs to succeed? It'd better not be...just remind them that his academic success is directly tied to their job performance...school administrators AND teachers...by LAW! (Whether you agree with the NCLB laws or not, it's leverage in this case.)
If she's just too much of a b***h to demonstrate patience and self control when presented with a child who obviously has special needs, then she needs to be ... calibrated.
Sorry...this riled me up. Some people need a kick in the teeth.
If only. Alas, she and the principal think alike on these matters. And they're being pissy cause we make them do their job and go over their heads to get things done when we have to. It's especially sad because these people can not only overshadow but often undo a lot of the good done by those educators he interacts with who really do go above and beyond to help him and would be able to do their jobs better if the administrators would get out of the way.
In other words, yes, some people need a kick in the teeth. :)
Ugh. Stupid people are stupid.
We're dealing with a minor problem, now, ourselves. We have one teacher (the girls are in separate classes), who seems to frequently forget that that Tasha has an IEP. She's rather strict, which is okay, but her modus operandi is to send kids to "the center" during recess when they forget to do or turn in work. Tasha got sent to the center today because she didn't finish an assignment...she was supposed to do a "retell" of a story. She was reading a book with was rated for 2 grade levels higher than her class, but got distracted and didn't finish the retell. The teacher sent her to the center...completely ignoring the fact that Tasha's IEP specifically states that she is NOT to be sent to "the center" when things like that happen. Unless she's misbehaving, she needs to be able to go out for recess, because otherwise she can't sit still and focus during class.
Anyway...enough ranting.
It's nice to be back in the Deep FAWTL. Sorry I've missed so many of you.

Total awesomeness.
Man were did the weekend go? I can't beleive it is Monday already. Well at least I got the Hockey game tonight Go Bruins !!!!.What's the series stand at?
CANUCKS!
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know
For a moment I thought it was something else.
Agh. Bryce lost a lens from his glasses today so he was really upset, and he asked to call me and I was about one minute from getting him calmed down and ready to go back to class when without giving him a warning someone at the school abruptly cut off the call because he had a time limit. (He never has before.) I could hear him crying hysterically in the background. I would really like to b#~$~ slap that horrible woman. I won't, but I want to.
Actually quite a few teachers are beaten by parents. For the most part, and speaking form my experience in the educational system, they deserve it.
So yeah, I'm not going to read everything that went before.
Actually, just anything life-shattering. Since like January 2009?
I got all doctored up, PhD style. Still no tenure track, full-time position though.
Paris: Ugh. :-(
