  • WGD's

    Bush quote of the day "I don't have a magic wand to wave over gas prices, I don't have that right now." Really Mr. President? Will you be obtaining this wand shortly? Could it be in Iran? Should we attack there? Oh Let's…

  • Ready for Week 5.

    I spent a good chunk of my weekend working on paperwork for this week. I wanted to get it all done and out of the way, so I camped out at Starbuck's for a few hours and wrote until my hand cramped up. Why is it that I ca…

  • Boys are NOT FOR PINK!

    I got an email from a guy who was my student teacher a few years back. It seems he's already throwing in the towel after two years of teaching. He wants to spend more time with his husband and find a job that pays better…

  • Reality and Scoobysaurus.

    Every time I see a teacher as a character on a TV show, it's a completely unrealistic portrayal. Teachers don't usually live in upscale high-rises, wear suede coats and drive mini-scooters to work. Most teachers don't ev…

  • 6 weeks to go! :)

    Well, it appears I am losing my "inner-circle" status at work. No more 2 hour lunches? :) kidding... I passed my principal in the hallway this morning and asked her, "Did you get an email from [New Principal]?" (asking …

  • A Big Ball of Awesome!

    I got the job! yay me! The principal called me and asked if I want it, "YES!" "Ok, it's a lot of hard work," "AWESOME!" "And it's a HUGE mess over here, you'll have a lot of organizing to do," "Yes Ma'am!! I'll handle it…

  • A wandering mind.

    I am so beyond ready for the weekend, except I have to go to work on Saturday. We have a non-mandatory MANDATORY fun day on Saturday morning. It's one of those "we're not going to pay you for it, but you better have a da…

  • Vietnamese is the new pink!

    I spent the first hour of my day at work in Vietnamese. I don't speak Vietnamese, but it's a really cool sounding language. I always request the same translator because she's a funky old lady and very funny. She also sch…

  • It's... Only... Tuesday...

    This week sucks! I have a pile of paperwork and four big meetings to prepare for. Suckage! Oh well, I'm getting it done and we have 32 days left of the school year! yay!!I got summer school! This means I will work throug…

  • Saturday morning wandering Chinatown

    I finally checked out Saigon Plaza this morning. They spent the entire year I taught at Owens building this plaza right in front of the school. It opened after I went away to Austin, and this morning I …

  • Movin on Up. To the Easssside.

    So yesterday I got an email about the SUPER cool job that I REALLY want. She asked when I could come and meet with her. I wrote her that I could come at her earliest convenience. THEN! I got a phone call from my coordin…

  • suckage

    Sweet Mervin in the morning! I am sick of blogging about work (I DO have a life, REALLY I DO!!), but today I found out that I won't be needed next year at my school. What!? The numbers of special needs kids are down, way…

  • The darndest thing!

    So yesterday morning I woke up feeling totally smashed. I didn't drink or anything the night before, but I just felt achy and exhausted so I went back to bed. I didn't have any gross symptoms, I just felt super tired. I …

  • The catch!

    So my last post was about the HUD program for teachers, but I found a catch buried in the fine print. The house has to be in the district in which you teach. I teach in the hood and my school district is a land of extrem…
