Why I hate your music

I finally put together a collection of music for my boss.
I hope it will work for him. I think I promised such a disc to a few of you, so you might see it in the mails somedays. Unfortunately, sending it to you over the internets would be a little dicey.

Not much opportunity this week for creativity. Muse or not, I've been swamped with the worldly things in life. Like money. I've discovered that I love it. I love the way it pays the bills. I love the way it feeds my wife and I. I like the way it covers our need for insurance so that if I die, my wife can get more of it. As such, I am a devoted companion to money's step-father: jobbing.

No room for pictures,
no room for movies,
no room for guitar...which I so desperately need.

Spring Break

So, I'm on a Spring Break from my full time subbing position. Now, I have all the time in the world to work 30+ hours at the Gap! Huzzah.

Somehow, I'll need to cram in:


1) Lesson planning for the following week
2) Taxes (yes, I'm that late)
3) Stop Motion movie (screenplay suggestions?)
4) Sermons galore
5) Hair cut

Somehow though, I doubt my haircut will be quite as magical as Charlie's.

Here's a picture of me: less forehead and less artsy-fartsy than Charlie's (yet again).

Annoying Sub on Friday

Apparently, I received the world's worst Substitute Teacher to fill in for me on Friday. This is highly offensive on two levels:

1) I am a substitute teacher, and I hate people who reflect poorly in a position that I also work in

2) She was completely disrespectful to my children

I have taken a dear and keen ownership of my students, and anyone who behaves poorly should be reprimanded. I am in the process of compiling a collection of evidence that will, hopefully, refuse her work in this building ever again.

Incompetence is pathetic. Poor professionalism is worse. Worthless and irreverent individuals make my blood boil.

Full Time Subbing

Well, as you can imagine,
Full Time Subbing on a Long Term scale
takes a lot of work.

As I haven't finished this work yet,
I shoul probably stop blogging...

Profuse Vomiting

Well, unfortunately five of my girls began vomiting profusely after seeing a human brain in their science class today. Poor things, they were all red-faced and teary-eyed from the process. Must have been quite an ordeal from them.

Poor little dears,
they really are sweet girls.
Mostly.

I'm sure they'll be ok.
