Small concession for low pay, hard work, lots of college loans and being despised not only by the kids you teach but by most republicans as well


low pay is relative.. sorry man.. when you get 3-4 months off at a minimum every year due to winter break/summer vacation and you calculate income per days worked.. it ain't exactly minimum wage….. you might be surprised .. they might be making more than you on a per day worked basis.


During the summer, many teachers are required to take classes, and many are required to earn at least a masters degree before getting a promotion/raise.


god the horror.. a Masters… a Masters these days is like toilet paper: necessary but pretty basic stuff.

yeah, its a cakewalk to get FIVE days off your job in one week and not have to make them up.. what else do you call it??
Literally no one I know who just got a snowday (myself included) is expected to "make them up." You think I'm coming in on Saturday this week?


you got five or six snow days! wow… nice!
Oh, I very well could roll thru Wednesday with weather-related days off if I wanted.

Yes, I got my Netflix dvd, thanks for asking.
If I had to pick one, Netflix dvd or Netflix streaming, it would be dvd in a heartbeat. Streaming options are so limited, and Netflix dvd option is still so cheap, as long as you watch the disk the day you get it and send back the next day.

I used to be a teacher, but i think I'm better in my current career. You really have to have a talent for it to be a good teacher. I didn't. We did'nt love our daughter's kindergarten teacher, but the past three have been pleasantly excellent. I have no beef with teachers, they earn every dollar they make, and dexerve a little bit more.

And I just had a damn good flight of beers at Whole Foods for $8.

my work was open today :/

although i only live a mile from it (and walk) so in reality bad weather can't stop me.  although it wasn't great having to walk in the street.

the president said we were open….then a few hours later the dean sent a message saying our school would be closed, students and staff don't have to report…..then a few hours after that  (after i had started drinking) a "corrected" message was sent saying classes are cancelled but staff have to report.  so on top of having to go after thinking we were off…i  have a hangover (burns night)

i'm guessing the president got pissed

Fairfax County just bagged it for the rest of the week.

At weeks end, they will have had 11 days of school in the last seven calendar weeks. And one of them was an early dismissal day.

we are fine out here in the woods.  I was able to go buy some beer, and food, today.  got to work too.  yeah, great . . . because napping 4 to 5 hours a day, gaining 10 pounds, jerking off on command, was so horrible.

ha ha walkie…

I went out today with the kids.. I took them to Barnes and Noble.. man they love that place.. makes me happy….I love bookstores particularly with record stores in them…..I bought them some educational materials (my older boy a getting ready for the 4th grade workbook… he's in kindergarten but is obsessed with these workbooks… I just love making him happy.. too bad we have 250 of these workbooks lying around, and for the young boy I bought him a coloring book for girls cause that is what he wanted) and the Iron Maiden LP for myself…YAH! so I was happy.. then I took them to an undisclosable location for lunch…it was packed…jam packed with kids…

People on the streets were driving like total assholes… really put me off the whole thing…you would think the snow everywhere would bring out the best in people but no…I want to say it was Fairfax assholes but I dunno…usually they would be Maryland assholes but I don't think with the snow conditions they came all the way over to fuck with me….could have been some Arlingtonians.. wtf? are these people not brought up on "the Arlington Way"? I went to a thrift store and picked up 15 cds and some more stuff for my kids…a construction construction site matching game (if you're a parent you probably know the book) and a few other items…so I was happy….then I took them to safeway and the lines were way long and all I could find I wanted was a head of broccoli and box of cheerios so I said fuggit and came home.. they were out of milk.. it looked like that crazy looney tunes maniac had been there….then I got home and realized the construction construction matching game was missing 4 out of the 72 cards.. frickin' thrift stores…anyways, it don't matter .. my kids never play those matching games.. oh my older boy wanted a "batter up" baseball frame art thing of some sort.. I thought that was weird but I bought that too.. now someone will have to figure out how to put it up.. I am basically illiterate when it comes to putting shit up on walls…the end. dont' you wish you had that minute back.

is Betao still in transit?


Hah, negative. I didn't come up. I decided Thursday that there was no logistical way to make this happen, and I'm glad I did. Otherwise, I probably would still be in transit.

We got between 12'' - 15'' in Richmond, and the kids are finally back in school today.

Church Hill parking was Thunderdome. There were no rules. All common decency went completely out the window.

Everybody enjoying the warm weekend weather?

Apparently it's not warm enough, as Fairfax County Schools will have a two hour delayed start tomorrow.

Yes, your voice is echoing off my repeatedly plowed street very nicely.
