Note to self: no more zombies before bedtime. No matter how much Brandus wants you to watch them with him. they lead to bad dreams of being chased and eaten and spicy spicy brains.
bad.
im just glad i put my foot down and went to bed BEFORE the scene with the zombie baby.
gah.
Well, it happened, so i guess i can actually talk about it.
there are 41 teachers in my school gone today.
I am not gone. I, and the majority of the probationary teachers, as well as scattered others, are here.
Which means my day is going to suck, and everyone who called in sick is going to have a nice relaxing day worrying about whether they are going to be called on the carpet to justify their absence.
Last night was mediation.
But wait, thats not enough information.
This county is the last county in the state to settle between the school board and the teachers regarding salary.
Salaries have been frozen for 2 years.
4 days have been added to this contract year, with no increase to pay to reflect it. They refuse to dissolve those days, or to pay for them.
Salaries will not increase.
Cost of living raises will not go up.
41 teachers have the flu this morning.
Today is not going to be fun.
Hobbit! Hobbits are real!!!!
HOBBITS!!
and dude, how cute was Charlie on Lost tonight? i just want to squish him all over!
*squees in happy over HOBBITS! and CHARLIE!*
Terrorists Groups Do Not Qualify for the Geneva Conventions
*sputter*
what?
i was under the (obviously mistaken) impression that the Geneva Conventions were created to protect all people from inhumane acts..such as being raped, beaten, tortured, forced to strip naked and taken pictures of and mocked. you know, to treat all people like people.
obviously, i was wrong. the US does not see terrorists, or anyone who might be a terrorist, as a human.
my mistake.
It has really, only recently, come to my attention that i never have to leave my house again.
No really.
netflix takes care of all my movie needs (Saved, Farenheit 9/11, and Run Lola Run to name the most recent), but now amazon carries anything else i could ever need, and is perfectly willing to bring it to my house.
Like cat food.why did i not know that amazon carries our preferred brand of cat food?
amazon also carries myburt’s bees lip stuff, which has been a source of great frustration when i cant find a store that carries it. not to mention toothpaste, kitty litter and shampoo that smells like chocolate chip cookies!
so let me go sign up with the grocery store delivery people, and you will never see me outside again. when i do go outside, i will try very hard not to look hunted and paranoid by all these strange “outside” things. like cars! or trees! or wind! OMGTRAUMA!
