Well the month of july is here and that means i have time off. Normally this would be a great thing, sleep in, play video games, do a bit of web work but alas that is not the case. Since my new found status as a permanent teacher, i decided to use all my saved pennies and the lot to buy myself a nice brand spanking new car. What you would expect is ( Read more... )

We definitely live in trying times; the words recession, economic downturn and economic hardships are thrown about casually without regard or understanding. On top of all of these gloom and doom predictions are scandals involving bonuses in the financial sector and "upset" autoworkers about the aggressive stance the auto industry is taking. Why ( Read more... )

Why oh why do i get the flu when im NOT working and ON VACATION ! damn youuuuuuuuu

This rant is one thats long time coming. Normally i dont go all out on issues just simply because i want to cover my bets if im wrong but this issue is really been pissing me off.

I finished my first year of teaching and have been relaxing ever since. Im currently in limbo doing supply teaching now before i start a new lto contract in octber/november-ish. Throughout these two months ( Read more... )

I have come to a wonderful realization, well not really, teaching is exactly like the lottery. You pick your grade, subject area, and school, you hope for the best and see what you get. At times you will hit the jackpot and get a great bunch of kids, staff, and administration. Other times, you may get a combination of two of the three, and ( Read more... )

Welp, got some wonderful news in the latest staff meeting that the latest round of permanant hiring (which coincidentally i can get a chance at taking a stab at) has been postponed. Why you ask? because peel seems to have an excess of teachers than there are available positions :| yes folks its that bad even in peel. Where does that leave me? most ( Read more... )

Well im just coming off a nice March break filled with cleaning off my desk, mulling about, sprinkling a few songs through guitar hero III and lastly thinking about my "professional" future. It now looks like a certain event that i will need to look for another job come the end of the year and as always is a stressful thing to do. Sometimes i feel ( Read more... )

As i walk slowly through the wreckage of the street, I pay attention to every detail. The car to my right would provide excellent cover if i were to try to flank, the turn in the alley way is a great spot for an ambush, and lastly the vantage point from the top of the burned out apartment is my only weakness. I use all these powers of observation ( Read more... )
