Today we will be going meet with the Vice Principal & C's math/spelling teacher regarding a day last week in which she was given five detentions for talking in class during a clay project (not direct instruction time).  This teacher has singled out C all year, but being called out for talking inappropriately is reasonable imho, even if you're the ( Read more... )

No boss, I actually don't like doing graphic design projects for your stupid personal crap for the money you pay me. No matter how cheerful you are when you call, it won't actually make me any more excited. What it actually does is make me want to reach through the phone and choke you.

 Never have problems sleeping, but I sure did last night! I'm thinkin' that gigantor decaf iced coffee wasn't so decaf. Wawa has a bad habit of mixing up their carafes & often you're playing russian roulette with your caffeine intake there. So I finally dozed off somewhere toward 2:30 this morning.

Just keep bumping up against this struggle over being a beginner. It keeps me from doing all sorts of things I'd love to be able to do.

GRRRRRRRR.

 Just got switched from the awesomest PPO in the universe to an HSA, which is so confusing I don't even know how to use it except that I now pay for everything out of pocket until suddenly I don't. I'm on a couple of expensive meds and am due for a new CPAP mask, and I see my MD about once a month. I'm supposed to pay for this HOW?!GOD DAMMIT

...I got a twitter account. I'm illusiongrl.

Sigh. I resisted for so long. But the fangirl aspect just couldn't be ignored in the end.
