Month: September 2004

  • Progress!

    The morning has been spent documenting previous work done for a client to accompany the invoice, chatting with my contract regarding a product I sell, invoicing for another client, discussions with the insurance company, payment to the insurance company, verification that the rubber check I received is not to be rubber anymore, discussions with Dell regarding memory for a client’s computer, and discussions with Linksys on options for improving a client’s wireless network and how I can become a Linksys reseller.

    In closing I receive a phonecall from the school explaining that all other students had to be removed from the classroom because Tommy 3 times has shoved a nickle so far up his nose that you could not see the shiny part. Tommy in the background, “I’m suffocating!”

    Time to eat something.

  • Seeking Calm

    Man I could use some Valium (never had any) or Vicodin right now. Even some Meclizine would be helpful. I suppose I could have a sugar cube and tell myself to relax. I bet I could even read the ingredients and convince myself that the side affects were focus, productivity and income.

  • Politically Incorrect

    Tard-blog.com in it’s RITI SPED archives has numerous stories of special education teacher’s escapades and frustrations. According to my wife these stories originate in Knoxville (I have to wonder how many are influenced by Tommy). Apparently the creator of the site(offensive, adult oriented) comes from NC to see UT games and met RITI here (maybe more than ‘met’). The stories in Tard-blog.com do not offend me as I can see Tommy as the antagonist in many of them and as such I can empathize and laugh at the stories.

    A New Day!

    This Morning

    So yesterday I had an interview. I did a lousy job. I really need interview practice. I was too nervous. The job sounded exciting.

    I deposited a check yesterday and wrote several checks based on that deposit. At the end of the day the person that wrote the check that I deposited called to tell me it will bounce. Now I’m back to producing miracles.

  • Administrative Day

    Looks like today is turning into one of those days that control me. I must just go where the winds take me.

  • I hate politics

    School politics drive me ape. Totally unnecessary. When people put their career (teaching, administration) above the purpose (the students) then they need to be fired.

  • Of Grasshoppers

    Student: Do I have a choice?

    Master: You can choose to fight or choose to accept your destiny.

    This Morning

    Slept hard last night rising at 6:15. Shut the alarm off before it went of to not disturb the wife. Tried hard to get dressed without waking the dog–failed. When upstairs and tried to get Sarah out of bed without waking Amy–failed. Tried to handle my stress–failed. What could be a great day I started off with temper and anger. Let’s turn that around. Today shall be busy busy and we don’t need contrived difficulties.

    I had begun the day wanting to write on several topics but they have all faded. It is sometimes difficult to write about your life and live it at the same time.
