Waiting for my ride home...

Payday! Finally! First pay of the school year, and I find I am making a whole $21.47 more per check than last year. Oh, the pageantry. I am so gonna pizza my brains out.

I left the Cubs game on the puter with them ahead 4-0, and they lose 13-5??? THIRTEEN RUNS??? To the frikkin' NATIONALS??? Seems the Cubs bullpen decided they were all going to suck on the same day. One reliever gives up a grand slam, another gives up the insurance run, and still another lets the Gnats put 3 more on the board, all while the Cub bats slumber. Good God. The Cubs offense and relievers had damned well better show up tomorrow.

Reason #259 of Why I Hate Teaching: The kid who believes he will be moving/transferred to a different school, and therefore feels the need to let his crappy attitude ruin my class and get in the way of my teaching. Yup, it's Phone Boy, from a few days ago. He's emancipated from his parents (probably because they couldn't stand him, either, but more likely) because he is 18. Yup, 18 and in a sophomore math class. Oh, yeah, he'll pass.

I lost Setanta off my Dish for no apparent reason. *sigh* So long, Aussie footy.
