from tuesday…
Well that last entry was WRITTEN on Monday, but I didnt have time to post it, and when I went to post it today (Tuesday) OD wasnt working, so fuck, who the hell knows when itll get posted. Oh well it did in fact snow, in fact the day got a lot worse before it got better. When I changed trains at the halfway-point of my trip home, we sat and sat and sat on the tracks until finally they made an announcement that this equipment is being taken out of service. Well what the fuck does THAT mean? It means your ass is taking the fucking BUS home, thats what it means. Fucking hell. So, I had to STAND UP on a fucking BUS for an hour. Nice. Do I get a fucking REFUND of 1/25th of the fucking $200 I paid to ride a fucking TRAIN home every day??
Then I get home exhausted, and of course I have to shovel the driveway and play Dad, cuz the 4 y.o, wants to play in the snow just what I want to do, roll around in the freezing snow in APRIL. Turns out we actually had fun, though . I made her an igloo the snow was SO wet and packable one of those snows where it is SO wet that when you go to roll a big snowball for a snowman, it picks up ALL of the snow down to the bare grass. Anyway, it was better than standing around in the cold while she throws snowballs at me. Its a kick-ass igloo too. She can stand up inside, and I can sit up straight. Probably the best igloo Ive ever made. And thats saying a lot.
It was still snowing, so I didnt get around to shoveling the snow until 10:00. That makes for a nice relaxing evening. Shoveling snow in the middle of the fucking night.
The wife just got a job for a new client, so Im on baby-duty in the evenings. That doesnt really work, though since he wants to nurse every 45 minutes or so. Tonight well be trying bottles again we need to do SOMETHING with all that frozen breast-milk in the freezer. Well see if he does better this time.
Im looking at someones paper with a big headline about Syracuse winning the NCAA thing, and Im thinking not only do I not CARE I cant even IMAGINE what it would BE LIKE to care. A bunch of college kids playing basketball?? What the fuck? Theyre the same age as my students, and people are watching them play basketball on TV? Why? Dont these kids have a fucking exam they should be studying for? The whole phenomenon of college athletics just irritates me to no end.
Graded some exams this morning mostly 70s and 80s a few 60s and a couple 100s not too bad, right?
Thats out of 130.
Christ. This class sucks so bad that *I* want to drop it. Too fucking late now.
In other news, I got my schedule for next semester its my light half of the year only 2 courses BOTH on Tuesday and Thursday, with a break in between. SWEET! Its the return of the 3-day-work-week! I have no excuse for sucking next year. Which means I need to get started thinking about my classes NOW. I need to do some research at the library. Of course, that will be difficult, since my library privileges are on HOLD due to some overdue books. Dammit. I took a big pile back, but I still have more at home. Im so bad with crap like that. Luckily, it doesnt look like they really charge fines to faculty, as long as you bring the books back. Eventually.
I think thats it for today . Tuesday, that is. Not much else to say. And its not like Ill be able to POST the damned entry anyway!
D.
Feel my pain! Feel it! Actually, as of Monday, I could post again. It’s like they have two conflicting setups, so they have to alternate between them. When I can post, you can’t, when you can post, I can’t. it’s a great setup! 😐
