I had a random Buffista encounter today! I was crossing the street to get to my bus stop and in the middle of Michigan Ave I ran into Brenda, who appeared to be doing the same thing. Brenda if it hadn't been the middle of Mich Ave I would have stopped to chat.

I was going to say something about teens and pregnancy, but I decided it would just get my blood pressure up. sigh.

Welcome to my world. I get really really angry and then I realize, so what! This is part of how systemic poverty becomes inherited poverty. One of the girls was talking about how she could do this because essentially her mom (who is like 10 years younger than I am) was going to "help," and I could only think, "yes because she did such a great job with you! That's a plan." Some things are better left unsaid.
I have so much grading. It's ridiculous.
ARGH. Every time I send my boss a piece of information, I get an email the next day asking me to send the same thing. I should just stop bothering to send her anything until she asks for it, right? Because this is getting to be a ginormous waste of my time.
I knocked the handle off my coffee mug this morning. The day could have started better.
I've been awake but trying to pretend otherwise since 4:00, and I made my coffee too weak.
My day also could have started better.
Does anyone know where I put my stamps?
