I sent mac off today with 5 completed homeworks. All of them were late, but I foolishly believed it caught us up. The teacher at dismissal today tells me that there was another paper due today. He turned in one that was due 3WEEKS AGO!, but there was another one that they have worked on in class that was due today and if it didn't get turned in, then it was to be homework. Annoying, yes, but also? why was it NEVER WRITTEN IN HIS HOMEWORK BOOK!?!? I have asked the teachers to check it for assignments, because I cannot even work on getting stuff done if I do not know about it.
And I do NOT want to spend my whole evening doing homework with him again. I want to go work in the yard or watch tv.
I have done something to my right thumb, no clue what, to the point where I bought a thumb brace. It feels like it did RIGHT after the thumb surgery I had 10 years ago. Lifting anything or anything that requires my thumb to, you know, be a thumb, hurts.
I've got crud to do. This is not on.
Those are very cool dresses, if completely unwearable!
Thanks all -- it is most gratefully appreciated.
Belated hairpats, Theo!
msbelle, do the teachers expect the kids to fill in their assignment books on their own (as in, not all at one time, together)? If so, you might have to actually ask for a conference to discuss them checking it daily to make sure work is written down. We had to do that with Jake.
So Andrew Shirvell, the Michigan Assistant Attorney General that was stalking and slandering the current U of M student body president who is openely gay, was fired today. Now, of course, there is an uproar about how people cannot be fire for free speech! IT'S AGAINST THE LAWS!!
Are people, in general, just really that ... dumb? Do they really beleive that you can go out and be a giant prick fuckass bigot and that the First Ammendment will protect your JOB? Even if you being a giant prock fuckass bigot REFLECTS ON YOUR EMPLOYER?
Really? People think that?? Lots of them?
I weep for ... everything and everyone.
Interrupting Aims's understandable outrage to say you have email, lady.
Yes. They think freedom of speech also protects conservative commentators from losing their jobs as well and Rush Limbaugh's right to buy a football team.

Yeah, just like it's "free speech" for a pharmacist to deny birth control to his patients for religious reasons.
