11:37 pm	I'm a teacher...I think So, just a quick bitch session in case anyone bothers to check an lj that is really out of date. Like Polish jokes out of date. Anyway, SLPS is mucking up my attempts to teach again. Got my certification for Social Studies at Humboldt, then found the position itself was cut due to low enrollment, which displaced alot of teachers, all who got jobs before me because of seniority with the district. So, right now my certification is worthless, and students report tomorrow morning. I smell conspiracy. The PR releases for the district are crowing about how this year so many many more certified teachers are in place, vs. the many permanent subs that were in place last year at the start of the year. So, follow me here - Use low enrollment numbers to reduce teaching positions to push out anyone who doesn't have certification, or at least enough trimming to change the percentages by ten points or more. Then, announce all the great first day numbers - which will be wholly inaccurate within two weeks as the actual enrollment unfolds and permanent sub teachers are called in in droves to help the overwhelmed staffs of schools that will probably have more than 30 kids a room before the first week is out. I dunno, I'm assuming a lot of craftiness where there might not be any, but there certainly is a peripheral benefit PR wise to delaying the hiring of the non-certified folks until a week or two into the year. And that's what it looks like I'll be doing now. I have no idea if I'll get called tomorrow morning or even this week, but an e-mail I got from the new director of HR for the district this morning told me there are still vacancies to be filled, just not in social studies, so you know, I can teach again for 30 bucks less a day, no benefits and no vacation/sick days for the year. Enough, I know it's not an exciting read, I apologize. I have good friends who have dealt with much bigger issues this week and to them all the empathy of the LJ I would defer. Meanwhile, I'll wait around some more and pretend that sitting at home selling my football cards on eBay is fun. (Actually, it kind of is...) (Comment on this)

4:44 pm	cycles and psychos So ummmm...this is a newsbreaker...and cousins and brothers don't need to let this one slip to the folks - but a certain couple you know is trying to make babies this summer. The two-week long sex binges are good...and someone is surprisingly nice during that time, but not so much while waiting to find out what is up with their now 50 plus day cycle (guys, ask a girl - they'll wince and then explain). But all tests are negative, and it's not like I have real reliable sperm - you know, they're lazy and bad at swimming, just like me. Anyway, folks on a 50 day cycle are not the most fun company. Something to think about fellas...wrap that wrascal... (1 Comment |Comment on this)
4:39 pm	another day, another 15 cent So we tried to make ice cream today in summer camp. Instead we soaked the floor, tables and unfortunately some equipment in an art room at Webster U. And no-one's mixture froze...and then two of the little girl's I-pods got stolen by one of the 12 other kids in the room. I'm starting to think I MAKE the kids wild, rather than me just getting wild kids. Where's a behavior management course when I need one!?! (Comment on this)

11:03 pm	back like sean carter... So, I hope the two people reading this really enjoyed the detailed narrative I kept on my first year of teaching... Hello to many who I haven't hollered at in a while - cousins, friends, friends of friends, etc.... Right now I'm waiting for the State Bd of Ed to meet in Missouri to approve my temporary teaching certificate for the fall. Which makes me sound a hell of a lot more important than is the case. Apparently if you have any misdemeanors or felonies involving "moral turpitude" on your record, whether "sealed" or not - you can only be certified with a unanimous approval of the standing Bd. of Ed. Blah blah - basically another facet of the problems my school district has - in addition to the "forced" resignation of the superintendent who had only been on the job 15 months. The big deal is, our district will lose accreditation sometime in the next two years if major changes aren't made in student test scores, professionalism of staff, etc. That means the state comes in and takes over, and they get to be the new scapegoat for the failure of the district to ensure quality education. After the recent surprise resignation (following a local school board 4-3 no confidence vote in the supe), the mayor came out and said it was "a damn shame" and hinted that the district is best off going into the state's hands. And yet....I might not be "good enough" to teach in the district. On the bright side, teaching does kick ass, lots of stress, lots of fun, lots of love. I'm working some summer camp right now, a summer SCIENCE camp. I happen to be one of those folks who thinks they are intelligent, yet wholly fail to grasp most of the science I've had in my umpteen years of school. So, I'm a little out of water, not to mention having a different type of student - one that is upset if they're not learning. good experience though... enough blabber - I seem to remember some LJ etiquette about not making long posts. My apologies - for that among other sins Peace (11 Comments |Comment on this)

10:09 pm	gettin' right with the man.... just kidding for anyone who has actually suffered through the CMT video or the song itself... But seriously - not trying to be preachy here, but had a Godsend moment today. All the monkey on my back about not having fully disclosed my drug&alcohol arrest events of waaaaaay back in '98 is/are finally departed. After arriving over half an hour late to new teacher orientation today, thanks to misinterpreting some directions, and then parking in a tow-away zone, and then missing the garage entrance the first two times...seriously, I should have had to take a new driving test to get a license in MO... Anyway, I got into the orient. class just in time to hear the lady re-iterate that if we did not fully disclose any charges brought against us that the FBI fingerprint check (so much for closed fucking records...) brought up, the dishonesty was grounds for immediate termination, but we could have one more chance to update the forms we filled out today before our profile was finalized. So - it was totally worth sending the evil monkey back into Chris Griffin's closet to buck it up and ask for my application back to "update my criminal history." Felt much much better afterwards - still imagine I could lose the job upon review of the charges themselves, but at least I put it all out there. The joy was short-lived as I then went to the school and spent the next four hours discovering just how much unbelievable chaos & confusion & overwhelmingness this job will be. But it's like the good kind of stress, you know? Have an awesome mentor in the 8th grade math teacher who is pounding me with info, and going to make it possible for me to actually have five weeks of lesson plans ready on monday in case the superintendant wants to see them on the walk-through....yeah - you read that right, hired on Monday, official start date actually the coming monday, and I have to have 5 weeks of lesson plans... Meanwhile, I couldn't quit staring at the Op Ivy patch (someone please know who that is...) on his jacket. Cool mother fucker, bringing chaos down to manage-ability. Tomorrow will be decorating room day, cause it actually is important to have something up for the students to look at. Then all weekend busting out those lesson plans & making copies....the Everson....Eversonorator...Eversonisti...makin' da copies...copy-o-rama.... kudos to early 90's SNL (1 Comment |Comment on this)

3:24 pm	what, I didn't get kicked off? so I've been completely inattentive to this whole blog thing - fortunately livejournal doesn't hold it against you like a woman does... BIG BIG news on my front - I said fuck off to my shitty office job! Not verbatim, it was more like I showed up in a tie with my shirt tucked in for a change and said, "ummm - we need to talk" - to two of my bosses. They weren't happy, but they were understanding. So the scoop is, as of Monday Morning (Aug. 22nd) - I will be Mr. Everson - 7th grade Math teacher at Humboldt Middle School in the excellent city of St Louis. FOr anyone who knows me well enough, sure, I'm good at math - but I've only taken two math classes in the 8 plus years (only 6 in attendance) of college, and I've only had two semesters of teaching courses, both of them the introductory level at different schools. So what gives? Apparently teachers are in short supply in St Louis City schools, otherwise they wouldn't have been interviewing one week before classes start, huh? I found out late Friday the 12th (after 5) that I was wanted for interviews on Monday the 15th. I was cruisin' at the time, so the lady said she'd e-mail me the details. Not a single e-mail from the lady all weekend. So, after taking shell's advice not to call her at her home phone (my guess from white-pages), I get ahold of her Monday morning and have a small debate about whether or not she e-mailed me. I won, she admitted she didn't. To be fair though, the woman is responsible for staffing 92 different city schools, so I get why she might have overlooked me. Problem is, I'm unshaved, unshowered, and it's 8:15....I'm a good half hour drive from anywhere in the city, combined with my pathetic inability to find my way around even a round room...and my first interview (of three) is at 9:00 Oh shit. So, a phone call later I buy myself half an hour on the first interview - great first impression, huh? I get there just about 9:30 - and have to wait for over half an hour before the principal sees me - and it's not like she had anyone in her office. The wait didn't matter - I got my ass handed to me by the woman. So much so that I wanted to work for her, just to prove myself as able. As she grimaced her way through my answers "no I have no classroom experience, no I don't have a math degree, no I have no experiences in urban settings" - I saw the whole hope for a teaching job in the city slipping away. Yet, at the end, she cracked a smile for the first time & said she was interested. I kept my jaw up, but barely. Told me to call later after my other interviews and tell her what I thought. That's a woman I have a whole lot of respect for - she cares about her students and having decent staffing for real. Next interview is 10:30 - and of course I'm already late by the time I can get to my phone to call them. This time I have a much younger female principal interviewing me (the first lady had to be in her 50's) and I'm a little more prepared, but turns out she is a protege of the first principal - and she flat out tells me early on that she's not putting me in a classroom - based on my lack of experience in class & in urban settings. Quite the theme of the day. She did however, want to have me work in a math resource lab, but wasn't positive she had the funding for the position. I make it on time for the last interview, but the principals aren't there to interview me - they got pulled away to a meeting elsewhere. After waiting for half an hour or so, they called into the school & talked to me, and we set a new time for later that afternoon. I got lost in the city for the next hour, having not had the foresight to print out directions home... And once lost, I had no choice but to get home, because I knew I wouldn't be able to find my way back to the school w/o some internet directions. Thank God for mapquest & yahoo mapping. So I get home just in time to leave to go back, and of course I'm racking up car miles, all in pounding rain that only adds to my stress levels. One good thing about the first two interviews was that they gave me advice on how to interview better - in fact the first lady straight up said "This is what I want to hear from you when I ask" - whatever question. So I go into the final interview brimming with positivity in my answers, etc... And only got asked one. Basically, it seemed a foregone conclusion that they were going to hire me - warm body type of thing - and spent most of the interview describing the position, down to when my lunch & planning periods would be. I left only half aware that I had just been offered & had accepted the position. Of course, nothing is that simple, despite the school's willingness to hire, it all has to be handled through and approved by the district. And there's a physical test, which I had been cramming for...but worst of all there is an FBI background check. I wouldn't say I have a sordid history - but depending on what they can pull up, well, technically I may have been charged with a felony at one point - which of course I wasn't convicted of - but I have no idea how the district feels about that, (btw for anyone who isn't aware of the event of which i speak - it was just drugs, nothing with kids or violence or anything like that), so I will be a lil' on pins & needles until that whole process is through. In the meantime, I have a lot of shit to do before Monday at 7:20 when I hold my first homeroom, followed shortly by my first math class, and I haven't even seen my classroom yet! Tomorrow, orientation for the district, and then later in the day hopefully I'll get to the school, and see what I have to work with. Friday, all day at the school itself, till late afternoon to come have my TB test looked at, and then go do a farewell to my many (wow am I surprised to say that) friends from Indoff at a bar near that ole office. Saturday i'll either plan on setting up the classroom some more, or else spend all day working on laying out my lesson plans (thank you again God, for the internet & google), ditto for sunday. Buried beneath all that, I almost forget i have to start my own schooling still on Tuesday night. Good thing I'm not smokin' anymore - I don't have the time! I'll be updating the mis-adventures in education regularly I hope, I'll definitely have to keep a journal for myself to stay on top of the classroom management & all. peace for now - advice more than welcome - I'm off to see if anyone is still at the building tonight (4 Comments |Comment on this)

10:01 pm	I realize I'm worthless So has anyone else tried this new Urban Garlic butter topping on their steaks at Applebee's? I'm really looking forward to it, but you know, no point in going to a generic ass food chain like that unless you have a gift cert.... I mean what is in the butter? 200 plus years of strife & prejudice? or really funny marijuana references? Or protest-ready political genetics? C'mon now... (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:56 am	trailers & stupidity So, since enough standardized tests have supported my ego-istic assertion that I am smart(never sounds that way when one says it though, huh?), I am always amused/amazed when I "discover" something totally obvious that I assume the rest of the world must have known all along. This thyme it's the word "trailer" in reference to the things that get pulled behind trucks & whatnot. Yep, I'm 26 and it just dawned on me tonight for the very first time that they're called Trailers because they trail behind the thing that is pulling them. I think I should lose some college credits for that one... Current Mood: but more like eye-rolling Current Music: anything from Garden State soundtrack (4 Comments |Comment on this)

6:59 pm	back off - I might bite so after ten years or so of smoking - I'm stopping cold turkey (for the most part - no smirk aim) and not getting alot of help around the house!!! Apparently, I have an extremely neg. attitude right now, at least according to the @%!&*%&)! I live with. You know, the person who sleeps till mid-afternoon everyday because she can't be bothered to work this summer, since she has the nice teaching job that she was able to get since I provided most of the income while she built up a solid history making no money as an aide. I'm just a LITTLE bitter right now. And on top of it, the bia-bia is trying to tell me what parts of the city I should teach in, because if I was in certain parts, it would stress her out too much. Again, for my readers, sorry for this venting, but I gots nowhere else to go and whine. on to other topics...whatcha all think about the whole NY times reporter going to jail thing? I don't have all the details, and I don't agree with exposing our CIA ops - but there is something damn fishy about the whole thing, and I don't understand why we are trying to limit our press even further. Half of us think it's too conservative, and the other half thinks it's too liberal, but it's not going to be worth a damn if it can't pull inside information thanks to reporters giving up sources (no offense to the guy from TIME - I hear his source gave them-self/ves up). Jail is for criminals who present a threat to the public, not for reporters who are adhering to their professional standards. Then again, M-Diddy (stewart) went to jail and Michael Jackson, O.J. and Robert Blake haven't - so why have any faith in our legal system anyway. For heavens sake - in missouri at least, the law is a complete joke. There are lucrative and numerous legal businesses that do nothing other than turn true driving offenses into "non-moving" violations so that we can keep shitty drivers on the road. There's a smart one for you... Gee - maybe my wife is right...I'm so horribly negative. Current Mood: aggravated Current Music: Puddle of Mudd - SHE FUCKIN' HATES ME! (3 Comments |Comment on this)

1:06 pm	stupid conservative forwards I love getting these things from family members...actually, from my godfather. Read the forward first, then my response. Here is the FORWARD: Couldn't have said it better my ownself.... Ask Me if I Care About 'Mishandling' of Koran By Doug Patton June 6, 2005 First, Newsweek pulled a Dan Rather on us, running a fabricated story just because they wanted it to be true. They told the world that an American guard at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, detention center had ripped pages from a prisoner's Koran and flushed it down a toilet. As a result, innocent people died when practitioners of Islam rioted in protest in Afghanistan. Oops, said Newsweek, it seems we can't back up our story. Oh well, it's probably true; we just can't prove it. (Isn't it convenient for Newsweek that the media now have "Deep Throat" to talk about so they can revel in their glory days and divert our attention from their criminal negligence.) The lie heard round the world about the flushed Koran has caused convulsions in the Bush Administration and forced the Pentagon to launch an investigation of unfounded allegations contained in an unsubstantiated story. The results of said investigation are now in, and it seems there are at least five incidents of "mishandling" of the Koran at Gitmo. Well, guess what? I don't care! Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11, 2001? Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan, across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania? Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning death that day, or didn't they? And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was "desecrated" when an overworked American soldier kicked it or got it wet? Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11. I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia. I'll care when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi tells the world he is sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling, slashed throat. I'll care when the cowardly so-called "insurgents" in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques. I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs. I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights. I'll care when Clinton-appointed judges stop ordering my government to release photos of the abuses at Abu Ghraib, which are sure to set off the Islamic extremists just as Newsweek's lies did a few weeks ago. In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care. When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college hazing incident, rest assured that I don't care. When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank that I don't care. When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being "mishandled," you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts that I don't care. And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled "Koran" and other times "Quran." Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and -- you guessed it -- I don't care! END OF FORWARD Okay, disgusting, right? All patritotic heart, but not a damn bit of brain, thus very, very misplaced MY RESPONSE: Remember folks - we're all concerned about preserving the American way of life, otherwise our rednecks wouldn't be spewing so much hate rhetoric. Remember that Islam is not the enemy of our country, although there are some enemies who are Muslim. If you got confused between my two terms there, then you need to do some mild research before you develop a concrete position on whom or what you don't care about. I was once scolded severely for burning a Book of Mormon as a child. I understand why now, because I don't think like a child, and I regret the decision. While I despise Newsweek for erroneous reporting that I also understand puts our soldiers at greater risk, I also despise the notion that we shouldn't care what kind of standards we hold ourselves to as a nation. If you are convinced that this is the best nation on earth, as I am, then you must also understand that we have to respect things about others even when they do not respect us. That's what is supposed to make us better, that we do not persecute our enemies, we prosecute them. That we do not hide the ugliness of war, that we deal with it in the open, and recognize the wrongs of both our own and of our enemies. This accomplishes two things. First, it allows us to recognize the seriousness of war, and to remember why we want to avoid it as much as possible. Second, if we are open about our actions, it allows us to maintain a conscience about our involvement. When we (as civilians) do not know what our military is doing, (and I'm not talking about security-violating real time updates or information that would compromise the safety of our forces), we aren't truly supporting them. We need to know the good and the bad, we need to know the pressures that they are dealing with so that we can appreciate their efforts and maintain ourselves as support for them. It is a disservice to hide our own errors from us. So....Jimmy needs to quit smoking crack and remember that if he's not fighting, it's his obligation to care about what happens to our soldiers, and what our soldiers are doing. True troop support requires both, not mindless forwards that set up false pretenses like our nation being attacked by Islam. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

11:55 am	Aruba...speculation So, real quick before they break whatever the actual story is...I think that what happened in Aruba is that the three "students" who have been detained are the culpable party, and that they initially tried to steer the blame to the two security guards. And as for the missing girls friend's who abandoned her to the security guards company in the first place, shame shame shame. The poor girl could have been dosed with Ruphes(sp?) or anything while at the club, and you don't leave friends hanging even if it's just cause they've had too much to drink. Someone always makes sure everyone gets back safely. The real lesson is that parents are damn morons for letting their kids go on a trip like that. You don't send your kid out of country to some sleaze-ass island resort (lets face it, they're like what, two rocks in the water away from that Hedonism place...), especially when you know (unless you're truly stupid) that they're going to be imbibing all the drinks at such a young age. Seriously. Sure, 7 out of ten kids handle it with no problem, but the parents of the three better have gotten an inkling what their kid is about by age 18! Enough mis-directed rant. On the flip side, had an awesome open house/house-warming yesterday. Mad thanks to dlust & aimsmiff for attendance, lavishing of gifts, and partying. Damn good time, plus shell a lil' outta her shell. Sorry I didn't provide any fireworks, but actually it was good for me to not party so hard for a change. Still two cars in the front yard as of noon next day, but what I'm really disappointed about (the only thing, everything else was awesome, thanks to all) was that there's a lot of beer left. Not that I won't take care of it...but shell might think my overestimation was just an attempt to start my own mini-resort in the back yard...I could be hiring security, invite up busloads of Mexican high school graduates for a senior trip....make them not drink, cause that's the law here, and then see if we can still manage to lose one in Lone Elks Park. My message is simple folks. There's no damn point in leaving the country, and to be perfectly honest, I'd stay away from New York & Florida, too. Enjoy the suburban safety of the nation that most of the Nielsen raters have...remember, you don't have to go visit it, because if it's significant enough, discovery channel or Nt'l Geo will eventually run a show on it. Oh and Mic - Penn Station is a chain sub sandwich shop that doesn't go the whole pathetically bland subway route - and a Dagwood is the best sandwich, cause you say "all the meats, All the CHeeses" - simple ordering.

2:28 pm	Penn station & "24" So, if there are any other 24 fans out there - do you ever get the feeling that if terrorists or other assorted enemies of 'Merica were threatening us with a nuke that George Bush (the midget version)would simply refuse to negotiate and leave us torched? Good thing it's only 3.xxx more years....I mean really, how much more trouble can we get us into under him? I've only got two close friends & a dad that have had to serve overseas thus far. It seems really wierd how unaffected most people are by this war. The patriotism of supporting the troops just seems to result in alot of American Flags on vehicles and mass marketing of magnetic ribbons. Sure, sure, 50% of the sales go to some fund that has veteran in the name, right? Don't feel like a tool for buying those at all.... Without the draft, the forces are more and more made up of people who have chosen the military for it's career or other finiancial benefits because those are their best options at the time. Of course during Vietnam there were also special exemptions for the well-enough off or connected, so even then the fighting forces were forged from the less affluent, but the lack of the threat of the draft looming over any american male does affect the sympathy, empathy and support that troops and their families receive. And of course our ever diligent media that can't manage to be consistently left or right on the issues ('cept for Murdoch/Fox) is always exhuming the worst stories...the wet Qu'ran, Lindy England's sexual maturation that went horribly wrong (I mean when a young woman is in love with her future babydaddy and he is a superior at work, well, those hoes usually end up taking some candid shots)...anyway, if they were consistently left or right, we could at least figure out how to read the freakin' news. Although we're off tons better than Russia or whatever that home of my favorite liquor is called these days. I heard today how the whole school siege in the last year or so was blocked from the television channels in Russia (under Putin's indirect or direct control) and soap operas were run on their stations instead. It's a wonder things haven't turned the corner there, at least we get variable facsimile representations of truth (not the incredibly annoying anti-smoking campaign that exploits teen virgins' pent up energy) for the news here. Back to Fox though, I seriously think "24" (as good as it is) is a partial government/right-wing brainwashing tool to get us to accept the post 9/11 loss of liberties that is somewhat, but not wholly necessary, and which is totally open to be exploited by those seeking power (obviously not including yours-underacheiving-truly). I mean seriously, I'm (self-conciously)totally open to torture of detainees, potetnial witnesses and the like after having watched 4 seasons of that show. It portrays the necessity to inflict pain on one individual in the interest of humanity quite convincingly. Although, now I'm going way off, isn't that kind of a core belief of Christianity, too? Ability to sacrifice one to secure the benevolence/health/life/etc. of many? Well, enough blabbering, I really should be working, but if I provoke any thought, worthwhile or otherwise, holla back. Oh and Penn Station Dagwoods are the best f'ng sandwich in the world (3 Comments |Comment on this)

3:41 pm	eureka So - being absolutely bored with life & the like (sorry for the cliche) I think I've found my saving grace here with the ability to really focus on some egocentrism and creating the illusion that people really give a hoot about my life. At least that's why my therapist recommended this course of action, as a means to feinting the jury into finding me a "sympathetic criminal" and hoping for a reduced sentence. Kind of like what most professors have wished for when perusing my papers...da-dun-dun-ching! If you really have nothing better to do, post me your theories on the meaning of life and I'll duly not not respond Oh yeah, and no magic/D&D geeks please.
