I got tickets to a movie that’s only showing for one night. Tomorrow night. I got sick on Monday. I’m still sick.
Barring some sort of amazing immune system rally, I won’t be able to go.
And I’m really sad.
And snotty.
UPDATE: My immune system rallied enough, I chugged a boatload of Dayquil and kept a mask on while avoiding people in the mostly empty theater, and the movie was great. Then I went home and faceplanted.

allergies are turning my entire body inside out and i don’t have time to take more time off work so all I can do is suffer and whine a lot.

Someone is getting fired. District wide the internet failed right in the middle of high stakes testing.

Oh wow. How many administrators had to be hauled away for panic attacks?
-
My VP for sure! This is her first time being the school testing admin and I think her poor heart will never be the same. I am her support person at the middle school so I was there when she went “!!!” at our district testing admin . The panic made her forget how to do the most basic thing. So I’m glad I was there to go “<district admin> I got it.”

Lol, it failed again during our second session.
-
@junipersky Ooof.

Trying to find a house sucks. I keep finding beautiful houses about 10% out of our workable price range, while everything in my range is like, a murder shack next to a major highway. It’s discouraging and I hate it.

When you think a patient is a nice person…until they see some black kids playing on their bicycles in the street.

A cascade of events I do not understand and do not even with to pretend to begin to comprehend ended with our Social Studies teacher not being here for the rest of the year. (Was she fired? Asked to just leave and they’ll pay out the rest of her contract? I have no idea.) Since we can’t just have the children not supervised they asked me to step in and cover the last few days.
To do:- Finish teaching for the rest of the year any concepts not covered.
- Finish any grading that she hadn’t been able to do (this was holy shit)
- Give them a way to make up for anything earlier in the year (unique to our system because we don’t do letter grades, but competency.)
This is all fine, I can do this. At this point in my career I’ve done enough of almost everything that I can step into any classroom temporarily and help it limp along.
My peeve:
MIDDLE SCHOOL KIDS. Oh my god. I love them, don’t get me wrong, I absolutely adore them and all their weirdness.
BUT THE THINGS THAT FLY THROUGH THE AIR WITH ALARMING REGULARITY THAT SHOULD NOT FLY THROUGH THE AIR EVER.

When I say “keep your feet on the ground” and then you go to another tree and climb up it while I am still standing there there will be consequences.
I don’t care that you are safe. I do not care that you have 1.5 days until you are no longer a child I’m legally liable for keeping safe during school hours.
It isn’t even about the safety issue any more. It is the fact you were too teenager to not get caught. Don’t be stupid children!

Outdoor party season has started in my neighborhood and I fucking hate it.
I didn’t always hate it, either. When we had actual block parties, it was fun! But this isn’t a block party. This is one single family that moved in across the street. They invite 30-40 people over to their 1,200 square foot rowhome and because there’s no reasonable way to accommodate that many people in their house, they move the entire party into their front yard…
Speakers and all. I don’t mind that they’re playing music. I don’t even mind that they’re playing music so loudly that I can hear it clearly enough to make out every lyric through my closed windows. I live in a city. It comes with the territory.
I do mind that they’re playing (terrible) music so loudly that I can’t hear my own television turned up to full volume and the bass is physically shaking my house.
Best of all, they’re going to be doing this for at least the next six hours.

If you sneeze while eating the food in your mouth can go up your nose. You can also not realize it till you start blowing your nose and food comes out of said nose.

@junipersky My eyes got real big as I read this post. I’m sorry.

makes note
There is food… in… my nose… -
@junipersky i did this with a french fry once
do not recommend
-
Like I theoretically knew it was possible? Cuz like, laughing till milk comes out your nose is a thing. But… solids?!
-
I once threw up and was blowing noodles out of my nose for at least a day. The human nasal cavity is a marvel in how it seems to have absolutely no space for a little bit of snot, but can fit an entire four-course meal under the right conditions.

@Jumpscare Those two different things are the same thing if you’re young enough. As I am constantly reminded by a small human who lives in my house.
He/Him. Opinions and views are solely my own unless specifically stated otherwise.

@Pavel My dog is a huge fan of used tissues. The more snot the better. They’re one of the worst answers to the question, “Hey, what tf do you have in your mouth?!”
