one day until the weekend! (although I'm taking tomorrow off, so the weekend starts sometime today for me)

I do have to go to a show tonight. Some of us from work are going to show our support for a couple of the record labels. shouldn't be a late one though.

Robert will get home sometime tonight. then we will lay around and be lazy tomorrow. I hope we go to the movies.

Donna, I'm SO glad to hear Marina is okay!

Everyone have a wonderful day!

I am almost finished reading all the threads here.. then I'm gonna log into Unix and play around there for a while.. see if any of that stuff can actually sink into my head.

Well, today I learned how to be a school data processing clerk. Sat in front of the computer registering kids for 9 hours. It was actually a valuable experience for me, because I never know when I might need to have these skills in the future.

And Cassie, at first I couldn't remember what to do, but after a few hours I was an old pro.

That was the good part of my day. Later I found our proposed new salary contract on the web. Wow, just what will I do with a $200 annual increase? Time to buy a bigger mansion.

Finally, I saw a mother of a former student of mine. She told me that her daughter was sexually assaulted over the summer. It really makes me want to vomit. This kid has a number of strikes against her, due to a crappy home life. She has always been a good student, but I just don't know how much more she can overcome and still succeed. Now she is staying with her grandmother so he won't have to go back to the same school. I told Mom that I would have her up to the house to spend some time with my kids and me. Sorry to have rambled on, but this is a typical example of what the kids at my school face in their lives. Sometimes it just outrages me, and I feel like I have to do something to try and make a difference.

Deb...

I think you are a wonderful woman. It takes a lot of strength to be able to become apart of those children's lives.. and watch them grow.. especially if they have a hard home life. I didn't have the best home life growing up (Certainly wasn't the worst either).. but I did have some wonderful teachers that taught me a lot more than just certain subjects in school. You are one of those teachers Deb. It takes a lot to do what you do.. and I'm thankful there are people like you out there.
