i'm fxxked.

at a time when jobs are scarce, i may have doomed any reason for the district to want to hang on to me, despite...

canker sores suck.

look up "fuck-up" in an on-line dictionary, and you just may see my pic.
minor details like not renewing my teaching license (31 days overdue) AND not taking the required 3 credits in three years...man, those suits at Teachers Standards & Practices Commision must have also entered me into their personal databases under the above mentioned header.

weak-ass snow removal resources shut down too much of the city and canceled my flight home for the holiday....boo!

sister re-booked us to leave on the 27th. i'm happy to have not had to go wade though all the pissy masses at the airport; she did it over the phone prior to trying to get...

yay! snow day tomorrow announced already.... a day to catch up on grading, play more video games, and perhaps do long over-due laundry. being from so-dak, i still just shake my head at what little it takes to mess up this minor metropolis when it comes to snow/ice.

paperwork sucks... dec.1st deadlines are crappy due to my procrastination and perfectionist tendencies.
ugggh.

highlight of my week was meeting the only porn star besides Ron Jeremy that I'd give a crap abou meetingt: Belladonna was doing a signing... perhaps if she would've talked dirty I would've had a more genuine smile in the polaroid. my "picture-say "cheese" smile" always sucks ass... wonder how many...

brother's wedding turned out not-so-hoiwty-toiwty, which was swell. the mom-in-law was down to earth and very appreciative of my sister and i making it out. the blizzard that closed down South Dakota a few days before the wedding kept my mom, sister Sara, and her boyfriend from making the trip.....
