Have I mentioned that I hate exams? They're so stupid. First of all, you've got half the teachers in the building giving a test this week. I mean, really!? Why can't the test you're giving just be the actual exam next week. Why does an exam have to be (for so many) a cumulative test on the whole semester? Dumb. Setting most of our kids up for failure...and stress. Not to mention the stress it puts me under. Yesterday the Bio teacher finally posted the exam study guide...15 pages long. Fuck! And of course there was no answer key. So my whole morning was spent riddling out the answers. Thank god for Gauth! This is an app where you can take a picture of any question(s) on a test and it pumps out the answer. Even math of every level with the steps on how to solve. It's amazing. Understood that kids are using it to cheat but for a teacher or parents trying to help out their kids? So helpful.
I cannot wait for Friday!? I can't wait to have NOTHING to do beyond cleaning the house and going to Aldi! So ready for hunkering down at home.
Oh, get this. And let me preface this by reminding everyone that I'm an asshole. Did you need that reminder? Shut up. Anyway, if you know my neighborhood on Christmas Eve, you know we do luminaries. It's lovely and I love it. The woman who used to organize all this said last year that it would be her last year. Well, my next door neighbor (Cari) and another up the street (Andi) decided to take over. (And part of the reason they did this is because they wanted to see where all the "HOA" money was going. BTW - we don't have an HOA so the collection of money is very suspect.) Anyway, a message went out on FB a few weeks ago about the luminaries (from my neighbors) and they requested A) a couple people to allow sand to be put in their driveway and B) volunteers to help distribute the bags and candles. Apparently it as crickets. and no one volunteered. Fast forward to about a week ago. Cari sends out a text to all the neighbors she knows asking for help. Many responded agreeing to help (she wanted about 10) but me...naw. I didn't respond. I know I'm an asshole but I don't want to do it. One of my neighbors actually, jokingly responded with "Hi Cari. Yeah, we just don't want to do it." He was kidding and agreed to help. However, before he put it out there that he was kidding, I almost texted in response and said, "Yeah, me neither." Oh well...like I said, I'm an asshole but I didn't volunteer to do this. Suck it. God, I really am an asshole. But hey, I work 5 days a week rather than 1 or 2 days. You've got the time. Oh and honey badger don’t care.
Dinner: I made the pork tenderloin last night so I'll do the chicken/Brussel sprout stir fry tonight. One of my faves.
Okay, best mosey. Later!
