Today sucked.

No, really.  I know I’m prone to exaggeration.  Today sucked.

I didn’t go in yesterday on account of consequences from bad eggs and the fact that I was completely unable to sleep Sunday night– I have a personal rule that if I don’t get a certain minimal amount of sleep I don’t go in to work regardless of how I feel, because I cannot function as a math teacher (and my id tends to get set free) past a certain point of sleep deprivation.  I was already sick enough to call in and then once the no sleep got added on there was no way I was going into class.

Apparently I fell into some kind of goddamn time warp, because my students have apparently had no math instruction of any kind at any point in their entire lives.  And I do not have the patience for feigned fucking helplessness right now.  I don’t have the patience for kids with so little involvement in school that they can forget something we spent all last week talking about every day, much less shit they’ve covered in literally every math class since fourth grade and now want to pretend they’ve never seen.

I am at the point where I seriously think these assholes should be allowed to just drop out and see if their invincible goddamn pig-ignorance can get them anywhere in life.  Once they’re fucking homeless and enslaved by debt maybe they’ll realize that paying attention in school for five goddamn minutes might have been a good idea.

(They won’t, actually.  They’ll just blame me for it.)

Fuck my job.  Days like this make me want to quit.  And fuck them for making me this way.
