Today was a teacher record day, which means no kids. I love teacher record days; I don’t have nearly enough time to just sit at my desk and get shit done without having to stay way after school and do it (I average one day a week that runs less than nine hours without getting any desk work done; ten-hour-days aren’t happening) and I managed to get quite a lot of work done today, even managing to come up with somewhat of a solution to Yesterday’s Unpleasantness that doesn’t violate everything I know about decentness and proper educational technique. It does look like most of the staff is refusing to put student names on these things; the legal issues involved are still in limbo and I’ll be addressing them with the union in the near future– just not tonight. I need to work on other stuff tonight.

So, yeah– the day ends, and I’ve finished most of the stuff I wanted to do, and I get in my car. Since it’s Friday, I head directly to OtherJob, pondering along the way if I’m hungry or have any shopping errands that need doing. The answer to both is negative; I’ve eaten two big meals today (I always grab breakfast on the way to work on teacher record days; it’s the only time lately that I allow myself to have McDonald’s, since I love their breakfast burritos) and, well, unless I go get stupid and buy a new computer I just don’t have any shopping to do right now.

(Wait, shit, should have bought a new pair of jeans. You remember why, I assume.)

About two minutes from OtherJob it hits me that, since I left work promptly at what would be the end of the school day and didn’t stop anywhere, I am about to arrive at my second job an hour and a half early.

Uh. I guess I’ll… blog, then? Sure. 🙂
