I very much had a “God, they’re all so stupid” sort of day, and I spent most of the day feeling like I was getting my ass kicked, but I left work with my assignments set up and ready to go for all of my classes tomorrow, so it couldn’t have been that bad, could it? Surely not. But this was very much a “come home and look at want ads” day. I didn’t do that; I came home and sat in my chair and finished a book instead, a book that I very much need to think about some more before I write about it.

Wolf Jesus. That book was about Wolf Jesus. I was not expecting Wolf Jesus when I picked that book up, but that’s what I got.

Anyway, there might be a post about it in the next couple of days. We’ll see how capable of coherent thought I am. Today was the last day of state testing for a while; the last couple of weeks, between Fall Break, state testing, including one day that had to be rescheduled, a field trip, and half a dozen other things, has been pure chaos, and both the kids’ behavior and my mood has suffered as a result. The boss literally ended the day with “let’s all calm down and enjoy the rest of our week” during the announcements at the end of the day, and after the kids were out of the building I sat down at my desk and just went away for half an hour. I blinked and I’d been sitting there for long enough that, had I gone out and gotten in my car, I’d have been home.

I wanted to do some video gamery tonight– I have been enjoying the hell out of Mortal Shell II— but fuck it, it’s 8:30 and pitch black outside. That’s bedtime somewhere, right?
