Teachers, Nose Jobs, and Reds Games

If you follow the reds at all, you'll understand this. Adam Dunn: 1 home run, 2 strike outs.

I finished the shed doors finally. I must admit, I'm pretty awesome.

Lightning McQueen broke her nose yesterday. The thing is that new cars can have a minor fender bender and still cost up the rear.

Another reason why teachers get the shaft? Curt had an interview for another job, got offered it. The catch? He'd lose his 10 years pay experience, his master's pay increase, and start over at 0 years. That's a $14,000 pay cut. And that is the norm for Indiana schools. Tell me how that's acceptable. Sure, we get nice vacations, and there is usually job security. But we get treated like kids. There's a teaching crisis going around; administrators can't understand why they can't keep experienced teachers from leaving for other professions. Hmm.

Hey get this - someone actually ran into my car today. Not the other way around. So yeah, I guess this is fender bender week. Funny thing is I was doing a training session, and someone had to interrupt it to tell me my car got hit. After the way this week has been...who needs a beer?

I think you should go and do whatever Katie's husband does. Then you can move near me and I xan se the twins more often. Except I don't want you to travel like Greg does. I want you to be at home a lot and come to my house for cook outs and stuff. You buy the steak and we cook it. Works nice, eh?

Scott drove his roof top bike rack (with bike in it) into our garage yesterday. The bike is in better condition than the car. Things happen in three's.

I hope sticky stick is okay. He doesn't drive does he? Ohhhhhh Nooooo!

Greg is in Salt Lake City at the moment...

$14000 pay cut? That's insane, considering what teachers make in the first place.
