Fourteen students from a nearby middle school came to visit my kids at the special needs school today. I was put in charge of the camera. I was quite glad to see that it was a digital camera, because while the good pictures I take are brilliant, I have to shoot a lot of crap in between.

I was snapping a picture a second, because it's hard to take a photograph of a handicapped child (all but two of the students are wheelchair bound, bodies bent at a 45-50 degree angle at the waist) and her two helpers while the three are involved in stamping calendars. You don't often get a chance to get one, let alone three, faces in the picture, so I figured I might as well snap whenever it looked like a good scene might present itself. I think I was doing pretty well.

I say 'think' because, haha, I apparently didn't manage to take any pictures at all. This fact was discovered approximately five minutes before the visit ended and approximately thirty seconds before the battery died. So there are possibly two pictures.

I feel so bad for those poor kids, because they aren't going to have any pictures to take away from the visit. One of the teachers in charge of the middle school kids had a camera at least; I hope she took some good photos on it.

That will be all.

No. I had a surprise seven classes sprung on me last week, and since I can't call the cable company outside of weekday working hours, my plans were foiled.

And yes, four is the pretty, isn't it. I'm going to go buy it today.

How dare they! Those evil people who make us do work! What do they think we're here for. Don't they know i've got much better thuings to do like writing porn and making my doujinshi site all pretty. Now a question. On my schedule they put me down for classes on friday. I'm on holiday friday. Should I tell them, or do you think they will attempt to reschedule the not-small number of classes to other days, which also have not small numbers of classes on them? As such, should I keep my big mouth shut?

Tell me about it! I honestly wouldn't have minded had I any advance notice whatsoever, but I hadn't. So one of the underling teachers comes up to me 5 minutes after the bell has rung and tells me to get to class.

"What class?" I ask.

Because while my schedule had been changed for over a week, NO ONE THOUGHT TO TELL ME ABOUT IT. Which of course made me look like the ass.

But anyway, I'd go ahead and tell your teachers about your holiday, and offer to reschedule the classes for some time in the far future. That way they won't have any excuse to get pissed at you for just not showing up, and you can get the preemptive hint in that you aren't going to be teaching those lessons any time soon.

Damn you to hell for being able to dl them at all. (Although I openly admit that I only watch the anime for the voices. Ah, the lovely, lovely voices.)

Now that's not very nice. But oh shit they're only at 61 percent. What's up with that? Don't they know my brains are bulging out my nose I wanna see it so bad. Speaking of wanting to see things very badly, I've just been teasing the American 'cause i've got the new Mirage of Blaze dowloaded. Oh but hang on, you probably consider that one of those supposed "obscure fandoms" don't you..

No, I know Mirage, b/c of the novels. Nothing obscure there;-) I can't wait until I drop this shitty ISP for another, better, greener pasture.

Oh, check it out: my ISP just happens to be docomofo. Go figure.

Join us in the world of high speed internet connections! It's a happy place. It's silly though. My computers at school and at the BOE are supposed to be 10 times faster than the connection I have in my apartment, but it's all a lie cause they run at more or less the same speed. Wierd. How's the writing going?

Well, so are mine, but they run at roughly the same speed as my shitty connection. And why? Because the people at this school are totally clueless when it comes to maintenance and virus protection.

These things are so filled with dirt and loaded with spyware it's a wonder they run at all.
