Mine Is an Evil Laugh

annundrielIt's probably wrong to feel gleeful when the other PE teacher tells you the kids will probably run the next day. But, oh, it's nice being on the other side of the equation for a change! Also, some of those kids...Grr. ::shakes fist::
You know you're in trouble when the other teacher tells you, "Fifth period you've got about, oh, five of the worst human beings on the planet."
It wasn't that they're disruptive or disrespectful, they've simply turned Doing Nothing into an art form.
Was Health today, but will be PE the rest of the week as there WERE NO LESSON PLANS. I was supposed to call the teacher, but she never got back to me.
I did get a good start on my port article. Yea, multitasking! I still have the fire district meeting to go to tonight.
Oh, that reminds me of something that annoys me work-wise. Especially in regards to subbing at the school. Sometimes I get a bit tired of people politely asking if I have my teaching certificate and then, when I answer no, asking if I plan on going back to school to get it.
I do not have my teaching certificate and I am not at this time planning on ever getting my teaching certificate. I do not want to be a full-time teacher. I used to. I have the utmost respect and admiration for teachers, especially now having been thrown in as a sub. But I do not want that career.
Today when I answered no to both questions, the person asking added, "So you're just waiting for a job to turn up." Nothing was meant by it, I'm sure. But at the same time, teacher subbing is only a third of my income. I'm at the library and I'm writing for the paper. It's like that eighth grader last year who asked me, "So when are you going to get a real job?" Um. Excuse me? I get paid every month, buddy. Seems real to me. Real and necessary.
Anyway. It's just one of those things that kinda gets to me after awhile. I like what I'm doing and how I'm doing it. If I need something different in the future, I'll change things.
So I am mostly using this mood (originally "mischievous") because it is seriously one of my favorite Castiel moments/looks in SPN. I NEED AN ICON.
But now I'm going to go find a heater and/or blanket and curl up with Guards! Guards! until I have to leave again.

Date: 2010-01-15 12:01 am (UTC)I don't have a copy of Men at Arms. Back in high school I was reading all of the Discworld books in an "order they were published" kind of way (which drove a few of my friends crazy). I'm going to have go looking for the sequel now.
