Seven 9s and 10s

High-res I hate this phrase so much. The truth is: the chance that you actually land anywhere is incalculably small. The more likely scenario is that your lifeless body will just continue cruising through the ever-expanding vastness of space until at some point, maybe a billion years from now, you just happen to encounter the gravitational pull of a larger object and you slowly but surely spiral around it until eventually you either incinerate as you pass through its atmosphere or you get vaporized as your frozen flesh violently impacts its surface. Inspiring!

High-res GPOYW Gave a brief speech before tonight’s Board of Education meeting in an attempt to define the impact of a proposed staff reduction in the technology department. That reduction could possibly be me. It seemed to be very well received by the board, it garnered applause from the audience of community members and district personnel, and my words received direct acknowledgement from the both the Superintendent and the ASI for Curriculum during their subsequent budget presentation. Let’s hope I made an impact and that it’s not too late for the decision makers to reconsider their proposition.

I spent 11 years (‘96-‘07) working full time at a golf course.

I have played the role of every person involved in this video.

  1. I’ve been run over (yes, it hurts).
  2. I’ve jumped out of a moving cart (yes, it’s fun; yes, it hurts).
  3. I’ve laughed hysterically at someone else losing control of a cart (yes, it’s funny).
  4. I’ve chased down a runaway cart and stopped it (yes, I’m Superman, and I can do anything).
  5. I’ve accidentally caused a cart to drive off on its own (yes, the small tree near the water stand behind the 16th green at Shadow Pines saved the day and still bears the scars to prove it.).

I didn’t realize it at the time, but those were 11 of the best years of my life. I may never again have a job that good.

High-res GPOYW On my way to lunch, earlier today. I wasn’t happy. It’s hard to give yourself the finger while simultaneously using the same hand to snap a selfie in your car’s visor mirror with your phone.

Mastodon - Iron Tusk

One month into the school year and work has only grown more stressful and soul-sucking than ever before. I see no end in sight. This song represents what my brain feels like every waking hour [that I’m not eating grape pie].
