There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
What would possess a man to knock on a locked door, when he knows that that door can only be locked from the inside? Especially when that door is the only way in or out of, say, a small bathroom. So far the only think I can figure is that Houdini used to [...]
Teaching is okay. In a couple of my classes, especially my senior class, they seem to really be into the subject. Or at least fake it pretty well. That makes it pretty easy. Today, however, it seems most of my freshmen are beginning to test me…to see how far they [...]
Where does the day go?
After spending 5 years doing nothing at my old job, I can honestly say being busy makes the day fly by. Today was the first day for students. It went by pretty good, I think. I have three classes. One of seniors…the other two, freshmen.
Man, [...]
I have done two things so far this week.
Work at school, and play Star Wars Battlefront.
Needless to say, all I have been dreaming about is…
School and Star Wars.
Every. Single. Night.
Students come back tomorrow. Have I had time to do lesson plans? No. When will someone be asking for [...]
I am employed.
I am also trying to get things sqaured away for Thursday (when school starts.)
I will post more when I catch my breath.
Today I went to training. What this means is that I sat around for four hours while people told me things that I could have just read for myself in the folder they handed me when I walked in the door. This is supposed to somehow help make me competent.
Afterwards I came home [...]
Tomorrow I’ll be in training from 8 until 4. I suppose that’s better than 8 until 5. I think it’s more an orientation than training, but either way it’ll take up most of my day.
It’ll be very nice to have some decent income again. It’s very sad that I consider [...]
Yes I’m gainfully employed. The first day for new hires is tomorrow. Nothing like the last minute.
I’ll be teaching World History and Sociology this semester and next semester, civics…and I’ll be starting to work on my master’s and certification. Somewhere in there I’ll be drawing a comic book too.
But tonight…I’m [...]
It’s late…I’m tired.
But I’m also Employed.
After an adventure packed morning taking my grandma to the eye doctor, I came home to a message on my answering machine. But I’ll save that story for tomorrow afternoon, when things are official.
Until then enjoy some comic art in color.
As I was sitting at my booth on Saturday I managed to crank out this figure. I finished it up today and am digging how it turned out. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any art here, so here’s something for you to look at on your Wednesday evening.
I may [...]
sweet moses…where do I start.
4:15 am: Alarm goes off. Time to head to the airport for our 7:40 flight. The airport is an hour and fifteen minutes away. Shower, get dressed and go over checklist.
4:45 am: Danny arrives. A few minutes later Marty pulls up. We [...]
Still no word from my efforts at gaining gainful employment. It’s amazing how much time one principal can spend on the phone. What’s even more amazing is the fact that the receptionist (or secretary, or whatever that type person is called at the school’s front office) doesn’t even have to check to see [...]
