I am not pissed off at you because I was tired, stressed or PMS-ing. I am pissed of at you because you acted/are acting like a bonehead.
I am even more pissed off by the fact that it doesn’t appear that you are even aware that I am pissed off at you.
Jesus, what do I have to [...]

I love teaching, but hate the BS and paperwork that goes with it.
I love making new friends, but hate that sometimes the assholes get a little too close before revealing their true nature.
I love being in the city when I want to use one of the best library systems in the world or have Ethiopian [...]

Just got home from our curriculum night, where we talk to the parents about our courses, what we’re teaching and why.
Most people get what we’re trying to do, to teach girls to be problem solvers, to be competent and confident.
But there’s always one, that wants to keep their mini-me swaddled in bubble wrap, away from [...]

Fuck audits.
Fuck the dirty looks from teenage girls who lost computer privileges for going on facebook during class. Actually cancel that, they make me laugh when they give me the big hairy eyeball.
Fuck! the over use! of exclamation! marks!!!!! (go here. pay close attention to #1)

Tonight I’m Mookie-ing and Dookie-ing as usual.

I was supposed to go my boxing class, and then [...]

Yeah, then I’m insane. I log in to Full Tilt every Friday night, somehow thinking that maybe this week will be different, that this week will be fun, that the poker gods might stop fucking with me. I play [...]

I am so angry right now. And upset. And near tears. But mostly angry.
Like, punch someone in the face hard enough to break my hand angry. And it takes a lot to make me that pissed off.
But someone’s accomplished it. And I know that that someone reads this, so let me just say:
Bravo.

Lying.
Cheating.
Poor sportsmanship well beyond the range of tilt.
Name calling.
Sexism.
Threats of physical violence.
Hiding behind anonymity to be an asshole to your friends and community.
Hardly honourable traits, are they?
One plus about all the blogger shenanigans over the last few weeks is that an interesting conversation has begun to play out in my head about honour, right, wrong, [...]

I read three things today that made me wrinkle my forehead and say “what the fuck?”
They’re blogger things, but it doesn’t matter what exactly they are precisely. The point is I was perplexed. Puzzled. Bemused. Bewildered.
Then a friend sent me this:

Say no more. I’ll just file it all in the same drawer that has the [...]
