All or Nothing

Last Thursday I was called to a rather dicey area (aren't they all) to sub for an 8th grade teacher. He teaches Honors English. Anyway, long story short...he's on jury duty and managed to get his ass on a jury. Great! I was there Friday and the last period of the day an actual fight broke out between two animals - I mean students - in my class. It's a long story but this one kid is just the living incarnation of Satan's spawn. He was already set to do 10 minutes of detention after school (the most I can give them without their parents' permission - as if most of these parents give a shit about these kids). He skipped out on both seeing the principal AND seeing me. He doesn't think he'll see me again. I can't wait to see his face tomorrow when security comes to escort him to the principal's office. He's also going to get an hour's detention for skipping out on the 10 minutes. Should've been a man and just sucked up the 10 minutes, dickhead. If only I could say that! What a bunch of waste cases.

I did get a paycheck for almost $800 for only 29 hours of work - which is why I put up with this shit in this economy. I just can't make this kind of money doing anything else. However, I think I'll be working all this week and I have those two damned English tests Saturday. There goes anymore intense studying. By the time I get home from that zoo I'm wiped.

I'm sorry to say this, but it is a zoo. These people have no manners. I've seen animals act with more dignity. I found a note about raping a girl on the floor the other day. It had no name on it. It also mentioned jacking off to her. These kids are the future of California. I hope I get out before I'm old, to paraphrase the Who.

I got my period today and I'm sooooooooooooooo tired I'm just dragging. The time change never helps me either (I just read Veleska's blog). I have to be at school at about 6:30 a.m. too an it's going to be pitch black. Jesus. I fucking HATE the time change. Why can't the government let well enough alone. We get like 8 months in the dark in the mornings now. If you're someone who has to get up really early like myself, it's like getting up at midnight. I feel like I'm walking into Starbucks at 1 am.

I've been lying in bed trying to study grammar. Could there be a more coma-inducing subject? I think not.
