Yet another reason to hate Wal-Mart

If I could only find the words to depict my loathing of Wal-Mart....

Bringing the Reserves

So in our school district their are three middle schools. I teach at West, which is generally considered the "poor" school. East is considered the "rich" school. The track coaches at East are the biggest bunch of...well I'm sure you can imagine what I would fill in there. They are extremely arrogant, and always walkinto meets with this huge chip on their sholders like they are hot shit, and every one else can just kiss their asses. They had the nerve to say that since they have four meets this week, they are going to be sending their "reserve runners" to the meet we have with them tomorrow. Are you serious!? Way to send the message that you consider us to be such lousy competition, you don't even have to send your best runners. That kind of attitude makes me want to punch someone in the face. What kind of lesson are you teaching middle school kids when you tell them that another school in their district isn't good enough to warrant sending your best runners. These kids all go to the same high school. It's no wonder when they get there, the kids from our school think their kids are stuck up snobs. The kids can't help what their teachers and coaches have taught them.

If I only had the words to degrade them as much as they have tried to degrade us...

I HATE Bill Taylor

I don't know why I thought I would really get to see that a-hole face to face. He never followed through on setting up a meeting time for yesterday. I wish I could say I was surprised. I am seriously considering driving up and down the streets of Canal Winchester looking for the jackass, and boy help me if I find him. If anyone wants to join me in an old-fashioned mob lynching, let me know.

If I could only find the words to describe my hatred for William Taylor without raising the temperature of my already hot seat in hell...

What the Hell is wrong with people?

I have had some interesting incidents this week. It started yesterday afternoon. Some of the track kids were out on a long run down a main street in Gahanna. They were crossing a street, and a lady at the intersection was making a right on red. I guess she didn't see them, though how you don't see a group of 10 kids is beyond me, so she started driving and hit 5 of the kids with her car. If that wasn't bad enough....she drove away! She didn't check on the kids or anything....just drove away. What kind of person does that?
So today we have a track meet and we've told the New Albany team that is coming that they need to limit their entries certain events. They brought three buses of kids for goodness sake. Well they show up and the girls coach has decided she doesn't want to limit the kids, so throws a huge tantrum about letting all of her kids run in any event. We end up having to run 5 heats of several races, which causes the track meet to last way longer than it needs too. The 100 meter dash is exciting, but not when you have to watch it 5 times in a row with the runners in each group getting progressively slower. What kind of grown woman throws a temper tantrum?

If I only had the words to measure how much these two idiots have set back the women's movement.

**Note: I guess the ladies conscience kicked in and she turned herself into the police.

Friday Night Lights

Joe and I have been told many times that we should watch the show Friday Night Lights...that we would love it. So we borrowed the first season from Bob and have spent three nights this week wasting away watching the drama unfold before us. This show is extremely addicting. It's amazing that in half a season (a tv season) one character has been paralyzed, broke up with his cheerleader girlfriend for cheating on him with his best friend, gotten back together with the girl, asked him to marry him and sued his coach. That's just one character and we haven't even made it through season one. My favorite part is how they tease Joe by showing about 2 minutes of football. He thinks he's watching a football show, but really he's addicted to a soap opera. Before long he'll be joining me when I watch DVR's episodes of General Hospital.

If I could only find the words to explain the attraction I have for a 17 year old character (the actor is probably about 30) in a wheelchair.

Happy (early) Birthday Maria

Last night we went to the Patio Bar to celebrate Maria's birthday, all be it two weeks early. Lieutenant Dan's New Legs were playing, and they are such a fun band to go see. They cover old, and new hip hop songs. It was like deja vu when they played Poison by Bel Biv Devo followed immediately by Summertime by Will Smith considering those were two of the exact song we blasted in the 'stang on our way out to play cornhole with Bob and Courtney that same day. They have great taste in music :)

Today my family is coming over to celebrate Joe's birthday and we get to have ice cream cake. I'm pretty stoked about that. It'll help me get through the depression of having to go back to work tomorrow. Spring Break is officially over. Track season kicks off into full gear this week with our first meet. My calendar for April is quite full with track, wedding events for Matt and Emily and other assorted things.

Speaking of wedding events, I've tracked down my scamming photographer yet again and we have a tentative meeting for the 19th of April. Of course he thinks I'm Kelley looking for a photographer for my March wedding in 2010, but I think it's about time he gets scammed a little.

If I could only find the words to tell off Bill Taylor without getting arrested...

I'm going to explode...

Today is Joe's birthday so we went to Thurman's for dinner. I had the bacon cheeseburger which was the bomb. I completely gorged myself eating all of my chips, and of course the pickle spear. Typically I don't like mayonnaise on my burgers, but the stuff they slather on at Thurman's is so good. We got seats at the bar, which is fun because then you get to read all the crazy things people write on the dollar bills hanging from the walls. After dinner we went to see I Love You Man, which was funny. It always makes me laugh when we see movies about bromance because Joe and Bob have their own real life bromance, and a lot of times the things they portray in the movies happen to me in real life. For example, in I Love You Man, the two main characters Sydney and Peter talk on the phone for like 20 minutes right after they've just got done hanging out. I can't tell you the number of times I've witnessed a one-sided conversation that makes no sense to me, but has Joe laughing so hard he cries. I can't believe how long the two of them can talk on the phone with each other. They're like a bunch of girls.

If I could only find the word to explain why I'm still hungry...
