Art Teacher Collapses

Many people in the tri-state will recognize the name Jon Siau. Well, yesterday he fell ill (?), and I was asked to fill-in for him while he is out. It looks like he may be out until the end of this semester (at the very least). At any rate, today is a half-day for finals, so I'll be going home early. I have to admit that it's nice to get off work at 10:40am. I'll probably go home and wait for the UPS driver. They're supposed to be bringing one of Kristina's presents that I ordered today. I still have lots of wrapping to do, so we're gonna be busy for a while. On a final note: I really like That 70's Show. Eric and Donna have such great chemistry! :-D

Tired of Telemarketers?

If you live in Indiana, you may go here and add your name to the online no-call list! The process takes a while (mine said 105 days), so you better get an early jump! The site is hosted on the Attorney General of Indiana's website.

High School

This story is one that I'm happy to see. As a substitute teacher, I grow quite tired of hearing students say, "Oh, that's gay," or calling each other fags. The high school in the spotlight not only appears to be a cut above the average school's gay and lesbian tolerance level, but several notches higher on the maturity meter as well. One thing that you have to wonder, though, is whether or not the school is more tolerant to gay males. It's been my understanding that regardless of how lesbian-acceptance has flourished, gay-acceptance generally has not. Any thoughts?

I took the Polygeek Quiz. Here's the output:

You are 31% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.
