I always hate when people are sad but… I told this guy straight off the bat that I’m in a monogamous relationship. Had some excellent conversations with him about socialism. He kept trying to kiss me. He’s a nice guy. He’s mostly sober but on a bender because he can’t deal with the world. Damn, do I get that. But fucking boundaries, man. I finally just up and left mid-conversation.

Happy that my current representative has a spine. I’m in the midst of a move, and my new representative, not so much. Just emailed him to let him know I’ll be campaigning against him in the future.

Thank you!

I officially got the job offer that had been in HR limbo for awhile, so that’s a huge relief! Less than a week until the big move. Trying to force myself to take a breather now and then between frantically getting things done.

This checks for me as a teacher. It’s obviously not a cure all since there could be many other things in play, but it’s wild how much progress kids with major behavior issues can make when they’re given consistency.
