Played Elvis Costello's Pump it Up for the children today. No one knew it. I yelled "Know your roots!" and they looked a little taken aback.

Being That Teacher who lets the students listen to headphones while they work. I always worked better with music. It’s not like there’s a secret podcast of answers to Ms. G’s 7th grade chemistry test. And if there is, I want to reward the hard work.

One degree out. Windchill of -11. As I predicted, we have a regular school day and now I am going to have 125 pissed off 12/13 year olds who got their hopes up because someone decided to announce it might be elearning at 2:30 yesterday.

Also the school district needs to stop gassing up the kids with hopes for an elearning day when the low is forecast to be above zero. Like, my dudes. It was colder yesterday and you made us go in. Set a standard. Stop announcing shit on the PA and fucking with their heads.

One of my boys took my globe to his desk & was staring at it. The globe is so old it still has the USSR on it. I asked him what he was doing and he said "Mmm. I just like maps." I told him I do too and he was surprised to hear other people stare at maps. I feel like there are probably a lot of us.

So are there other jobs where people try to figure out who brought the stink bombs and fart spray? Or is this a special gift for school employees?

Why don’t you get more done in your planning period? Let me stare at my phone and recover before the next wave hits.

Look, it’s the Sears Tower. Someone bought it or the naming rights but no one remembers what that was despite being on Google Maps. It’s Denali. It’s the Gulf of Mexico. Apple and Google are showing their whole ass and can go pound sand.

Y’all. Someone brought fart spray to middle school today. No, it wasn’t me.
