So Roommate is in the
So Roommate is in the hospital from the nasty scabrous yuck filled wound on the side of his head. They took one look at it and admitted him into the emergency room. Now he's quite cheerful on his morphine drip, and Milton Bradley has the new Operation game "Icky-Sticky Wound." I checked up on him today, and the only thing he really wants from his friends is a brand new 30 gig iPod. I'll get him a card.
The new principal visited my school today. He will be the sixth principal of my school in five years. The only reason he is coming is because he's not being promoted to the new superdistrict, and he has seniority. He apparently will retire in another year and a half. As far as I can tell, he went to the same charm school as Dick Cheney. I had a coverage today with this one class from hell, not one of my normal classes. He walks in, sees that most of the kids are talking, and criticizes me in front of them. Tactless, clueless, and pointless. He managed to piss off about ten other teachers during his walk through our hallways. I'd been wavering about staying in this school next year. Now I'm certain that I'm leaving. This district has a lot more openings for math teachers than it does for principals.
