Day 683 of my captivity: My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the floor. To day I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. The audacity! There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage. Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs. I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released --and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded! The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. The captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe....... for now... |

It's official, I'm going back to school. I heard about a Masters program that fits perfectly with my interests and the direction my career has taken, I went to the informational open house with another teacher that is interested, and am now enrolled in the Masters of Instructional Design and Educational Technology program at the University of Utah. Well, starting next fall at least. I'm pretty excited, it's set up for teachers that are currently working, I'll have classes two nights a week starting fall semester 2007 and ending spring semester 2009 and it's project based, so it's not all bookwork and rote memorization. That and as a math/science/technology teacher I'm a prime candidate for a state scholarship for teachers looking to increase their education. (Even if I don't get the scholarship, I'm looking at less than $10,000 and that includes books.) Wish me luck...... |

Save Those Quarters Hang on to any of the new Alabama Quarters. If you have them; they may be worth much more than 25 cents. The U.S. Mint announced today that it is recalling all of the Alabama quarters that are part of its program featuring quarters from each state. This action is being taken after numerous reports that the new quarters will not work in parking meters, toll booths, vending machines, pay phones, or any other coin operated device. |

Holy crap. I'm headed down to Free Wheeler to drop off the paychecks, I get off on the 6th south exit and somewhere around State Street I notice a shitload of cop lights flashing up around Trolley Square. As I turn north on 3rd east I'm thinking something big must be going on up there. I get to Free Wheeler, park the car and as I headed into the store I notice a bunch of people watching the TV at the laundromat next door, a bunch of lights flashing on the screen and "Breaking News" across the bottom. So, I figure it must be what I saw by Trolley Square and go in to see what's going on. If you haven't heard yet some guy with a long trenchcoat and a shotgun opened fire up by the "Old Spaghetti Factory"............. Sorry about the interruption - the police had a press conference. Police said that there were fatalities and several critically injured victims, and that the suspect did not survive. They wouldn't confirm if he was shot by police or shot himself - but no matter, at least we don't have to go through a lengthy and (for the survivors & next of kin) painful trial. |

(The following is a completely hypothetical situation and should in no way be construed to have actually happened or that it is in any way connected to either of my places of employment. What's the one thing you really shouldn't do if you want to spread a vile rumor about someone you work with, a rumor that you haven't got a shred of concrete evidience to prove? Well, if it were me, I wouldn't take it to the company lawyer in an effort to get this person fired. Nope, I don't think I'd do that. That'd be kinda stupid. Well, really, really stupid. |
