Night School
By Andrea Menzies
I had to be on the phone on hold for what felt like one million years for night school today. At long last I was able to fully transfer and enroll in a new online night school for a master’s degree. I had to verify student loans over the phone. After a while it reminded me of a surreal video game like the jokes below.
Every phone number in the modern day is like an epic quest. 
But sometimes change is worth the hassle. -
County Fair
By Andrea Menzies
It is almost county fair time here in Chesterfield. One good thing about the area I am in is the fair with rides and music is only a 30 minute bike ride away from my house.

Last Day Summer
By Andrea Menzies
Time flies in summer for teachers. August 18 is the first day back from summer break in Chesterfield, VA schools. That makes Friday the last workday off from school before I have to wake up at 5 in the morning daily. I miss the money and the people, but I don’t miss the stress. I wrote several articles for the school newspaper in high school saying I wished all schools would have year-round school. As a grown up I also wish they would go year-round with a couple weeks of break. Students need massive schoolwork reviews after the summer break, students act bad before and after the break, teachers lack summer pay, teachers often need extra summer jobs, summer daycare is expensive for parents, and worst of all is the shock to the system of sleeping late before going back to early school. European schools only have a short break for summer then their students have better scores for University. Maybe someday a good system will become normal in the USA. Meanwhile I will soon miss sleeping.

Expensive Mark
By Andrea Menzies
I play video games online, chat, and go to concerts with some DC friends. One had this joke yesterday. Crime is actually down in DC this year. They say we don’t have enough money for government programs helping low income people. Yet we have money to deploy troops for crime? It is a LOL level joke. It is a very expensive thing to be marked safe from near me. Rich landlords all over the USA have made rent nightmare level expensive on apartments and houses. Then they make homelessness a crime to fill for-profit prisons. I find it extra scary that BBC news was the only news source that openly and fully was critical of the political move.
Joke of the day.

Video Chant
By Andrea Menzies
You know you have been teaching for a long time when the videos about classroom blood born pathogen warnings start to have dialogue you can recite and chant along with while watching. I can say the end of the video’s sentence before the video even says it. At least it helps me make all A grades on the quizzes at the end.

Vintage TV
By Andrea Menzies
Thank you Cougar Town for mentioning older men are hard to date, and it is not always the women’s fault when they end up older in age and single. This week I am watching Cougar Town the TV show streaming on Hulu and other vintage TV. It is LOL level funny how some people think only 21 year old people date, go out, or listen to live music. This has never been less true in the modern day. It is pretty funny, and I give it five out of five stars.

Dork Busters
By Andrea Menzies
Your weekly message from the no jerk’s club I will never meet a man alone at his house from Internet dating. I just re-joined online dating, and am shocked how many guys think women will meet them alone in places that are not crowded and well lit for a first meeting. In fact not one wanted to meet for dinner. Not only could the guy be not as hot as his photos, but he could have an axe to chase you around with Friday The 13th style as he is a psycho. I would like to stay single and alive instead. People wonder how women over 35 end up single older women, but look what we have to choose from with single men! The worst online dating and singles nights I have ever seen with the most pathetic men to talk to have all been in the Virginia area.

Texas Flood
By Andrea Menzies
The nightmare of flooding continues to plague the areas of Texas I used to live in near Austin, TX. My friend-feed is one huge mess of death and wrecking. As profit became huge from house sales in Austin many housing contractors built on purpose on flood areas to save cash. This is one of the reasons my family had to move to the Virginia area. Please donate to flood relief. This is why I am so obsessed with bicycles. They do NOT use as much fossil fuel. They do not contribute to global warming as much, and many changes like biking need to be made to help the climate it is no longer just a suggestion.
