Happy National Bike Month! Some day in the next year I will upgrade back to an electric bike. For now I am using non-electrical. To celebrate I am watching Murder She Wrote streaming on the Roku channel because she is on a bicycle so much I am starting to think it was sponsored by bicycle manufacturing. It suggests that is how you survive to become an attractive older woman by being on a bicycle all the time. My review is the show is hilarious.

I am at a graduation pre-party for Alexandria Menzies in Fredericksburg, VA today. We went to Cracker Barrel and Quality Inn. Cracker Barrel is really giving away free onion fries if you download the app and start an account at dinner. We ate some, and it was great.

I got hacked this week, and can’t be reached well. Turns out there’s things called RAT viruses called Remote Access Trojan computer viruses. It is why you don’t want to click on strange e-mail links, and strange text messages links, but also they can do Remote Access over the phone in a call as well. Thanks to all the people who called, and mailed me many repair fix ideas. Unfortunately revoking access, reinstalled Windows, and returns to default settings all did not work, my computer is still crashed, and I am going to be offline on my computer a bit. The scammers are evil at making scams seem realistic, and faked being trusted workers at my school. I will never trust workers claiming to be my school again no matter how trustworthy they claim to be as some of them are disgruntled human sewage. I will change all my passwords this week in addition.
*Note it was not fake workers pretending to be University of Phoenix. It was their real workers, called from their real hotline on their real logged in website that gained remote access, and put 15 spyware viruses on my computer crashing it which virus protection had marked clean right before the call.

A University of Phoenix worker crashed my computer yesterday. Any recommendations on how to get control back? A female in the financial department demanded to have remote control over my computer. There was no task that remote control was needed for in her directions for signing online student loan papers so it seemed odd to me. I have taken University computer use classes in Louisiana where the teacher said never give remote control of your computer to a help desk caller it will crash your computer. Yet I wanted my loans signed fast so I stupidly agreed. Bam, the computer crashed right after the call. It never worked again. It was working perfectly before the call. I had a paper due that night and had to write it on Google documents on my phone. Often I use the library computers 2 miles from my house for home work what if she had crashed a government library computer? A word of advice to anyone online reading this people working at phone help support desks are often petty and vengeful; they will try to crash people’s computers remotely, and you should never agree to remote control. Not only do I use my computer for school, but also I use it to get jobs at work. Luckily I had several relatives agree to loan me an extra computer, and the library nearby can transfer text from my tablet and phone into Microsoft Word and PowerPoint documents. How do I get it working again the computer was new?

Today was a baby chicken day at Motoaca High. I am a teacher there many times a year, and some of the science projects had the life cycle of chickens on display. The cuteness was making my eyes burst.

My friend from school Eugene finally went home after having a good visit. It is really strange seeing friends you made in your school years later in life.

In the below cartoon “Matt” is every school office concerning the worst permanent teacher towards substitute teachers. I have the degrees to work full substitute work, but I worked one IA job years ago when an IA begged me to work it. Now the school district tries to give me ALL jobs as an IA for disabled students which I fully HATE. IA substitute work is far lower in pay in daily wages for harder work. The office gives IA subs no lesson plans folder, no map, no keys, and no door opening badge thinking the main teacher will “help them” all day. What if the sub uses the restroom, or goes to her car to get a bag lunch, and the teacher locks everything separating the sub from her purse? The blonde with shoulder length hair at Bird High was horrible, and locked me out of the class room 3 times. “You should have gone to the SPED desk!” She yells at me when I banged on every door to do my job. I did go to SPED no one was there! Gym locked, classroom locked, and I can’t get to my purse as I need asthma medication having attacks in PE class. Main teachers don’t “take care of everything” at all, and IA subs do need maps, keys, and badges for bathroom breaks. This is reason one million why I am trying to get a permanent placement job to stop being a substitute as many permanent teachers suck crap and don’t “take care” of anything at all.

I went to Washington DC to protest healthcare cuts, and join future political protesting. America is not “left wing” or “right wing” now it is “Clown Car On Fire Wing” metaphorically speaking. The media says Americans are not protesting, but they are just not covering much of it. I hate Trump’s government. It is crushing women’s healthcare back to medieval times and this is why I am joining the Feminist Alliance Women’s March. American people must use our rights to protest before they are taken away. I stayed in hotels and traveled hours as I also wanted to see more peak bloom cherry trees, and panda bears at the zoo in addition to protest. However I got COVID right before traveling, and I have had asthma since birth so it destroyed my right to political protesting in many ways. This will not be my last try at protest and travel. I have hated Richmond, VA with every ounce of my soul since the year I stepped foot here as the town only has raping, beating, ugly, and abusive men to date. I had many long term relationships in other towns, and the lack of companionship is agony. Now I have even more reasons to leave for political protesting needs. As the photos prove I will travel hours to escape the nightmare happening in the world around me.

Happy Birthday to Anne Brockett! She is having a landmark birthday party for her 80th today. This is why I had to drive around to the airport so much this week. It was for the many trips for our out-of-town family. We had many restaurant dinners for both Mexican fajitas, and also Chinese food. Tonight was one of the cake parties with candles. The clean-up will be wild.

I made all A grades in my first month as a University of Phoenix Master’s Degree student in the Masters of Education program. I have been planning on enrolling for years, but my student loans were blocked. Also it is intimidating going to school as an adult, and juggling my teaching day job with night school. This is why I went to online school as it is organized well for working adults. Thankfully, the conflict is resolved and school is going well this month. I enjoy having real challenges for the year.
P.S. : There will be no podcast this week due to massive homework exhaustion. The final exam all nighters have been epic.
