Halloween is great for dancing parties for people of all ages. I am dusting off my dance trophies I won from dance school competitions when I was a teenager in anticipation of fun Halloween dancing.
Dancing helped me escape stress enough to graduate high school on the honors program, and to graduate University. I am happy a dancing part of the year has hit again.

The temporary work I got with Kelly Staffing was over faster than I thought, and now I am back to teaching again. I forgot one of the reasons I quit pursuing temp work employment is they often promise far more employment time and money than they can deliver to employees. It is almost my birthday, and having free time to plan a good party with balloons turns out to be the most valuable use of my time. I did make some extra money from the job, and now I can go to extra Halloween activities far from the horrible place that is called Virginia. It is my every dream and goal to move far away from the Virginia area.

This week I had a fight with teacher HR as it marks the 3rd month I had no pay at all. My daughter has a birthday this week I had to borrow gift money. I have been working for days since August, and they are not going to pay me until October 1st. They did not answer my first 8 emails or calls. They do not do this to permanent teachers, and it is just one of the nightmares they inflict on subs. I officially put in applications for hundreds of jobs after getting off the phone. Some jobs pay you weekly, and this one pays you if and when they feel like it maybe someday. How can you pay rent with that? When they did this stuff around the time of the pandemic they had an excuse, but they are still doing it yet they don’t have an excuse anymore.

It do be true a free bit of fish be at Long John Silver’s on September 19. How much do you need to dress like a pirate to get the free 2 PC Basket? If you dress as a skeleton can you say you are a dead Pirate?

The online cycling event is done thanks for the help from the other bikes. I made it to 7 miles and a top rank. To participate in a Garmin event log an activity. Then go to the event link on the phone app. There are three dots in the upper right of the corner press link activity to participate. I used to love the step counter Fitbit, but after Google bought it it went to the pits. Garmin in contrast has step counters with GPS, and my review is it is better for cycling. I have made the switch to Garmin now for the new badges and fun groups with online races.

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.
