  • Saving For Moving

    Saving For Moving

    By Andrea Menzies

    I am still saving my change in the piggy bank for a move far from Virginia. I managed to switch away from the horrible job assignment I worked at Bird High where a kid was bleeding all over his desk, and they refused to report it or move him. I managed not to get hit by ear blood, but it was a near miss. I had just freshly watched the blood-born pathogen video. One of the reasons they make teachers watch it every year is because blood is an issue in classrooms, and even smart co-workers have made mistakes with it. The whole thing makes me want to move very far from Virginia. I never had issues with co-workers refusing to obey regulations in Texas schools when I taught there for years. Every tiny thing is a living nightmare for me since I was dragged to the state I hate called Virginia. I should have never let my family talk me into the move it has been a horrible experience every day.

  • Udemy Classes

    By Andrea Menzies

    This week I am obsessed with Udemy classes. I am still going back to get my grad school degree. However classes are full and I have to wait a couple of months to start class. The Udemy platform lets you explore online school topics for not too much cash. Many other classrooms are online, but this is one of the few with discounts and quality. My job has not paid me anything this year yet, but when I get paid I am so taking classes.

  • Night School

    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.
  • Changing Logos

    Changing corporate logos have generated controversy this week. Pretty much all individually is against corporate politics.

  • No Breaks

    No Breaks

    By Andrea Menzies

    I was given one lunch break in a week of work this week teaching at Bird High. I had to file a supervisor complaint as a co-worker locked up my bag with no permission while giving me no breaks. In addition I was sick with an intestinal infection and asthma, and badly needed prescription medicines that needed to be taken with food to be able to work. It was in the locked away bag. I had none of it when needed. My co-worker was nurse Rachet from the Cuckoo’s Nest movie. I am transferring as of this week. This is why I am constantly applying to jobs far away from this area of Virginia, and am planning to move far away. The many sadistic people are very imaginative, and given total power without supervision.

    Early Day

    I am glad to be back at work. Even if it does mean I have to start the day early. This door seems funny when you are sleepy. Meanwhile a camel showed up across the street from my job. Super strange!

    Teacher heart.

    Work day camel.

  • Last Day Summer

    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

    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

    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.
