Sorry for the lack of updates friends. I have been STRUNG OUT!!
But before I continue complaining,
she
has
hair.
Phew. Did not want to deal with that one. Mom said she couldn't do it in the end. Thank goodness. And guess what? Girfriend is still being lazy and handing me crap work. Go figure. If my mom threatened to shave me bald when I was little, I might, you know, get my shite together.
I am about to give you yet another excuse for my lack of posting. I feel as if I owe it to you....I don't want you to stop reading. But I'm also starting to feel like that mom who excuses the crap out of everything and is slowly creating a totally incapable person.
A little over a week ago, a very close friend of mine had something very tragic happen in her family. She reads this from time to time so I will spare details in the interest of her privacy. Needless to say, nothing seems that big a deal, worth complaining about or all that funny when you know your close friend is dealing with something truly awful. Hopefully she will be back to work soon, because I miss her. This job is so hard at times, and I feel so lucky to work with some of the people that I do. When the Weave strikes or Mr. Big White Guitar does too much close talking, I rely on the friendships I have developed with some of my close colleagues.
But I am sure that it won't be long before something absolutely unfathomable happens and I'll be back.
For real.
Thanks for sticking with me.

I am a lurking hs English teacher- and I can promise you that your concerns that parental excuses cause incapable people is very valid- and incredibly sad.
I wish parents could see the long term damage done when they stand in opposition of development and learning.
I imagine at the lower level you have comfort that they may grow out of it. When you are about to graduate a senior whose mom argues that she is incapable of reading at a third grade level (all testing indicates otherwise- and the kid admits she does not do the work) you know that person does not have the skills to make it in the world. And that is a true shame.
I hope your friend is OK soon... I know how you feel about posting; sometimes I think I shouldn't be whining about/poking fun of my family or my life when so many people have bigger problems. But sometimes it's fun or interesting to read about other people's lives - I like coming here and reading about yours - you're a good writer and have interesting stories - and I hope when you can you'll continue.
My best teacher/girl friend moved to another state in September and I MISSED her so much. Finding your website made it feel like I was talking to her again every day. I promise someone will soon do something outrageous and you will feel better soon. Hugs to your friend.
