I am officially on break. Am I working 8 hour shifts scoring tomorrow and Sunday? Yes, I am. But at least I managed to get all my grading (well, most of it) finished before I left school at 5 tonight. The kids left at 10:30 for their half-day. Baby is up on his perch staring creepily down on me and somehow that is all right. He's left the tree and presents alone so I'm pretty happy about that. Trying to be happy about the food and presents and time with family that Christmas brings, even if current events unfolding are a real shitshow.
Oh, and my principal is leaving as of today. So once again, we will be the good ship without a captain. I've had ten principals in my twenty years in the building. They come and they go as do the APs. And everyone acts like the building depends on the admin to run. No one ever suggests that the building runs just fine with all admin gone, just like no one ever seems to mention that the building won't run at all without teachers, secretaries, and custodians. Education, especially public education is fucked. I wish someone would offer me something else to do that I want to do and that would allow me to continue to pay my bills.
Oh, and the House has officially adjourned, guaranteeing the government shutdown.
