Currently listening to some Depeche Mode; broke out my copy of “Violator”, currently on track six (“Enjoy the Silence,” perhaps my favorite of the disc), biding my time until my evening shower.
Day flew by today, filled with trivialities and minor events not worth chronicling. All-in-all, a good day. Looking forward to a long weekend, though I’m pissed off about the reasoning behind it — school closure day, y’see. Meaning, there’s no good reason for school to close that day except, get this, lack of money. Thus, rather than pay the wages of various classified staff and pay operating costs for the day, this coming Friday, like several other days spread out over the next eight months, is designated ‘off.’
Now, personally, I don’t mind: a day off is a day off; I still get paid. Professionally, however, is another matter entirely. I’ve an obligation to those in my charge to provide the best bloody education possible. This, naturally, is negatively impacted by the budgetary shortfall my profession currently faces; I can’t teach when the school is closed. Hell, eh.
Boy, am I ever feeling articulate this evening! But enough of that. Negativity doth not become me this evening. Fact is, I’m about to wander off-topic though, truth to tell, it can’t really be off-topic given that this is my blog. Right? Right. Oh, alright. Let’s compromise. I won’t wander off-topic. Rather, I shall change the topic. Peace? Keen.
Ok. So. That accomplished… erm. Hum. Ho. Bugger.
Ironic, that. All that fuss, and nothing more to say. Ooh, wait!
I’m in too high of spirits. Had a spectacular evening last night. Deliriously peaceful and romantic. My heart aches just thinking of it, and mine pulse quickens. Ye gods. I honestly think my heart could have burst for happiness yesterday.
