Time (and Ants) to Kill

I am on lunch break right now at The Hancock Elementary School and have access to a computer so here I am.

Yesterday I subbed The Huntington again and I really like what that school is doing. I had a ton of free time and did some writing, but I didn't have time to type it up. It was fun to do, however, came outta nowhere and now I keep thinking maybe I'll really work on it- revise it and such.

The reason In have access to a computer unhindered is because this teacher's lounge is crawling with the biggest, ugliest looking ants you can imagine, which sent all the teachers running for the safety of some classroom in which to eat their lunces. So here I am, breathing the noxious anti-ant fumes and enjoying the solitude.

I hate making smalltalk and have already done enough of it today. I'd rather put up with the chemicals (and possible carcinogens) than fake one more smile. At least for the moment. In about a half hour I take over a 4th grade classroom for the end of the day. It was one of those floater days where they use you as they need you due to teacher meetings.

I don't want to smoosh any of these ants. I am a vegetarian afterall. I always bring spiders and moths outside instead of killing them. But what if I get an ant infestation? What will I do? And you better believe this bitch will eviscerate a cock-roach, no questions asked. But maybe I'd better work on that. We bough humane traps when we had a mouse invader in the downstairs apartment. Are there humane ant traps?

And I don't hesitate at slapping mosquitoes... then I take a passive agressive approach to flies- I let the cats have their sport at hunting them.




Meh. This is an ass-boring blog. I applied for a teaching job in needham, and am about ready to send off my stuff to Canton and Pembroke, butI'm hung up waiting for my letters of Rec. Ugh. I hate asking for those. I obviously should have done it sooner, but you know me- everything last minute!

What do I want? I think I want a fabulous job teaching drama in B-Rock (which is impossible), WeeBee(which isn't likely), or Sharon (wouldn't that be just too adorable?). More likely I'll be begging for english teaching jobs, and even though Danielle has every confidence in me, I'm still dubious.

Oh wells. I'm going to go because I'm just rambling now!!
