About a month ago, someone uttered solemn reproaches on me for the better part of an afternoon for cussing on my blog. It’s UNPROFESSIONAL, and makes other teacher blogger dolls look bad, she says. ~i’m not picking on her, since she’s far from the first to tell me that~

Why no post today? Because WordPress is pissing me off. All my buttons are mysteriously gone, and it’s still the holiday. And I have better things to do than to fuck with WordPress. Fuck it. I’ll post tomorrow. I’m having fun now. You go do the same.
