First day of work was f-u-n!!! Class was pretty chill, didnt have to deal with that much just normal restlessness that comes with the job when you\'re a sub. Thursday should be a challenge though: 2nd Grade!!! All I remember about my 2nd grade teacher is that she was an OLD, OLD black woman who wore a nasty ass wig (the tag would stick out in the back), eat those monstrous bags of popcorn they used to sell at Edwards and spray a **** load of shoddy perfume on all of the girls in the class, forcing the boys to cough in the hallway (so you see its not ALL my fault that I\'m so **** up).

Freespirit. I dont think I could handle the Waste. In fact I\'m sure my honkey ass would get handed to me the second I entered the classroom.

Man I miss subbing--I had the worst day today--subbing is a cool way to ease into teaching--enjoy it because it sucks making lesson plans, designing labs, dealing with parents, and the worst part is all the B.S. politics---just let me F\'ing teach!---sorry I had to vent! Glad to see some cash coming in for ya$$$

Don\'t forget the misappropriation of your dues by the NEA.

I got a call tonight, they need me to sub tommorow as well. This is great. Maybe I\'ll be able to catch Breakfast shows that are more than a 12 mile radius from my house!!
Subbing rocks, $$$ is weaksauce...

I\'m thinking when I sub 2nd grade I might have to whip out a monster Buquebus.. It will put those lil\' bastids in line.

Hi All,

I\'m a senior software engineer, for a Canadian company called Open Text. I work out of their Irvine, CA office (although I generally work out of my house more than in the office). I primarilyly do c/c++ design and development on Win32 , IBM AS400, and various flavours of UNIX (HPUX, AIX, Solaris, Linux).
