Cara purges her facebook friends

About 2/3 of the list is gone. People who fit into the following categories have been unfriended: People Whom I Hate People Whom I Simply Don’t Like People Whom I Haven’t Spoken to in Over 4 Years People That I Don’t Remember Which School We Went to Together People Whom I Don’t Remember, Period. Amazing how many people that fit into those categories remained for so...

Cara checks her messages

I decided to make sure there were no messages on the phone actually in my office, as opposed to the line I check about every hour. I put in the password and hear: “Ext. 3448: Hair and Wig Department” Interesting…

Cara has been online too much today

F*** My Life - FML : Your everyday life stories. →

This website makes me feel way better about my own life. My own terrible, horrible, no good, very bad days? Maybe just no good. Today’s favorites (so far) include: “Today, my nephew asked me how babies are made. I thought he’d had this chat with his mom, but I went in to it again.

Cara finds a key

After being told by my predecessor I would need to borrow a key for the freight elevator from the stage doorman everytime I needed it, I did. The first time. And then I found the same key in my desk drawer. Apparently, without knowing it, for months she had been borrowing a key that she already had. Somehow, this makes me feel better about myself.

Cara is so not qualified to be a teacher

Before starting my Social Studies lesson plan project, I had to look up the Massachusetts Frameworks for Language Arts because I wasn’t positive if first graders could read and write. They can.
