Hopefully he will apologize. Kids can be so cruel, even if they don't really intend it...

*Cascadia* · 04-16-2007, 03:28 AM

I know...I have dealt with him for the past 8 months. I just hope that he apologies....I have not spoken to him in the past 36 hours because I am still slightly steam/frustrated for what he did.

*Anarky* · 04-16-2007, 03:44 AM

Heh, the comment about him preferring to be at home playing video games reminded me of one of those funny E-Mails I get every now and then. It was basically a list of what children of the 90s were up to. The first line was "You went to play outside." First, I laughed at it, but then I went to play football on one of the most beautiful days. There were maybe ten kids playing outside all over the neighborhood and seeing as I live in an area that get called "ideal place for young families with children" and looking at the stream of kids that comes back from school at lunchtimes, I'd say that those ten kids were maybe a good 10% of all the kids we have around here.

And those ten kids weren't really doing anything that could be considered playing. They just sat there, with a football, and talked about things and stared off into the distance. I got a very Dawn-of-the-dead-ish feeling from that view.

However, I went to play football and I had great fun.

wowzors, you have patience that i will never learn to have. then again i'm unusually impatient. i've had to teach afterschool art/math classes with up to 15 kids 9-11 years old and it drove me insane every week. they wouldn't listen and were generally out of control...they're more fascinated by me than whatever i was teaching. my earrings even got some lil kids asking if i was gay, and then end up lecturing me at break about how their moms and dads said that boys shouldn't wear earrings.

gah, im no good with kids.

I am studying to become a secondary (middle and high school) teacher. Patience is definitely a requirement for this field of profession.

As if the VT shooting didn't shake me enough, I got a bomb threat at my job today. Around 11:00 am or so. HazMat, police, firefighters-- all rushed into the second floor mail room. It was a hoax, so no one was evacuated. But my stress level basically hit the roof. I couldn't concentrate at all. Too much has happened today.

*Katie* · 04-16-2007, 06:36 PM

*hugs Ruko*

I have a cousin at VT....It has been a stressful day.

your story reminded me that the day after 9/11 there was a bomb threat called into my work. Imagine the fun I had when several police officers thought it would be fun / appropriate to interview me for hours because of my ambiguous ethnic background. I'm half Choctaw and that summer I was particularly dark from being outside alot...Everyone was after brown skinned folks and I sure don't look white in a group of white people.

People already on edge took things to the next level. Great fun for all.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 04-16-2007, 06:50 PM

*hugs Katie back*
I'm sorry about how the police treated you. That wasn't fair.

I swear, there are some days when I absolutely hate being... a human being. I know it sounds wierd, but the human race can be quite cruel, especially towards one another. I dunno. It's just a bad day. And I've had a tension headache all day.

Swany · 04-17-2007, 10:51 AM

I hate situations like this.

Hope everyone is OK.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 04-18-2007, 07:12 PM

me too...it's just so horrible...Those poor families...
Katie I hope your cousin is alright...

I really don't like opening up on message boards (mostly because people always throw it back in my face just to be dicks later) but I really think my shell is cracking. I've been going through a lot lately and I'm finally to the point where I'm not able to handle it well anymore.

So if I snap at any of y'all, at least you know why, and I apologize in advance.

*Kunoichi_Haruko* · 04-19-2007, 08:59 AM

*hugs Michi*

*Cascadia* · 04-19-2007, 10:17 AM

It is quite alright Michi.

I got'cho back whenever, Michi. Just throw a message whenever you need me.

Swany · 04-19-2007, 06:26 PM

No need to apologise. You're obviously stressed and its better than bottling it up.

*Katie* · 04-19-2007, 07:06 PM

I have to agree that getting it out....even on a place like this....is better than keeping things to yourself. That just causes trouble later on.....I should know. and don't underestimate the supportiveness here. I mean, my God....I vented all my feelings and fears and the ugly anger I felt after I was shot in November. This was the only place I found support through all that. (

@ Stryker )

I've beeen through enough different kinds of crap in my life that if you wanna talk, I can probably relate...I am a good ear and have an excellent shoulder.

And thanks about my cousin...he is alright and defiant as always

**Jo Dawn** · 04-19-2007, 07:14 PM

*hugs Michi* You know where to find me, my dear. I'm always hear, even to just listen.

Sorry to hear about your situation. As you know, you're always welcome to PM or email me if there's anything I can do to help.
