There is a God!

And he finally answered my prayers. I was beginning to think he only listened to Republicans. As of the end of this week, I will no longer have to teach Satanīs children on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I quit the other night. I received an offer from a different language school for more hours at the same time. With that golden parachute, I was able to talk to my boss and convince her to let me ditch the class with the pain in the ass children.

Last week I reached my wits end in my kidsī class. They were being so annoying I almost lost it. After I recovered from my rage blackout, I just sat in silence for like 4 minutes. After the first two, they realized what as different (the didnīt have to talk as loud to talk over my voice). I thought about dismmissing the class about 45 minutes early, but refused to allow them "to win." After they looked at me and realized I was sitting still, not talking, I think they realized I was pissed. They started apologizing but it wasnīt sincere.

At my last class on Thursday, there are two courses of action: maturity or immaturity. Iīll give you one guess which I choose...

Kevin - I'm sure the kids in your class feel the same way about you, being the dumpster you are. And in response to 'Jerilyn', yeah that is him with the sunglasses on in that picture, yes he thinks the glasses / headband are cool, and no they really aren't.
