Me in my natural habitat

The room is done (of course it will get dirty and every damn week I'll have to redo it). None the less, it's done and me, I'm happy.

What a week.

I'm moving out. I have to paint my room before I move in. Not have to, want to, I think it'll be nice to move into something that it mine, and that I choose and created. Luckily I have the owner, the real owner, of the houses' blessing (apostrophe use?). What else? Well, I'm nearly done with the program for the musical (I created the poster also... it's on the right in my flickr photo stream). I gave an email inservice today and it was somewhat daunting as the director of instruction for the district was sitting right there taking my session in. It went well though and I think everyone was happy with it. I had my last day of my old job today; I hope that the sub, a girl I went to school with and was in band with, faired okay. Other then moving out, brand new job, painting room, finishing old job, inservice, and poster, I also am typing on my brand new 12" PowerBook, and it is sweet!!! It's a little bit of deja view as it seems like I have never been without. I know though that my old PB is in good, and caring hands.

I hope that all is well. Miss you all.

Ordered a new computer... and more!!!

I ordered a new computer as well as a mini-DVI to video and an ADC-DVI converter. I did this last night at 11:15. It said that the latter (the converter) would ship in three to four weeks, and the other two items in 1 to 2 days. Typical of Apple's shitty shipping hypothesis, the mini-DVI and ADC-DVI converter shipped today. The Powerbook should ship tomorrow. And the excitement mounts.

I'm at work and must get back to planning. Just needed a quick break.

American Dad.

It's good. It's really good. Really damn good.

It's called American Dad it's it's great. I was listening to it as I created course outlines. It's from the same mind that created Family Guy. Also.... good news, Family Guy is coming back for a forth season, very soon!

Mr. K

What a crazy week. Here's the exciting run down and how I've managed to work for three different unions in leff then 8 months.

Monday a job was posted locally for a Social Studies Teacher. I was sick on Tuesday when it was faxed out; but I got an email from my Aunt telling me about it. Wednesday I applied and interviewed. To find out "after 4:00" on Friday.

Thursday and Friday I worked. I was supposed to be studying for my Apple Exams which were going to be on Friday originally. You see, if I got the Job had a lot of things I needed to get in order. 6 months of files and thing that I did and had to teach others.

Friday was a long day waiting for the decision, plus my car was in the garage getting the command start fixed... again. 4:00 comes around, 4:02 still nothing.... Finally, at quitting time (4:30) I phoned the auto-glass shop that was working on my command start. I've seen the guy enough and we have a good relationship and he was trying to be funny "do you needed your car for the next two days?" ha ha fucking ha.... is it ready! I hung up the phone and it rang a few seconds after I put it down. I thought it was the same a when an answering machine calls you back, but it wasn't. It was the principal of the high-school offering me a job at 4:31.

Yesterday I was at work till 9pm getting started on a video editing project for a recruiting campaign in Nigeria. This would be no big deal, even with a deadline of next Friday, has I not had to start a new job, on Monday.

So, I had my last day and didn't even know that it was my last day until a minute after my last day was done.

Starting Monday I'll be teaching
Comparitive Civilization 12 (20 Students)
Social Studies 11
InfoTec (Information Technology) 11/12 (17 Students)
and Possible a CAPP class, but only for one term (Career and Personal Planning, similar to CALM in Alberta)


Tomorrow I'll be covering the Northern B.C. Winter Games in Dawson Creek for Moose FM with RL, and taking picture. Should be a blast.

Sunday. Lesson Plan.

The posts will slow down for a while, but don't worry I won't forget.

sleepy, headache, fatigue.

sick.

Woke with heavy head
sat all day with heavy head
pounding head tired.


I didn't go to work today. I always go to work. Last night I went to bed at 8 and got up this morning at 10. My eyes are sore, my head, my glands, every damn thing. I don't usually get sick and when I do it doesn't last too long so hopefully by tomorrow I'll be all good.

R and I have been taking a lot of pictures and some of them, as you know, have ended up on a local radio station's website. This weekend we're off to Dawson Creek to talk pictures of the Northern BC Winter Games. As well, we'll be doing remotes for the station back in FSJ over the phone. We get our itinerary after I'm done work tomorrow (I'll pick you up after work R?). So that should be fun. Random Spontaneity is also working on slides of art for Central School which will be turned into postcards or blank cards. We're also figuring out the logistics of schooling a dance festival. How can we make money off of it and buy new PowerBooks? These are the questions worth asking.

I'm working on on the Playbill for an elementary school musical and wondering (this is a different thought and therefore should have it's own sentence but I'm trying desperately to cut down on the periods) if I should throw my name in the hat for a couple of postings for teaching in the district (here's one of them... the full time one).

I'm loving pod casting. I'm not doing it but I'm interested for sure. I mean, I'm listening, I'm just not creating, not yet. (I'm watching Seinfeld... pure gold!). My favorite so far is www.curry.com It's from Adam Curry, the creator of podcasting and a former MTV VJ (from 87 to 94). In short, you download MP3 files from blogs and then listen to them on your music players, computer, or ideally, an iPod. It's great radio in a new fresh format. A-M-Azing.

I'm also studying for my apple exams which hopefully i'll drive to Grande Prairie on Friday to take. It's so hard to study when you're sick.

If I wanted to add a picture to the right side and have the text wrap around it, what would the tag be? Anyhow?

Canadians finish the quote. "That's all for now, so until next time..."
