my own personal hell

so to try and drum up some school spirit, someone in the school decided to have a "black out" night in the stands for tonight's football game against lima. they ordered black t-shirts students could buy and wear to the game. so far so good. then they started to sell them and one of the administrators took a close look at it and immediately told them to stop selling them. the front was supposed to say "WHOSE HOUSE" with the back declaring "OUR HOUSE." unfortunately, this is not what the printers printed. no, instead they say, "WHO'S HOUSE" on the front. yes, we be a school of excellents. so they stopped and i thought all was well.

i was wrong.

today, as i walk the hall's, i see these shirts everywhere. some of them are the original ones, which just makes my head want to explode. but the "corrected" ones aren't much better. the printer fixed them by adding "in the" between the "WHO'S" and the "HOUSE." never mind that this makes the back a total non sequitur. the worst part is students are like, "so what's the big deal?" *sigh* i have failed them as a teacher.

my suggestion was we should put a picture of hugh laurie on the back with the slogan "HUGH'S HOUSE." but i'm not sure anyone would get it.

at least it's friday.

i'm sticking around a bit after school - some of the poor band kids can't get home and back in time for the game, so they'll be coming up to my room to watch the blues brothers until they have to go. i'll get (supposedly) some pizza out of the deal. and it's been a while since i've seen BB. plus i'm still a band geek at heart, so it will be nice to hang out with some of my tribe.

my continuing eharmony saga: updated my "about me" page again - far more humorous now and more me than the "romantic me." pretty happy with it. brent called me yesterday, said eharmony was free this weekend, but i found no mention of it anywhere. hopefully it's true, so i can respond to a couple of matches who have requested communication (they won't let me do anything until i pay, stupid money-grubbing freaks).

ok, i probably should do something school related, though today's pretty simple - vocab quiz and a trip to the media center to work on their essays. and other than grading the spelling portion of the quiz, no grading this weekend. woohoo! and i get to go to KI and get some cleaning supplies. score!

now if i can just make it through the day without strangling some poor child with their "WHO'S HOUSE" tshirt....
