Mixtape Postcards

I'm on my last week of vacation before going back to work. I have two trainings this week, my brother MIGHT be coming over to visit today, and the flowers for my work wife's wedding were delivered to my house this morning. Things are coming up Milhouse. The only thing that stinks is the weather because I freaking HATE summer and I'm tired of sweating. Over it, ready to move on, donezo. MEDIA CONSUMPTION: So I realized in my last post where I talked about media I consumed , that I completely left out Netflix! Sigh, I've binged SO MUCH stuff. The one show I haven't been able to mass consume is The Handmaid's Tale, because it makes me so upset that I can't stomach more than an episode at a time. Because let's face it, Gilead is pretty much Mike Pence's wet dream. But I digress. Here's what I've binged in 2018 so far. The Crown S1/S2 Portlandia S2/S3/S4/S5/S6/S7/S8 Iron Fist S1 Defenders S1 The Punisher S1 Jessica Jones S2 It's the...

So I guess I'll update by sections, otherwise that post is gonna be hella crazy long and ain't nobody got time for that. WORK UPDATES So I finished year 4 at my district, and year 3 at my current school. This coming year is going to be insane and I don't know how prepared I am because I am a creature of habit and change both angers and scares me. Our principal is leaving. That's a huge change. She's still in district, she is now going to be head of transportation (her dream job, who knew) and while I'm so thrilled for her because she is going to KILL at this job, it's going to suck not seeing her everyday. She was always so supportive and believed in me on those days when I was certain I was going to fail. I'm going to miss that. We did meet our new Principal before school was out and like Mary Poppins, she was pretty much everything we asked for, but still. This year is going to be tough, because if shit doesn't go well there is going to be a ma...
