Apparently there is a bit of spring fever at Headliners school. Today we were sent this directive worthy of Dolores Umbridge.

4) Teachers must walk around the classroom to notice where/who is generating the graffiti. Graffiti has been drawn onto the front and rear of desks. If graffiti is found by the newly entering students, all the previous students who sat at the desk will split the bill for cleaning.


"If graffiti recurs and teachers have not billed students, it will be the teachers responsibility to clean the graffiti.

"Thanks for helping to solve this problem."

If you were an evil minded desk graffiti'er how would you react to this policy?

I feel bad for the teachers who now have to patrol their classroom looking for graffiti instead of actually teaching.

I'm sure my brother would have randomly dooddled everywhere after hearing that announcement.Especially places where there were no tachers, just to prove his point!

Biked to work today after a long time off. I think I've biked twice in the last 2+ weeks, mostly because I wasn't going in to work (spent a short stint working from home, then went out of town). Took a few voluntary days off to recover from the craziness, but today definitely felt like a tipping point. There were a lot of factors that would have made it easy to leave the bike at home, and but I really felt as if inertia would then set in, so I forced myself to get on the bike today. I was immediately glad I did, good to be back.

Ride (right) on GD!

I woke up with a headache after a poor nights sleep. The second in a row.

Distance wise I could in theory bike to work but I'd show up smelling like, well like I'd biked to work. Do you have a way to deal with that issue?

There's a gym with shower here.

I've been biking pretty regularly for the last three years, but my cheap-ass Target-purchased Schwinn has given out on me, and I can't afford to repair or replace. Bicycling has been the only kind of exercise from which I derive actual pleasure. Now that I've been walking, I hate it all the more for not being biking. *sigh*

Define "given out"

[flippyshark]

The wheel frames are badly bent, so the whole thing is wobbly. The gear assembly has fallen off (for the second time). Technically both are fixable, but I haven't the means presently. (Nor the know-how to do it myself - something I ought to learn to do.) My first year with this bike was fine, since then, it's been a battle with built-in crappiness. If I have a good summer work-wise, I will surely be upgrading.
