YUP! - Still here...
Posted Aug 7, 2008
Still here, still a teacher. Whatever happened to The Guide? Hmmm...
Still like it, but G*d I HATE the (relatively) new HHGTTG movie. Don't you? All of you? All three?
*Sigh*
Still a teacher, still reaching the end of the (2008) vacation. Still at large.
Still hoppy frood!

Coming up for air
Posted Jul 28, 2003
Hi everybody.
Most people in the industrialized countries have something called a "summer vacation". The idea is to relax a bit, spend some quality time off-work and be with friends and/or family. And after such a supposedly invigorating time, everybody expect that you are rested, un-stressed and really ready to take on the challenges of whatever job you have.
Being a school-teacher, this is not how I experience it.
Sure, I have relaxed a bit, spent quality time with friends and loved ones and I have felt invigorated. But now, with one week to go before they let the children loose on me again, I am starting to påump up the olde blood preassure, tripple my caffeine-dosage and quadrouple my palm-sweat-production. 
Very awfully frightening soon, there will be snotty PUPILS everywhere I go again! 
Is that supposed to make me feel relaxed? I dunno, as I sit here by the PC, taking a ten-minute break to go to h2g2 and then returning to the planning; curriculums, book-reservations, classrooms, discipline, transportation of classes, mnore books, hand-outs, letters for home, notepads and what colour map for each class...
Yes, the vacation is bliss, but the end of it does tend to eat away on the relaxation-savings. *sigh*
Well, but I still love my job. Can you imagina that?

Hi.
My name is KimotoCat - so vie so - and I am just about to embark on a three-week no-Internet vacation.
If I should survive this, I shall return here to further annoy the **** out of you. Should I perish, I'll be sure to let Douglas Adams know that we love him!
Your's

Welcome to 2003
Posted Jan 1, 2003
Hi everybody.
Here it is - a brand new year. 365 days of all kinds of experience, ups and downs, happiness and sadness. This year could bring Lord of the Rings III - Return of the King, and it could bring great pareties, joy, fun and gaity.
It could also bring loss, sadness, forfeit and despair, but the good things shall surely be able to carry all of us through anyways.
Happy New Year everybody!
