Burnout

I'm so ready for Summer vacation that I can't stand it. I want some improvements for school next year. I need a phone so I can call parents. Too many bad kids. I need a couple of months away.

continuing racial tensions

Robyn has two bi-racial kids. I like them and there is no problem there. My problem is with the way they seem to be treated. I'm personally sick of race related nonsense. I've been called racist by every subgroup in the book. To all thoses people : 1975 called, they want their tired-ass race card back. The sad part is we want to end racism, but all these racist groups still exist.

Robyn's oldest daughter is at risk for failing, yet on awards day, some nonsense group want to award her for minority achievement. Congradulations, little girl, you're the blackest kid in class! Expecting something due to the color of your skin is wrong, especially if you have earned nothing. That being said, I'd love to see both of her kids achieve great things and I'll do whatever I can to help, but I don't want them lulled into a false sense of accomplishment.

Do these sad little groups even aknowledge the fact that they ecourage segragation? Do they take the time to consider what these false awards do to people?

D&D

My new group just hit a high point last night. This has the potential to be the best gaming group in awhile. I'm actually looking forward to the next game. I've always liked RPG's and even when they weren't ran that well. But a good DM with enthusiastic players is a lot of fun. Last night was one of the most satisfying sessions I've had in a very long time.

Humor, drama, and action, all the things that make it great. All the players were feeding off one another. We actually split up three ways and it was still very engageing. It wrapped up with a climatic to be continued. Absolutely awesome.

The sad part is I may have to take a hiatus from gaming due to college. There is no question that D&D vs my education, there is no contest. I kinda hope there is a compromise. If not, I guess I'll take a 6 month hiatus and hope we're still playing.

Crammed

I realized yesterday that my posts were huge and had too many different things in them. For now, I'm altering my format to stick with on subject at a time. I'm trying to ever-improve my style and make my content a bit easier to read and I feel that cramming to much into a "dear diary" makes my stuff less interesting (if that's possible), so streamlining is the order of the day.

Solo flight to planet grease monkey

Sunday was my first day alone and oh what fun I had. Slow and boring, until 12:30 then five people came in at once. Two inspections and three Uhaul rentals. Both car failed initially and needed repair work. All the Uhaul people needed the dumbest questions asked and it took two hours to finish all of them up. The owner came in to help out, and all went smoothly. I think I did quite well, all things considered.

People drove up right about two minutes before close and wanted crazy stuff and to ask me about Uhauls endlessly. But I got a decent ammount of work finished, so it's all good. If there were any problems, I'm sure I'll hear all about it.

I can honestly see why people can find this kind of work stressful. So many people come in at once and there's nothing to be done to speed up the process of what's needed to get them on their merry little way. I knew at that on point I was giving rotten service, but I'm only one person. I just saw it as an inconvienience, not a short coming of my abilities

I like the money, and the side benefits of having the keys to a fully equipped garage.
