90 minute delay tomorrow at work

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 14h

That is what I was expecting. It hasn't been officially announced yet but a coworker has an "in" and just texted me that was the plan. We did get more snow than expected (6 inches) but the roads are plowed by now. That being said...

Are you in the lower, middle, or upper class income category?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 22h

I am going through the news this morning as I do every day. I just read an article talking about Trump's proposed tariff dividends for "lower and middle income" people/families. It got me to thinking about what exactly determines...

Good morning myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 23h

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 32 degrees F, dark, and SNOWING here at the Jersey Shore. Ugh. I despise snow. It looks like we've gotten at least 2 inches so far and they are predicting up to 6....

So do you put bandages on your bruises?

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 13 Dec

Trump has been seen with massive bruises and bandages on his right hand for many months. He tried to hide it with makeup and by literally covering it with his left hand. He seems to have given up on that attempt at subterfuge and...

You have GOT to be kidding me

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 12 Dec

I always have the TV on in the background when I'm here and not reading or sleeping. Most of the time it is the news but it also could be Friends, Outlander, or a movie. I don't sit even facing it but I am listening as I work on...

Today's bake sale was a success

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 12 Dec

I was nervous about it today. I had a hard time convincing students to volunteer to make stuff. I was afraid that a lot of them were going to blow it off and we'd have nothing to sell. No we had plenty of contributions. But the...

Good afternoon myLot

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 12 Dec

Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 37 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. Ugh. Work was an easy day as the students were working on their own. I got a coverage in one of the classrooms I use so I...

Hello everyone. I hope your day is off to a good start. It is 27 degrees F and dark here at the Jersey Shore. The high for today is just 37. I hate winter and technically it isn't even winter yet. I was up at 4:30am which was a...

Trump has pardoned Tina Peters of Colorado! Woohoo!

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 11 Dec

Except it means nothing. She was an election official in Colorado who was a 2020 election denier. She was convicted of several felonies. . . by the state of Colorado. The president can't pardon people for state convictions....

The coconut muffins are done

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 11 Dec

The kitchen smells like coconut. I used Bravetart's recipes for "Top Shelf Muffin Mix" and then to make the actual muffins. It is really a cool idea--you mix up a basic muffin mix (flour, sugar, salt, baking powder,...

Well this is a first at work

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (125579) • United States 11 Dec

. . . at least that I have experienced. I was on bathroom duty this afternoon as usual. A paraprofessional brought a student with Down syndrome and explained to him that he had to show me his ID to scan and then leave it on the...

Good afternoon myLot. I hope your day is going well. It is 37 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. It is breezy too. Ugh. Work was busy today. I gave a vocabulary quiz but didn't have time to grade them because I...
