Phishing Scams.

It really pisses me off that people have to ruin other people's things!! What is the point of doing this?

I got a text message from an unknown number and I actually fell for it and answered back this time. Only because 1) I had just completely reset and wiped out my phone and couldn't remember if this number was familiar or not and 2) my cousin had sent me a message a couple days earlier asking my to shared something on Facebook also. Although this didn't have to do with Facebook, just with a sharing "app".

I didn't go to this website or app or whatever it was but I did ask if I knew this "person" texting me. So now, (my phone is mainly used for work, has my work email and all) I am scared someone is trying to get into my emails and steal my information. I'm a paranoid person and this is going to keep me up for weeks, not joking. Luckily I have my personal stuff on my iPad and only order shit off of it and not my phone.

But I did delete my Facebook app and my Pinterest and wanelo app just in case.

I hate people. They're infuriating.

Guilty.

I am guilty of neglecting my blog! I have been soo busy with work and Spring Break was pretty uneventful. ... Kind of I have three things I will touch base on:

1. Oz The Great And Mother Freaking Powerful

2. Why my friends are better than yours...

3. And the first and second hikes of the Butte of the year.

 

I promise come about May my blog will get pretty damn interesting. More things I can talk about will be happening.

Oh and Happy Spring!! It's officially spring.

Winning the hearts of all.

So I am sitting here back combing my hair with such fury and volume that even Snooki would be impressed, and an event that happened like two months ago pops into my little head. It wasn't a bad event or even a good one, it was just a random little remembrance...

So let me set it up for you. I am in the library at work helping K (our school librarian) shelf books. And at this time I had just gotten my Celiac diagnosis so I was kind of lost on what to let my body consume. There are a few other teachers that are gluten free as well and I started talking to one and she has been so wonderful helping me out. So anyways I am stacking books and K is at her desk and S comes in the library and says, "Hey K, can I borrow AJ or moment?"

Now pause. This is what I did: K says, "yeah! Go ahead." And I follow S out like a little puppy not saying a word.

What I really should have done was say,"AJ has no master, AJ is a free elf!" And automatically I would have won the hearts of all staff members and then I would have been invited to the Cool Teachers table more often and we would have inside jokes. And even Grumpy Gills ice heart would have melted and she would be like, "Oh AJ, I am so sorry that I was ever rude to you and gave you attitude because you let me know you only had one copy left to do and then I could have the copy machine. Your Harry Potter reference was so awesome. Why hadn't I seen what a cool person you were? And that your extreme niceness isn't an act (even though it is) and that you are just an all around stand up person?" And the staff member would throw me a party and it would be awesome.

But no, I didn't say that witty little comment. So none of that happened. Grumpy Gills still two- facedly hates me. I sit at my table alone most of the times pinning shit on Pinterest at lunch. And the only inside jokes I have are the ones inside my head with my other personalities. But that's okay. They know how awesome and quirky I am. Just an all around stand up gal. :)

Babbbby.

So my friend Annette had her baby about 10 days ago now and on Saturday I got to meet and hold her and her husband's little man. He is so cute and tiny. I mean how could you just not fall in love with this squishy little face??

I hate my spring break already.

My parents volunteered me to watch their teenage demon spawn for ten days while they go gallivanting off to Hawaii and I am already over it.

I have allowed my sister to have a friend over for 4 days, took them to the Club to go swimming, allowed them to have 'make your own dinner' nights, said I would take them to the movies to watch Oz tomorrow at 9 pm AFTER I work a full day because I still have PD tomorrow, the kitchen has not been done and I am getting lip. I have done two loads of dishes already, somehow we have run out of laundry detergent yet no one has any clothes and the washer has been going. I am wearing a pair of my fathers boxers as I type this because I have not had the time to do laundry. My brother has been inhabiting his gollum cave playing video games. I just don't understand how these people aren't self sufficient and can't understand that they need to help out! I've been super independent for as long as I can remember. It just doesn't make sense. And then to give me attitude when I ask for the simplest things like open the curtains. Or put your dishes in the sink please or throw your trash away. I thought that allowing my sister to have a friend over would be motivation to help but no. And there is no offense to the friend because she is a really nice girl and enjoy having her over however I have no problem having her find somewhere else to stay for the weekend. I really don't want to do that and I hope I won't have to. I guess we will not be seeing Oz tomorrow and that's okay with me. We will start will small natural consequences.

I should have just bought a ticket to Seattle or somewhere for a few days and had the Parental Unit figure out someone else to watch these lazy bumper holes.

I LOVE MY JOB. I LOVE my job! I love my job. I love my job?

Whewf! What rough couple of weeks! Sometimes I seat my own flustered self in the recovery chair and think 'Am I really supposed to be doing THIS for the rest of my life?? Why am I doing this? This is not fun!'

But then more often than not something awesome happens! I get eye contact AND a smile all at once. A student grabs my hand when I'm standing next to them just because they know I am there. I get through an entire reading lesson with a student. Or I get cute comments like my favorite so far, 'Ms. Jourdan you're pretty like a little lady!' And then I think 'You're so dumb! THIS is why! These kids are why! You're supposed to be doing this! Sometimes it's not fun and sometimes it gets hard and you want to just curl up and never come out. But you can't because these little moments are the big ones. Because you're learning just as much as them. You're learning patience and love and understanding.'

Yeah, somedays are rough and events happen that aren't pleasant but these children are worth every moment spent with them. And I really hope that one day they'll remember me because each one has a special little place inside my heart and I will always remember them!

Reasons why I like dogs more than human beings...

1. They don't talk.

2. They love you no matter what.

3. I'm pretty sure they don't have mental breaks.

4. Their personality is the one they'll always have.

5. Dogs aren't fake.

6. They love you always.

(Notice 2 & 6 are the same? Yeah, trying to emphasize that point)
