Jackass Monday Part I

8:00am: login to facebook, lurk for a couple minutes

8:10am: read the news (CBC, Star Phoenix, Toronto Star). Jaycee Duggard is writing a memoir about being held captive for 18 years, being raped repeatedly, having 2 kids by her captor and living in tents and sheds for 2 decades. She's obviously a very strong individual. I can guarantee I would not have survived that.

On another note, high school kids in Saskatoon are no longer getting docked marks for handing assignments in late or not showing up to class. That's great! Because two key life skills aren't meeting deadlines and taking responsibility for yourself. Don't worry kids. When you get into the work force and come in late and miss your deadlines, you'll just keep getting second, third and fourth chances. Oh, no wait, you'll get fired and end up living in a van down by the river where mean people will give you money to fight other people who live in vans down by the river and they'll record it, post it on youtube and make money off your suffering while you eat sandwiches from the garbage. Awesome.

8:25am: Blog (waste some time)

8:30am: work...

I find this new school tactic harder to understand than the riders not taking that field goal 2 wks ago.

I don't get this either. Apparently, it was tried in Ontario 10 years ago and has since been stopped.
