TSCLT 12.0: The pantheon hates a pussy 2.0

Run silent, run deep.

Happy Thursday!!! Slept okay. Had the whole cat collection. Didn't think I was going to fall back asleep but I was out like a light when the alarm went off, so there's that.


I don't want to think about the paperwork if the building burnt down, but there is one resident that it will be very nice to displace so I can get this thing finished in quiet.

The falling leaves,
drift by my window,
the falling leaves of dirty yellow and dark babyshit brown...

The oak forest is not a picturesque place when it's not in green. My fall colors suck!

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My idea of autumn colors and what really happens never quite mesh. In other news, I had the little contractor woman come out today to look at the framing and demo. I'd like to shitcan the pendejo we have now.


Finally got some wifi here, and it's about fucking time!!!

I had my meeting
We got mail yesterday, it was waiting in the mailbox when I got home last night and perfectly timed for today.
Her grade placement tests that we had done in June through the school. I wanted her to jump one grade, the school didn't want her moved, and the placement tests say she should jump two grades, three for math and science. There's something to be said for curious book nerds not afraid to work, also I think those assessment tests are too easy, I disagree with them, she's not ready to move ahead two years.
The meeting itself was interesting. I sat and listened at first while the teacher opened her mouth, ten minutes later the principal was telling her to shut up, people like her make me wonder who they screwed to get the job. It took a bit but the little human is now a grade higher where she should have to work a little. I don't agree with the assessment saying two years but I'll have her retested in February and see where she's at for next year. If we had a decent private school around I would consider moving her but we don't. Now if I can just get her to keep this 'can do' attitude through her teen years and into the workforce she'll do great things.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Boo-fucking yah!!!


The way to keep her engaged is to keep her from getting bored, like the dumbass teacher wanted to do. I agree - one grade at a time. Ready, fire, aim. See what hits and look at it again, if necessary.


I just read that and it looks like the career educator, Dr. Tyler, wrote it.


I'll add bewbs so it looks more like Wat posted it.

Someone told me once that those who can't cope in the adult world work in schools so they never leave their comfort zones, sadly I can see the truth in that. Her new teacher should be a good fit, he's strict but keeps a stack of extra work sheets for those that want to practice and has a weekly 'What did you learn outside of class" discussion to keep them interested. He seems to get it.

 

[Inflation999]

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Sounds like he's been around bright kids.


Dr. Tyler says, don't let them get bored.


She's lucky that she has you for extra curricular stuff, like to show her how to use a left handed monkey wrench and a sky hook.


Wat is home. It was so fucking nice having wifi at work, for real, finally. I even remembered to turn off my hot spot thingie on the phone. Now to n000k some casserole because it's easy.

Beers with the guys from college this evening. We talk more now and drink a lot less than we did when we were in college.

Happy Friday. Slept decently, in spit e of the herd of cats. Looks like another pleasant day, and we should be shorter staffed. No wire butchers or HVAC guys, just plumbers and tile guys.


All of which comes after coffee, of course.


A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will.

Due to having faith one relies on the practices,
Due to having wisdom one truly knows.
Of these two wisdom is the chief,
Faith is the prerequisite.

My parents held me back from skipping a grade because it would "retard" my socialization. So they stuck me with a bunch of dummies that I disliked, resented and most certainly did not wish to socialize with because I didn't suffer stupid well back them. (Not sure I do even now.)

I never forgave them for that. I felt like I was being punished for accomplishment.

 

[Inflation999]

I understand exactly what you mean Ace, schools teach conformity to the 60% of children in the middle, the lowest and highest twenty percent suffer. As for socialization, at no point in your life will you ever be with only age mates, socially I see it as a reversal of true socialization. Skipping two grades could have put her at risk of bullying though, size matters and I can't sit in her classroom holding a baseball bat all day.

Schools and academia appear too often to be little molds and they try to fit little people into them. This may get to be lessened by the time one hits university, but freshman year looked to be much more of the same to me, and I was all kinds of done having fun. Truth is, I was toast in the 9th grade, but I rode it out anyway. I remember sitting onthe bench in the smoking area like maybe Day #2 of senior year and asking the Cosmos how the motherfuck it expected me to
stay sane for the duration.


I just got off the phone with my Least Favorite Weasel. I think it's time to call his replacement and get a quote.

FWIW:


No matter how annoying many of these cunts are, I have none on iggy. That's right, not a one of them. I can see them all - reading them is 100% optional. I do skim past or skip outright a good many posts here. Why? I am 100% in control of my own blood pressure and my own apoplexy. If one of these cunts is engaged in a level of cuntishness or st00piddity beyond all reason or rational comprehension, keeping moving on past is the only rational answer.


Most of these twits have no interest in an exchange of ideas. They want validation for their own bullshit cards because they have an overarching and all-consuming need to be "right". Because they aren't the smartest or most popular, they have to be all those things. You can imagine that, because they couldn't act, they had to be in the school plays, because they couldn't play, they had to be in the school orchestra, and because their skills were lacking, they had to be captain of the baseball teams - if they even tried that hard in Real Life. My guess: they failed at that, too. Most were likely quitters. The Intrawebz provides a lost-cost forum for their "expression," and they have honed these "skillz" for 15 years now.


It's a "literature" site, so expect a lot of fantasy, imagination, and fiction. Blessed is s/he who, having no expectations, is impossible to disappoint. Like the tits, expect most of the posters to be fake.

Okay. Home. Long week. Off to read very soon.

I think size matters more for boys, unless of course, the little girl is some sort of hideous horse or cud-chewing cow, like butters...

Happy Saturday!!! Looks to be a decent day here, the decentest bit being a day off. Still need to address this furnace and its switching issue so's it can get back to operating the way it was intended to. Of course, maybe it's getting toward time to consider a newer and more efficient model. Meh, we'll see.


Taking Dr. Tyler to breakfast this morning. It'll be nice to get back to that routine - kinda. The old girl is a very special kind of annoying when she slips into that role.


After coffee, thanks be to Allah . . . .

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Breakfast with the good doctor was pleasant. We didn't get on one another's nerves. Much.


Got home in time to catch the neighbor lady making her last trip out of the place next door. We're going to miss her for a multitude of reasons, not the least of which is listening to her ride in late at night with her loud pipes a'blattin'. We said we'd keep in touch. Her bf finally bought a bike, so we discussed ridin'. I wonder if any of that will really happen.

In today's adventure of little human, we learned how to use the scanner.
Somehow she convinced her new teacher to give her the grades she can earn from all the work for the last six weeks instead of taking the class average but she has to have it done by Halloween. She borrowed everything from three students so she didn't miss anything along with all the handouts and notes the teacher loaned her. She spent all day copying and printing. Either my next ten days will be quiet or I'll pull my hair out, we shall see.
