What a weird couple of weeks. Snow, sickness and workshops have meant that teaching has been a bit empty. I don’t know what was in the water this week but the students were all over the place. I wasn’t much better. With the Stanley Cup on I am next to useless. The fact that it’s cold and wintery doesn’t help any I guess. I left home today on my bike in the warm dry morning and got to work soaked and iced up. I had some choice things to say about the World and then went and taught juniors to weld themselves to metal. Very tired.

Am getting seriously sick of being told I’m young at school. I don’t suppose it’s occurred to anyone that I look young because everyone around me is pushing 80 and should have stopped teaching a million years ago. Fucking baby boomers. Ooooh, it’s all about you … ya selfish bastards. Get over yourselves.

Edmonton Oilers won game 5 so I get to watch more hockey on Sunday. I don’t ask for much really but in a nation of rugby morons it’s nice to watch hockey morons.

Whisky and hockey kill the pain.
