  It's been silent in my part of the world. I have no more rants about work because I am not going back there next year. When they renew contracts, I will not be filling out one. When they announce the new positions, mine will be a vacant one.
I have determined that I will not be a masochist and thrust myself against the thorns of their inept educational system. I will also not be the subject of their latest controversy. I am to be free, unapologetic, and proud. Their cultish ways will have no effect on this bird. I've also been silent because while I have been striving to eat healthy, I've only lost five pounds and I've been extremely frustrated.
So, I shopped. I shop when I'm frustrated. I bought bags of suger-free candy. Some tastes the same and they all taste a hell of alot better than that SlimFast junk I was scarfing down. So, I sit in the mornings with my unsweet green tea, popping pills that mess with my mental clarity and tolerance for depression and eating sugar-free gummy bears and chocolate. Sugar-free? you ask. Yes. And it tastes better than cardboard. Blog Boy has been noticably absent, also.
The last I heard, he had hitch-hiked across the great state of Kentucky, highjacked a commuter train and crossed the border into Canada. There, he plans on opening a small Mennonite village, full of widows (22-38yrs old) who will quilt and make jams and breads and other marketable goods so that he can concentrate on inventing a studio that will run on wind generated energy.
