I Like the Word "Draconian", Dave

So I got back from 2 weeks in Mexico, all tanned and relaxed and dreading coming back to my stupid course. Within 2 days it had snowed about 10 cm, I had started my internship at CTV 4 days a week, and I got a call from the Vancouver School Board. They said, "You have been shortlisted to interview for a TOC (Teacher On Call... the new P.C. lingo) with the Vancouver School Board. Your interview will be conducted in English and French, written and oral, you will need to present a unit of work that you have taught and you may bring in a portfolio to back up your answers. Your interview is in 4 days."
I freaked, not having any of my teaching resources here, and not having spoken French since March. I ran around insanely between school and interning, trying to put together a unit plan, lessons, pictures, and anything else that proves that I am a teacher. I put together a beautiful portfolio, both paper and digital, and walked into the interview. From the waiting-room onward, the entire interview (save one question) was conducted in French by 2 local principals. EEK! I did ok, because yesterday they called and I got the job.
Yay. Money.
Now I will be working 6 days a week, from about 8:30am-midnight 3 days a week, and 7:30-10:00 twice a week, plus 9:30-7:00 on Sundays.
No social life for me. But I'm going to be rich and famous.

Return of the spam mail goodness

Little did you know, but I was deleting approximately 40 posts from various poker sites per day. They were coming to me to be moderated before actually being posted for your reading pleasure, but it's getting to be a pain to have to keep moderating them. To try and fix this problem I've put in a couple of patches and added the draconian rule that you must be a registered user to add comments to the blog. For the immediate family this shouldn't be a big deal, but anyone else who's reading will need to register. Sorry about this, but deleting all the spam is taking up too much time.

Also, I upgraded WordPress to 1.2.2. If you've got any complaints please let me know.
