13.

If you have any problems, use Google’s random number generator (between 11 and 12).

Good. The world is a good place, so long as we can all agree that Rent sucks.

I still think the musical's alright. I like some of the songs in it.

I will agree that there are many better musicals, but I don't think it's a bad musical.

It's not a bad musical. It's an awful musical.

You know, I'm honestly thinking about either transferring over to 1st shift or just getting a new job...

I'm really tired of having some really weird coworkers talking about some parts of my body...brings up some bad memories in middle school where everyone(and by everyone I mean at least 90% of a 1500 student school) commented on or made fun of some of my physical features. And now I'm feeling nothing but rage

If your current job is emotionally taxing and you have other options it might be worth a consideration.

Specifically since those options may disappear if the opportunity aren't being used. In the end it's a cost-benefit calculation.

Yes, but right now I'm faced with 2 problems. The first being that I've looked at most of the places near me and they don't pay anywhere near what I'm making, and the second is that if I transfer I'll have to reset my entire sleep schedule. So instead of waking up at noon and going to bed at 4 or 5AM, I'll have to immediately try and switch it to waking up at 6AM and going to bed at 10/11PM

1 would actually speak against changing the job. Because you might get off the emotional trouble but get financial one which in turn might be even more stressfull in the end and cause problems beyond emotional one as well.

As for 2, the only proof method (in my experience) is to stay an entire day awake to force an hard reset on the schledule. That means one day where you would to sleep at 5 AM you'd have to stay up as long as possible to get close to 10 PM sleep time. Which may require a lot of coffee and probably 1-3 days of adjustment.

You should change job... if there are other options. Unfortunately, you can’t just leave and expect to feel relieved, because you’d then have emotional and financial problems. You might want to talk it out to someone trusted that may solve the problem.

So you are making excuses to be miserable.

Bitch to hr about the folks giving you crap, most decent companies do not like to create a hostile work enviorment. If they get written up or fired, fuck em, not your issue.

If they do nothing, Transfer shifts one day of disorientation is much better than months of misery

The students gave me a bag of salted potato rings as a gift (which I then shared with the class).

The students were sad to see me go (since I'm only covering for one week).

They said they wanted to see Teacher IM next class again...

Glad to hear about the stages of recovery is ongoing. For me, it’s the weekend so I’m basically hosting a quiet party in my brain. :D

Ewwww.

Now I have walked into a room with 5 dead rats not quite like that but they were kind of lying dead together if not in a pile. Something close.
