I was a PE teacher today. It is by far the easiest job in the school, but also my least favorite. I'm not a fan of getting hit with balls/racquets/frisbees by kids with virtually no motor skills.

I'm bored, nothing on tv, boy is holed up in his room coughing on himself and not me. Dogs and cats are all sleeping.. to early for bed... so INGO it is

 

[GLOCKMAN23C]

My wife just got called in to work, kid in bed, quiet.....

 

[MrsGungho]

Doing better. Can't wear the boot while I'm driving, but the boot seems to help.

that's good to hear. Hopefully you're not driving much this week

Yeah, I am busy, busy, busy. Been kinda a sucky week so far.

 

[SEIndSAM]

But, I have a job, so I'm not complaining.

very true

I have so many people coming in every week asking if we are hiring. I know it is just so they can fulfill their unemployment requirements, but it's still sad.

Yep, regardless of what Washington believes, the economy IS NOT getting better.

nope, and it is going to keep getting worse

Gas was $2.98 this morning, I filled up. $3.29 tonight. Glad I filled up

Yep, I hate those horrible swings. Rumor has it that gas is still $3.09 in the Minneapolis area.

I noticed that too. I didn't fill up, don't get paid till Friday.

That's something that is aggravating about my car. Owners manual says it has an 18.9 gal tank, but if I fill it when the neeedle is on E and warning bells are going off, I can't get more than 16 gal in it. Sometime I should just see how far I can go on empty.

I know someone who knows how many miles they can go once the idiot light comes on

I still have it in my budget to fill weekly. Since I am working, I fill bi-weekly, so I still I had my gas money for the week.

Good idea. Make sure you have a fuel can with you, and your foot has healed. Do you keep a mileage log?

I just find it hard to believe they designed it with a nearly 3 gal reserve. My car gets 25-27 MPG on the highway, that's 75 miles when it shows empty???

Yeah, I am in outside sales. I have to keep track of my mileage for expense reports and tax purposes.

yeah, mines about a 3 gallon reserve. But I only get about 18mpg in the city

Heck, most of the time, I have to fill up once a day.
