the (other) waiting game

[velvetpage]

Well, I got the last of the phone calls. It came down to the wire. The deliberated about 20 minutes, which is gratifying. But the other person still won out, so I am going to be placed next week. In the box where you got to give information about inappropriate sites (e.g., my kids attend that school) I put, in big bold letters, highlighted in yellow, "NO INTERMEDIATE CLASSES". I hope they get the picture. At this point, if I never saw another teenager aside from the kids I gave birth to, grown up, I would be perfectly happy.

I feel much less stressed, and this is the first time I haven't fought back tears after getting that kind of phone call. It pays to have no expectations.

Perhaps, I could get you a nice baseball or cricket bat to help with "behavior modification" of the little bastards dears.

Believe me, I've called them worse.
