I am mildly ticked that I have so many papers to grade that I could not go see "Borat" this afternoon with my family. And so I am writing my little blog now as a way of rebelling against the strictures of this job.

I do like teaching but I do not like grading papers on weekends and at night, and those are pretty much the only times available to do the grading.

I am also working in a SMALL private school and I have lots fewer students than do my public school colleagues. And yet I complain.

I stuck my arm in the free blood pressure machine at Target today and my bp is high. One more thing to worry about. Would seeing "Borat" have lowered my bp? I don't know.

Okay, okay, back to work, for a little bit anyway.
