How are you feeling right now? (Pt 2)

[Al Swearegen]

About to go to an Individual Learning Program meeting for my boy at college, with my ex-wife.
Here is the picture. He has been at college a few weeks and obviously it is a new environment and they are still trying to correct the fuckup they did with the timetabling and subjects.
Now the Executive Teaching Support person has organised for the teachers to come and meet us in this meeting and been instructed to "put in their two cents worth". One of them has already replied with a whine about my boy and how they could not accommodate him and so on.
So we see exactly where this is going to go. Now here is the question.

"Do you think I will happily stand there and have them whinge about him acting like a person with Autism and not being able to be non-Autistic in their class? Or do you think I will be more than a little keen to remind them that they are fucking teachers and paid to teach their kids shit and my kid is one of the kids in their class so not to whinge at me about it being hard for them that he is Autistic because it is nowhere near as hard for them as it is for him being Autistic for him.

Yeah this meeting is going to be an interesting one. I am not feeling very positive

Teachers are lazy as fuck.

Have been to very similar meetings about my own boy, and he is only 5 yrs old so i reckon i got a few years to go.   I said  "of course teaching styles vary and it's a shame that he had to move out of Miss Sockett's class, because he really enjoyed her lessons.  All he says now is "it's boring"   so just let them know where the 'fails' are coming from.

You could always be real sarcastic and suggest they go on a course

Been to a few of those as well. Good luck, mate. I know you'll do a good job speaking up for your kid.

  I feel mighty chipper for having  slept like shit^TM. 

You decided to trademark that saying?  Mighty uppity of you.

This year's flu strain, I think. The wife and daughter are also sick. Son's the only one who seems to be OK.

There are three strains in the epidemic of this year.
I already had two. Just a month apart.

Hope this isn't a "gotta catch them all" year. Feeling squeamish again.

    I know you will kick ass on your boy's behalf.

  If you wish to dispute my ownership of it, I will  see you in court^TM.

  I feel wistful, almost sad but in a good way, must be this song!

Three? OK, this is just one of them, then. And I don't want the others, thankyouverymuch.

Isn't the swine flu one of this year's, btw?

I can't remember running a fever for this long before.

[PuppetSockPenguin]

"I will find you... and I will kill you"
Except I'm not sure it's possible to hunt down and kill a really, really long couple of days.

[odeon]

Still feverish.

[Parts]

Anxious and itchy

Swine flu is one of them indeed.

First flu I had this year, the fever kept coming back. The one I had last week only took three days, thank goodness. I was home alone, and could hop beds in the night, finding a cool place whenever I wanted.

[Pyraxis]

Tired.
