Apart from the bad Internet access on my end, it's a fine day for me to lurk across threads (including the kiwi shooting), as per usual.
 
tfw don't get a Birthday hat because of the Farms' recent changes.

But, overall, I had a pretty great day (Well, more like week). I'm a substitute teacher so, in all honesty, I don't get a lot of chances to feel actually useful since a lot of the assignments are just the school needing a warm body in the classroom for liability reasons, but, for the past week I've been doing the same para position helping out a girl with down's and a neurotypical girl with a disability that confines her to a wheelchair. If you know anything about special needs kids then you'll know that any major change or having to spend their time with someone who doesn't know how to properly communicate with them can really ruin their day. Over the course of the week I got to know these girls' routines and mannerisms to the point where I was consistently able to make their days a little better and their lives a little easier, in a way that wouldn't have been possible if they had a different sub everyday. I felt like I was actually needed. Plus, having a child genuinely and unconditionally excited to see that you're there in the morning is an extremely rewarding feeling and I wish I got to experience it more often.

Happy birthday! Glad you've got that kind of opportunity to get something genuinely rewarding out of your job, hope there's plenty more in your future.

I'm pretty good, thanks.
 
Other than my ear being plugged and feeling half deaf, things are great. Just had pizza...so that's a +

Hope you are doing well yourself.

The good news is Nebraska basketball played well as an underdog, the bad news is we squandered way too many chances in the last 10 minutes and ended up losing. So I'm both proud of the effort and mad that we didn't finish the deal.

I hope your team gets better scores in the future. Im not well versed in sports but I know losing sucks.

I hope you feel better soon! Honey can help a lot. Keep hydrated and eat something warm.

Thanks! We're probably done for the season but the good news is both of the teams played like shit today so the team that beat is us probably gonna get assraped tomorrow, which is a decent consolation (and at least I saw my team go down nobly instead of getting murdered)
