Here are a few random thoughts that I’ve had throughout this week, that on their own could potentially be expanded, but for the time being will remain in crystallized form:

Elementary Schools and Teachers

Ever since I accepted a position working as a cleaner (janitor, custodian, slop mop guy) at an elementary school I’ve gained a new perspective and greater appreciation in regards to everything that occurs behind the scenes.

Prior to working at an elementary school, I had a very one-dimensional view of how schools actually ran, seeing as though my last encounter with a peewee educational fortress was many years ago.

While this could have been about the Semisonic song of the same name (a well-written tune if there ever was one), I’m instead referring to a monumental, life-changing, exhilirating event that occured a mere 11 hours ago.

As of today, May 5th (Cinco de Mayo), my wife and I are now proud home owners.

After years of living with the ‘rents (parents), which really was a wonderful experience with conflict few and far between and being renters of an accomodating townhouse, we decided the time was right.
