Worked: 5:30 - 2:00, 6:00 - 9:00 (11.5 hours)
I've been wrasslin' and wrasslin' with this school year, and feel like the school year has just performed a butt drag on me. The grading, the kids, the prep, the department chair paperwork, the consulting work, the Metalhead Guild insanity that my Thursday lunches have become...yep, they've all coalesced in one giant butt drag.

Not a single hour worked over the weekend, and now I feel both a) guilty and b) incredibly behind.

Worked: 6:00 - 2:00, 4:00 - 7:00 (11 hours)
Spent: $20 on color printer ink for maps of Napoleon's empire
The week started off yesterday with one of those days that make me feel lucky and gratified and thankful and oh so pleased with myself and my teaching skillz and my students and my colleagues. Today began with a late start, a 1st period oozing with ennui and exhaustion, and a rest-of-the-day chock full of students asking questions such as "Wait, you have a class website?!" No, the website that is on your syllabus and that I mention EVERY DAMN DAY doesn't actually exist.
Le sigh.

Worked: 5:30 - 2:30
Spent: $240 on a plethora of printer ink, vinyl letter stickers so that the kids can actually read the homework lists that I put on the white board, an upgrade to my Dropbox account to use for department chair stuff, and a bunch of other crap that no one cares about until their job doesn't buy it for them.
Today I gave the kids one of those "it's time to be an adult and grow up" lectures when I found out that barely a single one of them actually studied for their test. It included liberal use of my new favorite daily affirmation, "Nelson is kickin' ass and takin' names." I also used it as a chance to brag very obnoxiously about my ass-kicking time at the Urban Cow Half Marathon yesterday: 1 hour, 48 minutes, and some seconds but I don't remember exactly how many!

Worked: 6:00 - 3:00 (9 hours)
But, those hours of the incredibly long, stressful and exhausting varietal. I literally crashed on the couch at 8:30, much to The Boyfriend's chagrin. He's a lucky fellow, that one!
