Spring Break is over!


I guess that means those lovely days of sitting alone in my home office in my underwear with Radiohead playing on the speakers while I struggle to prepare teaching materials are over, and instead I begin those lovely days of sitting alone in my home office in my underwear with Radiohead playing on the speakers while I struggle to deliver teaching material online.

Maybe I should put on pants to highlight the subtle distinctions here.

    Advice from a stay at home dad(kept man is preferred term). Put on the pants. You will feel a little better. Not a lot, but a little.

    I will be a home schooling parent starting this week, 4th grader and 7th grader. The school district is planning to have a plain place by Wednesday and have assignments at that time. Because we have over 10% of students in the district without an internet connection there is no way to go completely online. Even here at my house internet, can be iffy and we lose connection about once a month. Sometimes for days at a time. According to the FCC broadband is defined as 25 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. I measured us at 11.5 Mbps upload and 1.4 Mbps download just now. Our provider is Centurylink, they suck. Another corporation that loves to take government money but wants no regulations or controls.

    When I’m sitting at home alone, I’m concerned only about the furniture. It’s only when I go out or have guests that I need to be concerned about others and so avoid showing them what they probably don’t want to see. (It’s also good to keep warm which, admittedly, is another cogent reason for wearing clothing.)

    It’s more amusing (and/or horrifying) when you’re British and “pants” means something different.
