Occupation

I'm a teacher. I run an in-school suspension room for high school students. I get the impression that some of you folks would have been in my program when you were in school!!

:o  THAT WAS YOU?!?!?

Only one 3 hr in-school.....it was just me and one other person sitting in the lobby of the principal's office.  A few out of school suspensions for fighting in elementry and middle school.

Fresh off a two month stint as a deputy slum lord-- :-[ahem :-[ --property manager (for my Mentor while he frolicked around in Italy) presumably to kill my constant craving to be a landlord despite my potentially disastrous near-purchase last summer. I'm sooo cured!

No seriously I do mean it! Those people in his properties were NUTS! I swear it's in the rental agreement fine print:

-must not pay your already subsidized rent in cash or money order, but in rubber-sealed bank drafts in your baby momma aintee's name along with five pre-rehearsed excuses when I come right back here after driving to the bank (cuz aintee and I happen the share the same bank) to learn that the check ain't no damn good.
-must maintain a mysterious wafting poopy smell in apartment at all times. may substitute cat pi$$.
-must move out in the middle of the nite and take the diamondy looking cabinet knobs. extra points for leaving out the "t" in when you spray paint "bich" across the living room wall when you leave
-most importantly, must be certifiably and verifiably OFF YOUR ROCKER--anyone caught ON their rocker at any time faces IMMEDIATE EVICITION).

Jeez!! No wonder Mike's so surly all the time (oh, uh, Hi Mike!  :-*).

Ok ok so I'm exaggerating (but not by much. First two things really happened as described although he did "find" the money that day to give me, and the b-word was actually politely enclosed in an envelope and left in the rent box when another tenant bailed with the knobs). My mentor loves being a landlord. I guess I could get used to it, but I do see what others mean about who you rent to. Most of his tenants were actually decent working people that are happy to have a chance at something nice(his properties are lovely rehab rental houses and apartment buildings), then there were two that did things like I described above and a few that tried other shenanigans here and there.

Even still, the bad outweighed the good and I woke up more than enough times with a bellyache.

Oh, and it takes up wayyy too much time! I couldn't even play with my friends on sites like reiclub.com--I missed you guys  :'(.

I prefer getting it and getting rid of it.

So I will stick with my other four and a half occupations for now  :D
