CATBUS, and other meanderings...

So I guess I'll start out with what You're all wondering which is what the fuck is CATBUS. CATBUS could be any number of things. But the CATBUS I'm talking about is a circa 1999 Rav4 (no space before the four)that has vanity plates. They say "CATBUS." I guess "Homely Middle Aged Woman with No Life or Friends" Wouldn't fit on the plates (Things after all are not that much bigger in Texas.) Anyway I see CATBUS all the time. On my way home from work, on my way to work. I guess CATBUS lives in my neighborhood. Anyway Now that everyone is at the point where they are saying "so, where is this going?" I'm going to tell you. CATBUS drives slow. very slow. And CATBUS is always always in front of me. CATBUS is the typical Texas driver. Can't signal, can't turn on a green arrow, can't go over 34 in the left lane, can't check their blind spot. but she's got an SUV (well as much as a RAV4 can be called an SUV.) CATBUS Signifies all that wrong in the world. Empty people trying to fill their empty lives with space and with things that can't survive if they run away.
On to bigger and better fish. I was watching a short news segment about Laura Bush today. And I noticed something was odd. i couldn't quite put my finger on it, then i new what it was. She looks like a small scared dog. just like that dog on the Snapple commercials.
And there aren't even any cats in the fucking car.

What I want to know is why am I subbing today? Now normally this would not be a quesion that I would ask. We sub each others classes, and we get paid more for it. Fine, but the point I'm making here is, why am I subbing today when the Seniors are gone and there are teachers who teach only Seniors. That means they are not teaching. At all. They have the day off. I teach two senior classes, Which means I only have three now. But these people have none. No classes. So their schedule is wide open. Why am I fucking subbing? Bullshit.

I'm getting soft. I blame you.
