Sitting in a corner is never a good thing

But i do it a lot anyway. And inspiration also comes from different places. Sometimes it is from a big event, others, it is just the realisation that i am really late and that i should not bake a cake as the oven will probably be left outside and the cat set on fire.

Other times, it is the realisation that a big event is actually coming up and that i am completely and absolutely unprepared. It is all very hectic, but that is how things generally are, and i guess you just go with the flow after a while.

It all makes me think of what i am going to do a few years from now, or even a few minutes from now because of some other thing and comtemplating the usefulness of a course of action. While sitting in a corner. It all means that i get to gauge people's reactions to certain things and thus make up a story in my head so i can write about it later, albeit, with different names and all that.

I remember reading a newspaper once and it featured an article on the very controversial MySchool website. Now i hate that site with a passion because it is completely unfair. People who have no idea where schools are and view this site think, "Hey this school (which is rural) is not nearly as good as this school (which is a selective high in NSW)" and thus makes it all unfair and puts more pressure on the teachers. It is made even worse with Julia Gillard wanting to use parents as "strike breakers". And what happens if a fight starts with these parents as carers? Legal ramifications up to the Seventh Circle, that's what. Even worse is this insensitive "grown-up" who said "Teachers don't want the results posted on the MySchool website because it means they have to work harder". Clearly this person has been living under a boulder for the past decade, what with all those televised strikes and all! Besides missing the actual point of the protests, which is shaming schools who do worse because the students do not wish to do better instead of the teacher's lack of passion for their work, why should they work harder for the same crappy pay they get now?

Hoping you don't meet too many insensitive cowards throughout your life.
