Tried to install the baby gate that arrived today. The gate came with few extensions with which one could use multiple combination to accommodate different opening width. One such combination accommodates up to 44" opening. The next combination up starts at 44.5" opening. Predictably, the opening I wanted to use the gate is wider than 44" and narrower than 44.5". :palm:

I work in Special Education (severe).

It's not broken THAT badly. It just looks slightly bent.

Jeebus. You don't get paid enough. No matter what you're paid.

Sorry Salty, but you are doing good work and outbursts seem to be inevitable in your field. My niece and her fiance both do similar work and have various scars and stories. Heal well and straight.

Sorry to hear about the accident, I hope your new nose does a better job of dodging obstacles. And hoping there was no pain involved.

Really sorry Salty. That is an extremely tough job. Its complicated to restrain a child in the school system, its you who its ok to hurt somehow. Feel for you, hope it heals quickly.

That sucks Salty.

I had an awesome day today. I arrived, jet lagged, to my office this morning and had a card in my mailbox. It was a thank you card from one of the 15 year olds in the summer program for high school girls I run each summer. She had written a thank you card saying how much she and the other girls enjoyed the program. She also told me that she had used the stipend she got at the end of the program (each girl gets $500 at the end) to start up her own 3 day cheerleading camp for some kids at the local homeless shelter. She used the money for t-shirts, bows, snacks and gift packs consisting of crayons, pens, candies, and stickers. She also sent a picture of the kids at her cheerleading camp - they looked so happy. It is hard to express how moved I was by this. It really made my day and every time I look at the picture, I get a little choked up.
