Another Monday. Here are my Monday questions, that will plague me through my week:
Why did I spend this Monday sending paperwork upstairs when about eight of my students have 48 hours until their GED test?
Why does it feel like the details of budgets, funding, work plans, line items, reporting, etc. are taking over my life?
Why do I feel like I am living out irony by applying to policy-related graduate programs when the policy portion of my job sucks and the people portion rocks?
Why don’t i just apply to Social Work programs so that I can make other people’s business into my business…as a profession?
Why do I feel like a career only counts if it is "official" because it deals with "policy"?
Why is the death penalty still in this country?
Why was someone put to death last week in MD and in Cali tonight?
Why is the GED office in DC only offering one partial test per month when 90% of my students pass the GED by taking the test two or three times…an eight hour test is not easy for anyone, much less someone who has been out of school for a number of years and did not particularly enjoy school when they were in it?
Why have I discovered a sudden obsession with the show Oz?

Good questions.
Here’s another one, P. Why do you stress yourself over things that require systemic change rather than an overnight solution.
You’re one of the good ones out there, P, fighting the right battle.
And cause you’re fascinated with male prison rape.
