JetShack

This sometimes happens here at JetShack…  I've been if not overwhelmed, then crazy busy.  This site tends to a take a backseat when that happens.  School is winding down, Track is winding down, the bathroom remodel is winding down…  but the last few weeks have been out of control.

I started work on classroom website for next year.  I'm trying to target the keyword "Teacher Website".  I think it's going to work out amazingly well. You can read more about it on the site if you're interested.

I also applied to be reinstated at DMOZ.

I've also been trying to put together the outline for a new teaching stratedy combining the elements of the flipped classroom, the inspired workspace, and classroom desktop publishing.

Long story short… I've been busy.

First off, this isn't my brother in law's (forever to be called "P" from this point on).  The other night P needed to borrow my truck to help move his girlfriend.  That's one of the reasons I have a truck, family needs to borrow one from time to time.  When he finished with it, he had to park in the street as his car was in the driveway along with Jen's Aunts (forever to be called "T" from this point) SUV.  No biggie.  I've parked in the street before.

When I went to do a quick hunt the next day I realized my detector wasn't in the toolbox.  I thought maybe P had taken it out when he was using it, so I called him and asked if it was in the toolbox when he used it…  It had been, and he hadn't moved it. 

Evidently some freaking bastards decided to get into my toolbox and steal my detector.  This is the third time we've been robbed since moving into this house.  Makes me sick.

If there's a silver lining (which there isn't), this has moved my detector purchase up a bit.  More on that in the next post.

Yesterday I went with the track team to it's first outdoor meet.  I packed for the meet the night before and made sure to put in aspariin, sunscreen, allergy pills.  When I was going through the medicine cabinet picking out those things I also saw a tube of Icy Hot.  I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to throw that in as well.

When I got to the track meet the sun was just starting to come up so I decided to lather on the sunscreen. Right when I began digging around in my bag, one of the athletes started asking me a question.  I looked up to answer him and then felt the tube of sunscreen.  I answered his question took the tube out of the bag and closed the bag up.  Then I opened the tube and started squeezing out some of the lotion onto my finger.

I always start with my ears and make sure to cover every single square milimeter of them.  Then I rubbed some of the lotion onto my neck.   I also hate it when I get my cheeks sunburned so I rubbed some lotion on them as well.  Last but not least I needed to protect my nose.  So I put some of the sunscreen on my nose and started working it in…

At the exact same moment I became aware that my ears were starting to feel funny and that the sunscreen smelled funny.  So I looked down at the tube and wouldn't you know it…

10 minutes later I thought my face was going to melt off.
