Heat + Humidity + Camp for 6 hours = Irritable Megan.
Seriously. That's how today was. Not that I don't love camp, and usually I do, but because of the weather today I had no patience for stupidity. I reamed out one of my counselors today for continually asking me "So can I swim at the pool? Huh? Huh? Can I?" I said NO 37 TIMES!!!!!
*sigh*
I also yelled at all of my campers today after they booed my decision not to play dodgeball after the pool today because it was too darned hot. I was all "I let you play dodgeball every day this week! We even played it this morning! Now we are GOING to play Ghost In The Graveyard, and you ARE going to lay down and BE QUIET!!!!"
Thank God for air conditioning and automatic start in my car! I got in after camp and it was nice and cool, thanks to my remote-starting it 10 minutes earlier.
The job search is still fruitless. Sometimes I just stare at my phone, willing it to ring and for there to be a principal on the other end. People ask me if I've lined up a job yet, and it's all I can do to bite my tongue and say "well, it's still early for teachers..." Is it? I hope? I'm really worried here...I am counting on getting insurance and a good salary so that I can work, save money, move out, get married... *sigh*
Also, let me just say that 85% of the human population does not know how to drive. These are the people we give licenses to? Simply on the way to and from work today (which is about 14 miles round trip, Wheeling to Deerfield and back) I was almost killed three times. Once, a person who just had to get to work faster than me blew the light on Lake Cook Road & Portwine. Dude, I have a time when I have to clock in too! Second, a car in front of me slammed on the brakes on Deerfield Road because they saw a police car. Helloooo, you were already going 4 under the speed limit anyway! The cop isn't going to give you an award because you practically stopped in the middle of the road. The third instance was on the way home, when a landscaping truck decided to ignore the STOP sign (what, should we print those in Spanish too?) and almost rammed into my driver's side door.
Ignorance + Heat + Humidity = Cranky Megan
Thank God it was payday. :-P

That's funny that you wrote about terrible drivers...I posted about them today, too. Seriously, how are these people getting their license? What is the world coming to? Yeah, we'd piss a lot of people off if the rules were stricter to get a driver's license, but the roads would be a safer place.
