Dear Everybody Who Has Compared the Nuclear Reactor Situation in Japan to Chernobyl;

STOP IT.

STOP IT RIGHT NOW.

Yes, it is worrying. Yes, there is some new piece of news about something going wrong everyday. Yes, I know you're saying that it's not actually Chernobyl yet. But that's getting lost in translation. Nuclear experts can't even agree about the extent of possible damage in a worst-case scenario. With the days passing a real threat becomes that much less likely. All you're doing is sending my mother into a panic.

I am now getting called at 4:30 in the morning with her telling me that she has a travel agent holding tickets for me on a plane that leaves TODAY. I can't leave today. In fact, I can't leave until the 25th without breaking my contract and getting fucked over for it, and I do not need calls at 4:30 every morning between now and then.

So stop it.

No love,
Me.



In other news, school started again today. At least for today and tomorrow we have a grand total of three periods (I even have class second and third), and then the kids will go home at 11:30. I will... sit here. And stare at my computer screen. Or something.

All the lights and heaters are off to save electricity in the wake of rolling blackouts. (Where I live we appear to be exempt from them. Either that or we're off the grid because every morning we're told they'll happen and every morning they don't.) The kids aren't allowed to use their actual classrooms because those are on the third floor and they're not allowed higher than the second.

It's better than sitting at home like we've been doing the past 3 days, though.
