Ahhh, Friday. It’s way more significant now that I work outside the house during the week. Let’s circle up!

Bitch: These grocery stores with their digital coupons BS annoy me so much. Why do I need to download an app or visit a website and save a coupon in order to get the lowest price? Just give your customers the lower prices and stop making it an ordeal!

Brag: Pops loaned me his car for the week, which has made my daily commute and after-school errands much easier. Oh, and he’s subscribed now, so wave hello!

Bitch: A bittersweet week as Momcat’s birthday was Wednesday. This was the first year I didn’t have Ippie as a source of comfort, so that added an extra twist to my usual grieving.

Brag: I worked out both days last weekend and felt so good afterwards…now I need to figure out how to get in some exercise sessions during the week once I get home from school.

Bitch: The longer I work at Wagstaff, the more frustrated I get with administration and their unwillingness to make these kids understand there are consequences to their behavior. There’s little accountability or follow-through and often I feel like I can’t do anything.

Brag: For the last two weeks I covered for two different teachers who have exceptionally well-managed classes, from students who were well-behaved and focused on doing their work to lesson plans that made sense. Even if admin cannot get their shit together, the teachers are great—and there are quite a few good kids, too.

This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, vegan breakfasts, the octopus book, women-centric movies, and more!
