Bad Ass Bitch Survival Guide; Friday, First Period [11/01].

At the start of class, Rosa was sitting behind the desk, her feet up, picking at her nails. She had a pretty good feeling what was going to happen with the class, but, hey, who knew? A lot could happen between the hours of the middle of the night and the start of the actual class.

"Alright," she said, once it was time to get going, looking over the gathered students, "I'm assuming one of you, at least, managed to secure the hatchet, and if not, then...I'm very disappointed in you, you all fail."

No, no, they didn't.

"So, after our Best Bad Ass Bitch reveals herself, we're going to mostly spend the rest of the class with a nice highlight reel I put together this morning of all the hijinx from the security cams I put up basically everywhere in those hallways. Hope none of you did anything too embarrassing, but, hey, I brought popcorn. And, if you want, we can even discuss where everyone went totally wrong and what to improve on for next time."

Who didn't love a movie day, right? Especially when the movie was themselves.

Cooking Through History, Period 2

"Good morning," Hannibal said, nodding to the students. "We've just passed a holiday that has been around for hundreds of years; similarly, the foods used to celebrate it and other harvest holidays have also been around that long. Varieties of oat cake have come down to us from several countries; parsnips were widely cultivated. You'll note both these dishes are baked. They might also traditionally have been made over a fire; methods vary. Dishes were, however, metal at this point, which allowed for higher heats and faster cooking."

He waved at the medieval-looking kitchen around them. "So, make your cakes and pies. Let me know if you have any questions."

"There's a joke-but-not-really that goes around at Halloween about the candy tax parents take from their children's buckets," Steve began, holding up a plastic bucket full of chocolate candy.

"Which is a clever way to explain taxation and how it should work vs how it works now," Tony said, passing out equal amounts of candy to each student.

"We're going to keep it simple today," Steve said, "and not delve into how sales tax disproportionately affects lower income earners. We're also not going to talk about different state and locality taxes. We're going to focus on federal income tax. So this pile of candy is your yearly income. Don't eat it yet."

"Now taxes as a concept are actually good for a healthy government. They pay for maintenance and building of public works, emergency services, bridges and roadways," Tony said. "But say the system for extracting these services is broken."

"Since you all got equal amounts of candy, we're saying you're all at the same tax bracket. If we tell you that you are in the lowest tax bracket, you need to give us ten percent of your candy," Steve said.

"One if you will be in the top tax bracket," Tony added. "And will get that extra ten percent they've lost."

Steve rolled his eyes. "Because rich people need more."

Sometimes Steve's righteousness forgot he was dating one of the richest men on the planet.

Which was possibly why Tony shuffled awkwardly. "So, let's begin the exercise!"

The lack of cats made work less than appealing this week. But there was a large amount if leftover candy to occupy his time.

He almost missed the murderous clowns at this rate.

Look, sometimes a nice, quiet day was worse than a bust one. These were the favts.
