Is it any surprise that the Watcher thinks that winter is the best time of year? There's just something about the way that the snow piles up to the side of the roads and on top of things. The way that the snow dusts the branches of the trees and the way that it glistens in the sunlight. The quiet that descends on the town, muffling loud noises as the snow falls from the sky. Winter is magical.
However magical the winter was, the Chikamoris didn't have a whole lot of time to play in it with Shigeo having to work and Haruo having to help River with laundry.
Greta asked Brianna how her day went since Brianna was looking rather tired and stressed. Teaching high-school students who were generally motivated was easier than teaching those who were not motivated to succeed. And well, Brianna wanted her students to succeed and that involved changing approaches to teaching each individual student under her care. It was incredibly stressful and well, Brianna was wondering if teaching was actually the profession that she wanted to continue in. Brianna liked having a contemporary that she could confide in with her brother's wife. It certainly helped having such a family member whom she could bounce ideas off and with Greta in politics. Greta on the other hand was propelling herself up the political ladder becoming a city council member.
"Just relax and go with the flow..." Greta said, "The kids who will learn will learn; it's the ones that are in need of help that you should focus on and the ones who absolutely refuse to learn, won't be helped no matter how much effort you put into them. A part of the onus has to be on them and you'll burn yourself out if you try to be all things to all people.
River knew that laundry had to be done, but it was certainly apparent that it was a task that had to be done than enjoyed.
Meanwhile over at the recreation facility... (the Watcher was bored...)
The town robin got her just desserts and got singed by a nasty lightning bolt, courtesy of the Watcher. And Haruo who was against such criminal acts by the town robin, laughed in her face.
Of course, she got zapped a second time. Redistributing wealth should be left up to the government of Canada and most who earned their finances are against money for nothing. Of course, the Watcher doesn't mind giving his Chosen Few a bit of a leg up once in a while. Isn't hypocrisy fun?
"GET BACK TO WORK; YOU LAZY SIM! THOU SHALT NOT LAY ABOUT AND SEEK COMPENSATION FROM OTHERS!!! UNLESS THOU ART TRULY IN NEED OF HELP BECAUSE OF DISABILITY!"
Man...that's gotta hurt.
Blessed be the name of the Watcher;
Blessed shall His Works be;
May He smite those who do wickedness
May He give solace and comfort to those in need.
Blessed in all Things; Comfort in all Things; Amen,
Yeah... havoc and mayhem Be Thy Name. Yippy Yay!!!.
