I've been thinking about starting an English teacher LJ just for my English teaching friends...would you be interested in joining?

I'm feeling all left out and sulky.

Seriously though, I'm so impressed by the whole thing. I remember at one point thinking about teaching English, and now that I'm actually getting closer and closer to teaching in general, I find myself thinking, "How on earth do they do it?"

I'm feeling all left out and sulky.

Emily, I didn't mean that non-English teachers couldn't join at all! I just figured most other people wouldn't be interested. You'd be more than welcome as would anyone else who wants to come talk English (or even just general) education shop.

I said "only" meaning only people I knew or friends of people I knew--IOW, not opening it to the general public so much as to a more private community.

Yay! I promise not to hate you.

Okay, that was a joke that was funny only to me, based on my streak of bad relationships with English teachers in my youth.

By the way, since we're both here...Emily thinks I made up the word caddywompus. Please tell her I'm not the only person who uses this word. Please. I'm not totally weird, am I?

hi, and urg. stupid job.

I've always pronounced it with t's, rather than d's, but still, real word that people use.

I never said I thought you made it up! I said I'd never heard it before and it sounded funny. But I figured you got it from somewhere.

(Also, I thought you were saying "kittywompus". Or maybe "cattywompus". Which are both even funnier.)

(((Nora)))

I'm so sorry, Nora. Anything we can do?

I'm sorry June isn't over yet, Nora.

I've heard caddywompus, but I don't know what it means. That link is blocked by the office netnanny, which surprises me.
