I was attacked by a student today. I wasn't teaching, wasn't training, was in fact in street clothes behind the sign-in desk, and she grabbed me in a bear hug because I took away the piece of paper she was referring to (she's not allowed to have it, by current rules). And there was shrieking.
I told her a) "You
really
don't want to do this. Trust me. Don't." and b) "Inside voice, dear, inside voice."
Given she bit me a couple months ago, I'm not sure it'll take.
These are the risks of my glamourous lifestyle.
I'm sorry, ita, kick her ass.
I gave him $10 and told him if he was scamming me, karma would get him.
Fair deal, really.

So, according to the rules, are you allowed to hit her? Or muzzle her at least?
No hitting, I fear, especially when a new student is being signed up just over there. She detached, I asked her what that was, and she said (outside voice) that she liked me and couldn't help herself, and was supposed to have the paper. Since it was page two of seven, I let her keep it (plus it was al crumpled in her attack) and she stuffed it into her pants where I assured her it was quite safe from us all.
I like you more than she does, and I can help myself.
I dislike this person. We shall never be friends. And she bit you.
She loses. At life.
So no psych test for krav classes then?
::rereads what happened::
Wow. Just wow.
We encourage (and breed) a certain sort of crazy. Not her specific breed of a lack of survival instinct, though.
I should introduce her to the cricket I just accidentally killed. Maybe they can compare notes.
(In my defense, I was trying to get it out of the sink and the water was already going by the time I saw it. I did stop the kittenish from attacking with my clever use of a bit of turkey. Pretty much just means I wasted the protein since the big died anyway. I really wasn't trying to kill it even after it startled the yelp out of me.)
Skipping a few hundred posts to make sure tommyrot knows about the Penguins On Parade in Hinsdale. [link]
They are being auctioned at the Brookfield Zoo this sunday. Here's some pics of one penguin. [link]
I was a forceps delivery, and it almost took my eye out. This was 1972, and my doc was called off the golf course to come in and deliver, and he was LOADED. The nurses kept the doc from doing too much, and I was ok.
Ah, the halcyon days before malpractice suits.
