Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't enhance penises or have fake rolexes.
I have so much work that I now need TWO MONITORS to do it all.

Polter-Cow IS the Lizard King!
It took me half a minute to get that.

It's a rare kind of geek that thinks 'lizard' before 'computer screen'. And that right there is the difference between me and -- um, humanity.
What's interesting is if you look at the literature on sleep patterns, it really ought to be more that way. Young kids are mentally and physically alert early in the morning, yet in many place they start school late. Teenagers, no matter how much sleep they get, are mentally more alert mid-morning. School starting even at nine or nine thirty would be better for them, and for the poor folks who have to go in to teach them.
Fay's story made me giggle a lot.
DH wishes they had a third shift for actuaries. He's most active from about midnight to 2 a.m. Mornings, he hates.
Oh, Brenda, don't get me started. My first hour class was so sleepy and unmotivated. However, since I stumbled into work at 7:31 every morning, clutching a venti coffee and growling like Godzilla with roid rage, we got along well. They didn't talk to me till the 8 a.m. bell rang, and knew that my temper was...uncertain...till I'd had 1/2 a cup of coffee. In fact, after they got comfortable with me, they'd often say "Ms. G., do you need more coffee?"
(Of course. after they got TOO comfortable with me, they'd ask things like "Did you drink too much last night? Did you party all night?" And since I HADN'T, this made me grumpier, knowing my gronk came from nothing like fun.)
yes! The biggest drawback about teaching for me is the hours. I honestly don't know how I'm going to handle having to be at work at 7:30am.
This, too, was my biggest fear, and remains my greatest challenge. Aropund the end of October, though, I started waking up at 6:45.
My greatest teaching tip? Never teach with a hangover. I did this ONCE. I generally never went out on school nights, but I stayed out WAY too late on a date and vodka took me amiss, and oh, god, just DON'T.
