Go ChiKat! Woot!

Question for the Bitches: When will vw learn to just keep the tv off the Lifetime channel? I mean, really!

I missed questions.

If i didn't make it clear: I definitely like it. I'm loving it, actually, all the moments that I'm not falling asleep.

Good idea on the Emergen-C. I'm gonna run to the pharmacy soon for that and other preventative magics. I have hand sanitizer just waiting for a convenient storage space; I don't have my own classroom this year, and the giant cart I'm planning on using to carry files and pleasantries such as kleenex, hand sanitizer, cough drops, pencils, etc. from room to room hasn't arrived yet. Along with many other things that will make my life easier, like overhead projectors (the ability to carry my opening problem from room to room and just throw it on the projector will be ver' nice). Getting all the equipment for a brand new school in time for school to start is apparently pretty much impossible.

Debet has me right. This is my first year as a full-on teacher.

I meant to say "Welcome" to StolenCubicle as well, but got too caught up in talking about myself. So I correct now (see, I'm getting better): Welcome, SCube! I like your tagline.

Go Laura with the being a parent who encourages/forces education into children! That's the part of the educational equation that us teachers have so little control over, and it's so important to the final result.

Go Chikat with the almost-there of joining our club!

We do have a lot of teachers. If we're allowed to count non-Buffista friends, then I can add about 20 more to the list: I'm pretty good friends with almost everybody in my year at math for america.

And in non-teacher talk, I leave you with the Best (possibly fake) Commercial Ever, from which I am now taking a tagline: [link]

We already have a shitload: me, Kristin, ChiKat, Gris, Kat, Emily...am I missing anyone?

Hil's teaching, isn't she?

I think I'm allergic to DC. I'm back here a week, and I'm sick again. I barely sneezed the entire summer, but now, full-on stuffed sinuses, wheezing, sore throat from hell.

Hil's teaching, isn't she?

TAing during the year. Not really the same.

ChiKat, congrats!

I don't know how I didn't post that the last time. Sometimes I think a thing so much, I also think I've posted it.

Were you teaching over the summer, Hil?

I couldn't get that (possibly fake) commercial to load, Gris. What's it like?

This Fedex/Kinko's commercial is my favorite: [link] Scott and I howled the first time we saw it. Anyone who's ever been part of a soul sucking team at work may enjoy it.

Cindy, thanks for the youtube link. I've been looking for that opening.

That baby never fails to lighten my mood.

Were you teaching over the summer, Hil?

Yeah, at a program for gifted kids.

Welcome, SCube! I like your tagline.

Thanks! I like your enthusiam.

If it's not to expensive, you might consider getting a laser pointer for amusement purposes. One of my math teacher confiscated one from a troublesome student and ended up using it all year. Endless mirth.

---

Yay, Chikat!

That was an interesting day's worth of reading to catch up on - love the teacher talk.

I spent most of the day, er, resting. OK, catching up on sleep from Thursday night's lack thereof. Feeling surprisingly unbleary, considering. Thanks again for all the "yay"s - they are great to see!

One of my loaner customers got pinched for DUI.

In our car.

Which is now impounded.

They are forever banned from getting loaners.
