Shit I didn't say:
"You're going to do it BECAUSE I TOLD YOU TO. Also, take your attitude and shove it up your thirteen-year-old ASS."
"Why should you have to clean up after other classes? Well, y'ain't doing shit so far as learning goes, so I figure you might want to get some cleaning experience in." Oh, and that first sentence all over again.
Ooh, and also: "Hey, you know what's really helpful in making me a better teacher? When you interrupt me to give suggestions about what I should be doing in front of the students."
Wow. California has interesting "Other Circumstances" categories on its tax return:
Crime Hotline Reward
Beverage Container Recycling Income
Compensation for false imprisonment
Ottoman Turkish Empire Settlement Payments
Beverage Container Recycling Income
When I was in Maine this past summer, there was a family in the house next to ours who had a whole bunch of kids. Two of the boys, ages 10 and 12 or so, went through the neighborhood each trash day with wagons and bike trailers and went through the stuff that everyone was throwing out, collecting bottles and cans. They brought them back to their house, sorted them, and paid their older brother to drive them to the recycling center. They ended up making something like $2000 over the course of the summer.
Things Safeway has substituted that I wish they hadn't:
- sharp cheddar for extra sharp
- sea salt pita chips for Greek Flavor pita chips
- mild salsa for medium
Substitutions in general, I get -- one size for another or one brand for another -- but here they've actually sort of changed the product that I ordered!
Shit I didn't say:
- No, I'm not seeing anyone. Please don't do this. Okay, I'm lying to be nice.
- Dammit! That hurt! I want to whine now, and be coddled.
- How dare you not be attracted to girls like me!
- I wonder if the fact that you're attracted to girls like me will ever be relevant.
- Who are you calling girlie???
- Hire me. Right now.
I really need a job. Spending full days at the krav centre is making me altered.
Shit I didn't say today:
Have you directed a show before?
Shit I didn't say...I don't think I left anything unsaid today.
Anyone up and about?
I would like to raise a glass to anyone who didn't leave anything unsaid...and got away with it. Suffice it to say, I feel like a heel, but a backed-into-a-corner heel.
I feel the need to point out that I didn't really interact with many people yesterday that would have needed things said to them. Or, I was just really, really oblivious to what was going on in the world around me. That could be it too.
I don't think I ever don't leave anything unsaid. But that may mostly be because the world inside my head is bigger than the world outside my head and requires more commentary. That the world outside my head would be unhappy to hear.
