Angel ,'Not Fade Away'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Good to hear daniel!
Sean, please look at what was said up there... many folks giving good advice. Watch out for yourself.
ION, why is it you never remember the sheets are in the dryer when you are being all insomniac'd in the living room. But once you are ready for bed, and go into the bedroom, THEN you see, "golly, my bed is naked... fuck", and Lo! you are awake again! Weeeee.
Conversations one doesn't particularly expect/relish during lunch duty in the playground:
(Mark, who's about 10 or so, is a wee bit on the SEN side, although I'm not sure quite what flavour. I'm thinking autistic spectrum? Maybe? Bright kid, socially awkward...anyway, whatever.)
Mark (who has been grilling me on music of the 50s, 60s & 80s, with particular attention to jazz): So what movies do you like? Do you like Doris Day movies?
Me: Yes! Yes, I've seen lots of Doris Day movies.
Mark: Like Pillow Talk? With Rock Hudson?
Me: Yes, I like that one.
Mark: Rock Hudson is dead. He died of AIDS. Was he a gay?!?!!
Me: Yes.
thinks: Oh, fuck. Hang on. Impulse to straight-talking may get me in trouble shortly.
Mark: Why do gays get AIDS?
thinks: this really is not the moment to start talking about the relative merits of anal versus vaginal sex. Even though that seems like the obvious answer. Because I do not teach this year group, and I don't have a clue what the policies are on sex ed [although I know they've been doing sex ed, which I suspect may be connected with Mark's train of thought]. Run away! Run away!
Me: Well, there are lots of ways people can catch diseases. With HIV, which is what causes AIDS, it's transmitted through bodily fluids. So if you got someone else's blood mixed with yours, for example - people can get HIV through getting a blood transfusion that's infected.
Mark: Or through sex.
Me: Er. Yes, that too.
Mark: So we have to be careful when we have sex!
Me: Yes. (bulldozing ahead, cheerfully) There's lots of ways of getting diseases - like when I was bitten by a dog, I could have been infected with rabies or something else, so I had to have lots of shots.
Mark: Hmm.
Random Small Kid: Miss Fay! Atman hit me!
Me: Oh, thank God. Coming! Bye, Mark!

Aw, kids. My friend Elaine recently had one of her six year olds ask her what the difference between a transvestite and a transexual was.
Hee, guess I got off lucky with the kid questions. The most awkward stuff I get are hippie of the 60s drug type questions.
Good to hear that you survived work, Daniel. Rapid healing thoughts.
And off to drive to school... I did exercise in the pool at 6:30am. New plan day one.
Thank you Trudy!
Also... Royal Classy Caps!?!

What does SEN stand for? I gather, from context, that it's a behavioral/neurobiological thing, but I can't parse what the abbreviation maps to.

Ugh. I'm on 4 10-hour days now that I'm back to a 40-hour week, so I'm up earlier than I think is right and proper. I have to roll out the door by 7:45 to get to work by 8:15, and then I work until 6:15. It'll be an adjustment, I'm sure; the hardest part about *today* is that I also have writing class at 7:00, so there's not point in going home after work; I'm just going straight from work, and then class until 9:00, and then home by 9:30. THAT will be a fucking long day.
Also... Royal Classy Caps!?!
They're the classiest! (Hey, if that isn't their slogan, it *should* be....)
Dear God. I already need more coffee.
Eeep. Yes, extra coffee this morning. I don't bother with coffee until I get to the office, but that is a couple hours after I am up and at 'em.
4x10 is tough, but 3 days off, not so tough. It's good to have a week day to get stuff done for yourself.
OK, I guess I have to Google Royal Classy Caps.
4x10 is tough, but 3 days off, not so tough.
If you only spend one day in bed recovering from the tough work week, it's works out pretty well. Two 16 hour days plus a 6.5 hour day may yield four days off in a week, but IME it also yields spending 3 of those days off in bed.
ION, Fay's kids slay me.

Ah, the image, at 8AM...
