It is Bagel Friday in my new office, and the bagels are delicious.

At my other office (which I'll be returning two next week), I will be moved out of my old desk and into an office with a door.

There is no blinky message light on my phone this morning.

Life? Pretty damn good.

Excellent, Jessica! Bagels ARE delicious. My mother and I have chocolate chip bagels every Saturday morning and try to pretend we aren't having chocolate chips for breakfast.

Dilemma, buffistas!! I am substituting today and I brought in Kit-Kats to hand out, it being nearly Halloween, but I underestimated and didn't bring enough. Now, it's high school classes, not little kids, so I seriously doubt hard feelings, but should I hand it out until it's gone or just not hand out any at all? I already gave them out to one class. I'm thinking I brought it, I might as well give it away?

Jessica, I read new office and I was like, "Did I skim a new job?" Then an office with a door = heaven!

I can't fathom being doorless. Since being a teacher, I've had a door to close since the beginning. There is something really delightful about one's own space. Even a space one shares regularly with 47 other people. But during my time, I get to close the door and just be alone.

This was just by the side of the street! I paod 50¢. Which I totally didn't have on me in coins.

One other advantage to the handicap placard is I never have to pay for metered parking (the other advantage is $3 parking at UCLA medical instead of $11).

Now, it's high school classes, not little kids, so I seriously doubt hard feelings, but should I hand it out until it's gone or just not hand out any at all? I already gave them out to one class. I'm thinking I brought it, I might as well give it away?

if you have somethign for them to do to earn it (in my class it's read your writing aloud), then you can more fairly give it away based on earning it. Or give it out only if you have enough for a class period.

Also, a 3:30 am phone call makes me wake up in a panic, because the only time anyone calls me at the time is if someone has died! So then it is even harder getting back to sleep.

Exactly my problem. I didn't get up to answer, but then had to wait to see if there was a voicemail, which I would have gotten up for.

At least I finished a library book I need to return tomorrow?

chocolate chip bagels

Abomination!

(Sorry, Brooklyn reflexes. Ask one of the old-timers to tell you about the NYCistas in Panera on Saturday morning at the first F2F...)

Kat, nope, no new job, Just a new desk. IN AN OFFICE WITH A DOOR.

Hey Jessica, is Dylan in preschool now?

I would kill for a bagel from Essa Bagel right now. Even here outside Philly, the bagels just ain't the same.

Kat, nope, no new job, Just a new desk. IN AN OFFICE WITH A DOOR.

Woot!

Abomination!

I really think I need to hear this story!
