[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.

juliana, those markers are gorgeous. I would never have found them without you.

My one concern is that one blog I read suggested that the markers are harder to wipe off than regular chalk.

I'm assuming, though, that the vinyl chalkboard is easier to wet wipe than even the paint version. Has that been your experience?

I'd MUCH prefer markers if they really will wash off completely.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

All the classrooms I've worked in for at least 10 years have had dry erase boards. It's been a long time since I've had to deal with chalk.

Lucky. I've got classrooms with totally scratched-up chalkboards that are barely readable.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That has been. The markers come off easily with a lightly damp cloth - much like using the spray for the dry-erase boards.

Decision made. Thanks so much!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My classrooms tend to have both chalk and white boards, and I've discovered I prefer the chalk, but only because the chalk dust takes a while before it starts to bother me whereas the fumes from the dry erase markers bug me right from the get go.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I just noticed that on the back of my valium prescription info sheet is a recipe for shrimp scampi pizza. Seriously, That made me laugh.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Is it entitled "Plan B"?

Thrive to spite them

So I had my monthly 1 on 1 meeting at work, I met my goals. Now I have new goals.

My supervisor asked how the training was going iwth the new girl and I said I think we had a bit of a personality conflict (which surprised her) and I talked about some struggles I had. I got some advice.

The main thing is she's eager and she's not listening to what customers are saying. Also I should have been letting her ring up on my numbers and shadowing her. But she has her own numbers now and today I'll be shadowing her.

I'm not doing such a hot job training, but I'll be better today.

And I'm being asked to apply to 2 full time positions. I had some waffling over whether I should go back to work full time at all, but I've been working around 30 hours a week and full time at this store is a minimum of 33 hours. And I've looked at the schedule for the full time people in the positions (it's full time what I do nnow and another job I'm cross training for) and they get just around the minimum hours. Which is fine.

The only thing I didn't think about is health insurance and if my new therapist will take the health insurance they offer, so I'm going to talk to my supervisor about it.

It would mean a little bit of a raise and leave time. So I'm at least applying for the jobs so I can keep my options open.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Raise and leave time are a very good thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

That all sounds really good, askye.
