Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

[madguy30]

My parents were teachers and sometimes used their preps to catch their breath just like other professions have breaks, one prep to prep for potentially 6 different classes doesn't really suffice so they ended up prepping at home where it was comfortable and quiet. Prep periods are kind of a joke at this point.

Yeah if it's grading or something similar depending on the person, that often is done better in bulk/after school or whenever with lots of folks.

The prep often is maybe cleaning up or taking care of behavior stuff, getting materials organized, touching base/meeting quickly with other staff about what's working/not working, etc. Maybe writing a parent back to explain again that whatever the expectations are at home, being in class is expected while at school.

That's all a part of the teaching world but it's not like a teacher's just going to sit down and grade 40 tests on a whim with another group coming in soon.

Sat by @SaraV on Saturday (well my wife did initially) and she didn't even acknowledge me for nearly half the game. She gone big time on us.

Was at a friend's yesterday afternoon for a grill out. He lives on a quiet street in CR, lots and lots of trees around him. He found this yesterday. About 20 feet up. Not quite the size of a basketball, but close.

You just reminded me - we decided to go on the roadtrip, and have a son & DIL living in KC that want to catch the local bus that was mentioned. Who do I need to reach out to? Jay C? Or is there someone else running that event?

If they haven't been a bother, leave it until winter when it will freeze. It makes a cool "show & tell" item for the littles.

He got stung by one yesterday while mowing, but hadn't even noticed it until then. He plans on leaving it for now.

We had one down by the creek on our acreage - we didn't even know it was there until the leaves fell. We have cedar siding - we finally found a treatment that keeps them off and away from the house. Don't ask me what it is...our bug guy applies it.

Why the hell did you spray water at them? Let alone wearing a thong swimsuit when you did it?

Okay Todd, while I dislike the 25 daily texts (I haven't counted but think it is probably in this ballpark) from these political people. I do see you are now getting me texts from some fairly attractive women. I'm starting to like how this is going. I'm willing to give you a little leash now.

I love it when someone sends me a message and I respond within a minute wanting clarification and they ignore me. I just want to verify he is asking me about something that has absolutely nothing to do with my job

So 2 friends going to a Brewers game together, where she asked if I wanted to go Saturday, and I said yes, and she swapped a couple of her season tickets for Saturday's game would be considered a date right?

You bet, but best to ask her out after the game. Better to know than to end up in the friend zone, unless you just want the friend zone.
