Random Thoughts XI (Eleven Pipers Piping)

[BCClone]

Getting warmed up here for showtime in a couple. RTT advice is, wear Ed Hardy shirt ( note, need to buy one); don't drink a case AND a fifth before broadcast (can probably sneak some crown in a 2 liter bottle, so that be best); no talking about colon excrement; no statements about how hot women are unless I see carvers ( may need to ask for photo since I have no idea what she looks like); be semi coherent.

Anything else?

Btw, if you want to see why you can ramble on air, cup your hands over your ears and talk. You will notice you start listening to yourself and it's messes you up. You learn to not listen to yourself.

You don't need a photo, I'm sort of a cross between JLaw and Betty White.

Crap, 2 people that I don't find overly attractive, sorry Carvers, I probably won't make lewd comments about you then.

Got a text from a woman (a couples friend) about a concert coming up. Her and I have more similar tastes in music than her and my wife so she sees if I'm interested because the wife won't go if I have no interest. A hair band, not a real popular one so I don't know. But it is a hair band and for some reason I do have a little thing for big hair. Probably takes me back when I see it.

I'm trying to picture this...

You don't have 5 o'clock shadow do you?

Well, facilities improvement thread turned into a lutefisk thread.

Yeah, 30 minutes is my commute. Luckily the reverse commute against traffic was much less this morning.

Hubby's commute went from 45min each way on a good day to however long it takes him to walk downstairs. So far the adjustment hasn't been too bad considering I have been at home the last fourteen and a half years. Could get more interesting when all four kids are home on a work day.

Hey @BoxsterCy i convinced a co-worker to go out on dates with you whenever you come to Costa Rica if you financially back our ATV tour business we want to start.

I’ve pretty much talked her into hand stuff for you, but you can probably sweet talk her for more.

if anybody is waiting for the great CF sexual harassment scandal, I know who our Matt Lauer is!

Well that went way different. Showed up and they were training a new guy, very business like. Kinda dry, but we started hitting it off. Got the feeling he thought I was on his territory. If I have one great skill, it's reading people in split seconds and within minutes calming them and finding common ground. Finally got him joking a little and getting some banter going. Turned into a solid duo for the home team. Think Fraser crane and cliff craven. One who is very knowledgeable and detailed, and one who is hitting you with some nuggets, (and knows the kids by site so we are saying the right kids)

Better to be Lauer than Weinstein.

I've been wanting to get this off my chest but didn't know where to put it.

I teach high schoolers in Des Moines, that's all I'll say about where I work.

Today, two of the students I would least expect to step up, stepped up huge.

First period today (Thursday the 30th), I had a student tell me she was feeling ill and needed to go to the nurse. I had a bad feeling as she looked really green, but felt she was ok to go to the nurse. My intuition was dead wrong. I can't see my classroom door from where I sit. I had just pushed play on a short video we were watching. The young lady who had just asked to go to the nurse had fainted, fallen into the metal molding of the windows of my classroom which look into the hallway, and was on her way down to the ground. I have no idea how I was able to, but I managed to get out of my seat, catch her, and guide her down to the ground before smashing her head into a concrete pillar which was almost directly behind where she would have fallen.

Almost immediately, two students sprung into action. One student was almost out the door to the nurse's office before I could ask him to head down there to get her. The other student ran to the restroom to get a cold, wet, paper towel for head.

I've never had anything like this happen in my classroom. I've had fights. I've had ***holes , I've never had a "medical emergency". The two students who sprung into action are students I would not consider "high achievers" academically. However, their actions today have completely changed my views of them. It's probably not the most academic thing to do, but they will both be getting A's in my class for their actions (neither was failing and both were in B range).

Given the right circumstances, kids can be pretty amazing. Was the girl okay?

After last night, I think I'm retiring. I won so many walmart gift cards that I'm set for life.

Missed my second FXB class in eight weeks this morning. Not terrible but I still feel guilty for over sleeping especially since eating has been up and down the last couple of weeks. Just need to buckle down the next two!

I believe our advice was exactly the opposite of that except that you should wear an Ed Hardy shirt.

Doesn't sound like this one will end up a threesome like with that other friend of your wife.

I hate it when I miss a good thread derailment.

That's a great job by those kids and you. I really do believe that most people really do want to do what is right when it comes right down to it.
