I need to keep track of how often we fight over something ridiculous because someone has low blood sugar.

Today was a pretty epic fight, there was a power outage, not a k.o. though.
I applaud myself for not striking him or breaking anything.

Better, so much better. Found out making my own slides is entirely too much work. Making notes and using Gabby (TA) to write them is the way to go.

I'm not going to lie, I regret my decision to some degree because of the amount of work for little pay. I remind myself it's worth it for the discount.

I'm drinking Sangria because it needs drinking, not because I need to.

Dudes and Dudettes,

It has been far too long. I am remiss. I even meant to start writing again to continue on with the BSOM saga that is my hate/begrudgingly-put-up-with-shit-to-get-what-I-want relationship with the Steiner Education Group, here after referred to as SEG. I'll tag BSOM and SEG to deliniate between student and teachingness.

TONIGHT AND TONIGHT ONLY!
Not really, I'll be teaching for a minimum of 2 years. Tonight was a challenge and my first night as Oh-ficial teacher. I arrived early because I needed to know how to use the slides available on the AV equipment. Getting tired so I'll bullet and fill in later :)

Faculty
S.M. shitty re: which class I had. So the Dean of Education berated me asking which class I was with. I arrived at school early to take care of things and verify which class. She says in front of the staff in the teacher's lounge, I might have to send you home, come to my office. She then verifies which class and sends me on my way.

BULLSHIT, It pissed me off enough that I email her direct, I don't CC anyone because this gives her a chance to be a cunt or just a bold faced bitch. I ask her if in the future she feels the need to discipline me, to not do so in front of the staff. She says, she's very sarcastic, didn't mean for it to be taken that way and as I get to know her I'll figure that out.
Riiiiiiight, not my first time at this rodeo.


TA no show - My TA was another instructor that I'm sure was thrown off by the Wed/Fri schedule because of President's day. It's normally m/w, no harm no foul and honestly I feel like I did better with no one there to "watch me".

Beg for help - I beg the other teachers for help in locating the slides needed for this class. They also give me their version of a manual - a student verison with extensive notes.

Check ins on breaks - The other teachers did stop in on breaks to make sure I was ok and no one set the school on fire.

Students
Crack heads talking to themselves - JFC, these two women are so fried they talk to themselves entirely too much and can barely pay attention, do not follow along at all. After the second class that I've had with them at this point I'm making them sit on the outsides, closest to the board and where I can immediately go over and point to where we are at. They hold up the class and the class yells at them. NO SHANKING, unless it's me shanking someone.

Poop-boy - guy from another class I TA-ed has irritable bowel and a host of other body problems. Had to leave early, I can only imagine...

Hung up on Mblex - There will always be one (or more) student(s) hung up on the big test required for being a massage therapist. Has to know will blah be on this test. Will it be phrased in this way. OMFG - just get this in your head first.

Adimit about proxial/distal inferior/supeior - Same student hung up on bug test NEEDS TO KNOW which one of these directions will be on the test OR THEIR LIFE IS OVERRRRRRRRRR. They are really interchangeable except that proximal and distal do not change when the limb is moved.

Liked me but who knows if they learned anything - They did well on the quiz and as of Mon said that anyone else trying to explain things to them confuses them. Go me? Fuck my life?

Sum up
WINGED IT LIKE A PRO!
1 student took the quiz early and passed flying colors. Got a half point wrong.
Everyone is aware HW and quiz on Friday
Handed in paperwork/timesheets
Chased out of building by MOD, did not complete grading or grade HW handed in.
Left my boots at work - True and my country music band name.

I can't stand being in the room with Jon when he's on the phone and angry. I guess I'm just too sensitive, I get the heebie jeebies and a strong desire to flee. So I put his flip flops on him and put him outside to pace around. Although, it sounds like he's telling his life story now and happy to have someone to listen. I'm sorry USAA for having a lonely cheapskate call.

Update and stuff!

So much to update!

I’m not going any place. Why?

Cause you have all the paperwork for a passport. Are you fleeing the country?

No, I just decided to get it because the Canadians asked if I would come to their convention in Canadia and I needed a passport. Plus I always wanted one and my Blue Feathers all say that once I have one it’ll open the door to all kinds of travel.

I’m so easy to manipulate sometimes.
Sometimes I need the gentle shove in the right direction.
I’m always open to suggestion. :D

Oh! The Places You’ll Go!
by the incomparable Dr. Seuss

Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!

You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.

You’ll look up and down streets. Look’em over with care. About some you will say, “I don’t choose to go there.” With your head full of brains and your shoes full of feet, you’re too smart to go down a not-so-good street.

Sorry, no can do.

The way I interpreted this question is. This person has the exact OPPOSITE taste in music as I have. I consider myself to have very eclectic tastes, I really do listen to quite a lot. So, with that said.

NO 'effin WAY.

It's bad enough I once had a manager that tried to drive me crazy with the hairspray soundtrack. I couldn't imagine the rest of my life with a person that I can't take.

Learn how to fly.

Edit More info for you.

Way back in the day when I was in the Civil Air Patrol (Auxillary of the United States Air Force). Part of our education was Aerospace. Now you all know numbers and Amy don't mix. But my contempt for my married-in-cousin [a fuck up at life] was so deep (another cadet at the time that the male senoir member [read leader/mentor] paid more attention too), competitive-young-mind-so-strong and with some impressive will power - I understood these concepts AND could teach them to other cadets.

So, only having been on one (trying to think of what we called them) ... ... Orientation flight. (sounds right, come to think of it possibly two) The little puff of wind that could have been gods' breath pushed that tiny plane up into the air. I was hooked. If it wasn't for all the window dressing security pain-in-the-ass measures, I WOULD fly more. But there was also something about CONTROLING that plane that made it all the more awesome.

I'd like to think that I would have a biplane and would have to wear googles. I've been to a lot of airshows and would love to barnstorm.
* sigh *

But for srs, I can do it at Martin State Airport through CCBC. I only wish I knew if 2012 was going to happen. I would take out all the student loans I could muster and learn how to fly.
