Wow and it just keeps getting better. I only glance and see more threads to close up than to read.Eyup. That's about par for the course these days.
Long time no see CJ.
What he said.
Save for "That's life sometimes" replacing "That's about par for the course these days."
I'm more of a "that's life all of the time" myself.
But then, I'm a pessimist.
I can't have nice things because I have a Charlie.
What did he do? (beside stealing your cloths)
Finished voting for a superstar...
Wait what? It's five o'clock? Again? Argh! I am going to sleep before sun rises...
Happy belated birthday Treppa!
+1 hope you feel betters Shiny!
(And don't feel bad, we allmake "ID-10-T" errors sometimes) :)
And yes, Children make it almost impossible to have nice things.
They so however, make up for it later, by allowing us to continue to buy toys under the guise of giving them to the children, when we all know they are really for us! :)
Annnnnd goodnight FaWtL-ies!
Blargh, voting, yes need to do that.
Tomorrow. Lunch break. Will do it then.
Going to bed. Gnight all.
Annnnd I'm finally done putting together my Sandpoint Townsfolk Paper Minis. This town really need more than one shop selling stationary and paperglue and stuff.Pictures?
:-)
Once I've gotten the kitchen table presentable.

Lots to do today. Finish my first cup of coffee. Make and consume a second cup of coffee. Cut my hair. Shower and shave. Clean up the guest room. Clean up the rest of the house (up to and including the stove). Go to Popeyes for lunch. Go to the comic book store. Return home and clean some more. Go to the store and get a new air filter and some 40W bulbs for the bathroom. Install the aforementioned air filter. Install the aforementioned lightbulbs. Pick up the kid from daycare. Dinner.
Something is not right. I have taken two cups of coffee, and I'm still tired.
It's probably something put in your coffee by the Men in Black to make you more compliant when the aliens come to probe you.
Today I dreamed of escaping out of some sort of large skyscraper while fighting the residents civilians and finally undercover police.
During the dream I might have switched point of view from one of the bad guys to the big bad evil guy some time before the final scenes. Which were cut away by me waking-up, as usual.
That's a pretty badass dream.

That does sound like an awesome dream,...
It also sounds like you fell asleep watching the same 'Die Hard #X' movie that I did! :)

LOL. I
Not much. Been a really quiet day.
I'm almost disgusted at how many more openings I've been able to apply for since adding that second field.
How is it half the social studies jobs require coaching and none of the English do?

Social studies and coaching don't always mix. My worst teacher-coach was social studies. My best teacher-coach was math.
I just don't get it.
Heck, I've subbed for a French teacher that coached.
hi everyone
sup
Ayup. I just don't get why it has to be social studies that requires coaching when I've known teachers in just about every other subject who can manage it just fine.

Yeah, that's always been perplexing to me. Coming up through school, all but one of the coaches I had were history or social studies teachers. The one odd man out was the school psychologist, who was the throwing coach for the track and field team.
I had a pretty even split between social studies/history and math at my school, with a few odd outliers like one English teacher, one Art teacher, and a couple Sciences.
A few of my social studies teachers were...but the head football coach was an English teacher, about five of the science teachers and three of the math teachers coached. Pretty much all of the PE teachers did as well. Really, what my school taught me was that science was the go-to coaching mine.
This may explain why our teams sucked.
Heh,
One of my coach/teachers was hired to be the English teacher.
I'm,... not sure he actually had a degree in English.
;P
(Although to be fair, I heard he was a good coach)
You don't necessarily need a degree in a specific subject. I don't have an English degree, but I passed the content knowledge test for it.
Granted, everyone thought I was an English major right up to graduation when the guy on my left leaned over afterwards and asked "Were they supposed to say history?"

Soooo...only things not done yet are:
Clean the stove - actually think I'll hold off on this until tomorrow or Wednesday.
Pick up the kid from daycare and dinner - not yet.
Also, added something - I installed a door chain on the door leading down to the basement. Normally, we keep it locked, but since Charlie is learning how to unlock the doors, I figure the chain is the best way to keep him out.

My highschool had numerous coaches in teaching positions: math, typing, English, history, civics, etc.
The head football coach taught us honors chemistry - dude was seriously smart.
My civics teacher (wrestling coach) was also extremely smart - he would regularly ply the entire class in Trivial Pursuit. Throughout and entire school year I think he missed one question.

Time to start preparing stuff for dinner.
The menu tonight is:
pork medallions with mushroom sauce
creamed onions
colcannon
and whatever I come up with to prepare any leftover cabbage
Interesting.. Did not know there were so many intelligent coaches. My school had no teams to speak of, we were all there for academics. Gym classes were electives that we neededtto graduate, but that was about it.

I have only watched I, II and III, haven't seen IV and V.
Did you go to a private school FH? Because compared to every single school I've ever interacted with, either as a student, visitor, guest for a (insert sport, elective, or other subject) competition, or friend of one of the above, that is immensely bizarre. I've never before heard of a school that did not have some kind of sports team as a major focus of a lot of the school's activity. But I've only done so with or with students of public schools, never with any kind of private or charter school, so I don't know what those kinds of places would have considered standard.
I'd have killed to have a school like that myself. I had to trudge unhappily through the first two years of junior high with a PE coach who explicitly told us "You're in PE because you're either too stupid or too chicken to be in athletics" before I managed to slip into an extracurricular that put me in the library my 8th grade year instead, and then in high school participating in marching band was treated as a half-year credit towards physical education requirements for graduation, so four years of that got me out of having to take any further PE classes period.
Yeah, everywhere I've been, athletics sideline everything else. Still miffed that we had to cancel one of our play performances because our abysmal football team made state. And then were surprised they lost.

Heh. Same thing happened when I was in high school, and again after I had graduated and was working as a volunteer with the school's drama club.
At my high school, football, basketball, and women's soccer were so important that they overshadowed the other sports. Cross-country, track, golf, softball, and even baseball got pushed to the sidelines. Not to mention the school's one art class and two music classes.
Football in the fall, baseball in the spring.
Everything else could take a flying leap as far as the school seemed to be concerned.

Nope. Edward R. Murrow is a public school and we had no sports teams other than our Gymrats/Gymmice for gymnastics. We were(and still are!)renown for our stage performances. All gym classes were electives after a while. I took martial arts(tae kwon do), badminton, and at least one other gym that I can't remmeber right now. You could also do walk/jog/run at our track, or do actual track. We had bowling for gym, too. I think you could also do Automotive in place of gym, but that was HELLA expensive, even then. There was also swimming, although we didn't have a team. I can't recall any others...

My high school was private - one of the many private, Catholic schools in New Orleans. Holy Cross High School.
Sadly, the original campus where I was student for 8 years (5th grade - 12th), was pretty much rendered unusable by Hurricane Katrina.
Happily, the school's foundation had enough money to buy a new campus and fix it up.
