Just don't forget that you can't drink beer while teaching.

I've never cared for Vodka/Tequila/Rum etc straight up. I can't imagine having that in a water bottle while at work.

Now, water... that sh*ts good at work.

I need coffee to do the science stuff.



Good money always helps; even better is lots of vacation time. Summer break is just around the corner eh?

Best of both worlds. Serious dehydration with that though, will have to bring along the water bottle to keep me going.

Downward spiral of infant parenting:

No sleep means you're tired, so you drink coffee.
Coffee dehydrates you so you drink water.
Water fills you up so there's less room for food.
Not enough food makes you tired, so you drink coffee...

All that and you have to pee a lot.

Hmm, yeah i dunno about that then; kinda need the caffeine to keep the thinker going. They don't like those combo drinks (caffeine+alcohol) over here anyway IIRC.

I'm getting better at it. Got my egg breakfast sandwich thingy, yogurt for the morning. Coffee is always black, so no sugar-loading there. Did feel a bit of a difference, was nice.

Biggest help though was getting the youngest out of our room. Waking up at 7am instead of 5am works miracles. It had been almost 2 years since I'd had an uninterrupted night sleep.

They're 7th graders, so 13-14-year-olds. And they hate science, which makes for a challenging work environment. I'm teaching them physics and chemistry - currently the subjects are our senses, working primarily with hearing and sight. After that, it's water and air, which is more chemistry (and allows for more experiments with fire and sh*t, which is what the kids want).

I've taken over from a teacher who was old school boring, so the kids don't have lots of expectations. It's their first year of physics and chemistry, but they still haven't had a basic introduction to the subject, so I'll probably have to do that first. My fellow science teachers are all 50+, so good times. They gave me a book and told me to just teach from it. Never done that before; I usually made up the material as I went.

It'll be some interesting months, especially now that I'm starting on my bachelor project as well. Who needs sleep, anyway?

I'm a marketing specialist, so I'll be revamping their website and marketing their social media accounts (among other things).

In other news, I got rear-ended on the parkway on my way to work this morning. That was fun. Great start my second day...

Fortunately, not bad. It was just a massive inconvenience. Took forty minutes before I was finally able to get on the road, and spilled my coffee everywhere when it happened. Terrible headache from stress and caffeine withdrawals by the time I actually arrived at the office. Was only 20 minutes late though, because traffic was lighter by the time I hit the worst parts.

Accidental double posts are like a free +1 that don't annoy the admins.

For physics, just describe everything in Looney Tunes terms. Like Wile E. Coyote dropping anvils and sh*t.

Bonus points for actually having artistic talent to draw a rough approximation of Wile E. Coyote (or making a magnet version that you can stick on the blackboard) plus a Road Runner and ACME anvil.

My high school physics teacher had us build catapults and trebuchets. Best class I've ever taken, as we made a trebuchet that could launch a watermelon something like 1000 yards (one side of campus to the other). It had to be assembled and to get it to school we had to use a friend's pickup truck.

Needless to say, we got an A.

you shut your whore mouth

edit: i spent a few hours getting cygwin going on our beta server so ./config and make would work. shit is so useful. grep and curl are fun to boot. plus shell scripts are way more awesomer than batch files.

as a side note NEVER USES SPACES IN FILE / FOLDER NAMES. ever time you do it god kills 4 puppies, 3 babies, 2 kittens, and a unicorn.

brb making a ton of files with nothing but spaces for names.

Woah! Rear-ended? I've got a doctor I want you to go to, and he will send you to a physical therapist. You don't have to stay for the therapy, but you have to stop by and sign in three times a week. You will also need to wear a soft cervical collar for the deposition and use a cane. I'll get you 5 to 6 k for your troubles, just sign right here on the dotted line.

I'm sure you've seen my commercials on television - Torts-R-Us? That's right, my partners and I have 257 years of trial experience between us. Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe. (all figures presented are approximations and should not be taken as accurate reflections of the truth)

You heard of the McDonald's case? No, that wasn't ours, we had the Tony's Bar-b-cue Chicken case - our client suffered severe third degree stains on her clothing due to the negligence of Tony in failing to properly secure his barbecued chicken in a proper size napkin, and in failing to post proper warnings. We settled that one out of court and I am constrained by the terms of the settlement to not disclose the amount. Suffice to say, my client was very satisfied. (certain "facts" have been embellished in order to fit the story within the constraints of this medium)



It sounds like you weren't hurt, so that's good. It's still a pain having to get the car repaired and do the insurance company thing. Make sure you report it to your insurance company if you haven't already done so. Even if the other guy offers to repair and not report the accident, make sure you always report it. I've seen a lot of people get hurt by that when the other guy then later decides to change his mind.

What do you not have a picture for?

lol - Pope Johnny 5. <3 it!

In the meantime you can make fun of his lower karma. Not as effective, but it can take some of the sting out.

Or, uh... so I've heard.

Takes so much effort to raise that.

So much delicious .

So much effort he says, you're almost as bad as I am.

Well I can't do anything about your title here, but I did this for you:

I have a Wowhead account? Huh.

Thanks, though! I feel unique now.

Well it's been awhile since you've used the account, but yes it's yours. I can see it's linked to your ZAM and Torhead accounts.

We've all got Zam accounts, which translate into Wowhead and Torhead accounts too, ever since they all became one big network.
