2 I'm struck dumb.
3 Absolute brilliance. Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.
4 It's on as I write.
5 Amazing. Even with FXM annoying commercials.
6 Amazing.
7 More later.
8 Moving On, Part One: I worked SO hard last week that my neck felt it would fall off if I yawned too hard yesterday morning.
9 The reward for all of that was going in confident right after a mini-vacay.
10 I KNEW I outdistanced everyone.
11 There's something about going back into the game completely prepared that can't be beat.
12 I listened to the Lovin' Spoonful all the way to work.
13
"...and even if time is passin' me by a lot
I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got
Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for droppin' my load
A pie in the face for being a sleepy bulldog..."
13 Here's a fun one: the song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. Who knew?
14 When John Sebastian whistled I whistled along.
15 I got to school with immense hubris.
16 I knew I outplayed everybody and everything.
17 I got outta my car, stretched my legs, cranked my neck the way you do when you feelin' GOOD, and smiled.
18 I popped my trunk, swaggered over and took my stuff out like a super hero: it all hit the ground without a sound.
19 Oh, I was good. I put my stuff on a the dolly I keep in my trunk.
20 Then I reached into my pocket for my room keys.
21
22 ...for my room keys...
23 <basketball buzzer>
24 B-b-but I got here early.
25 B-b-but I came TOTES prepared.
26 B-b-but...
27
28 I had two laptops strapped to me, like a spy.
30 I tightened my laptops, dropped my stuff off and dashed downstairs to find a golf cart. Golf cart = custodian who could let me in without it being announced globally.
31 I glanced around and saw a cart right outside the school bank. Perfect, since it is just at the bottom of our stairs and over some.
32 On my way, an Angry Bird teacher stopped me and said, "I need to TALK to you!" I looked up, gave a quick stank eye and slipped under the radar into the Health office. Sometimes boy, it's a slippery slope. Go bother someone else; I got a saloon to run.
35 He dropped everything he was doing and said, "Let's go. You ain't the only teacher who messed up today!" I laughed and opened the door swiftly.
36 As the door swung open a kid who was running really fast almost got slammed.
37 That was my first three minutes yesterday morning.
38 I got to my room, had to take time to get all the laptops, doo-dads and handouts ready.
39 I deserved it.
40 I really thought I had everyone beat yesterday.
41 I still sort of did, but realized that no matter how much planning you do, it is always a slippery slope.
42 Humility is a rare thing, and a good dose clears the sinuses.
43 Rough day, as well as a day where a hundred more issues fell like the last leaves of Autumn.
44 I worked last night 'til up in the 10 p.m.'s but did have Shakespeare in Love to even it all out...
45 The show must...
46
48 Fun day tho.
49 Tho.
50 Anybody lookin'?
51 Gottago.
52 See you again.
53 Peace.
~H~
