1. Celebrated Johnny Appleseed's birthday with a kindergarteners by making cooking pot hats and real single serve apple pies that were delicious.
2. Bit my tongue when a colleague lied about rigging a 2nd grade class president election
3. Discussed the merits of the free crayons that accompany kid's meals at Red Robin with a 2nd Grader (our consensus was they are vastly inferior to Crayola)
4. Helped a young girl write a paper about the superiority of cows over chickens
5. Ate a cold roast beef sandwich while reading the op-ed page
6. laminated nothing
7. Left right on time
Tom,
ReplyDeleteWhat I did today:
Helped teach an ataxic 3 year old how to "Wipe".
Made policemen badges out of tin foil.
Laminated MANY things.
Sat in the classroom with a 4 year old until he stopped saying poop and pee so he could go outside on the playground.
Stood outside for 35 minutes doing nothing during a fire drill (the best invention ever).
I think you are more than normally smitten with Red Robin.
Terri
Today at work I:
ReplyDelete1. Made a fist and put it up to the fist of the doorman in a tophat in front of the luxury apts on Charles St.
2. Made a fist and put it up to the fist (behind a metal grate)of a 22 year old inmate and said, "Told you I'd come to see you, bro", all after telling him about how beautiful Colorado was, how I went hiking, how my vacation was too short, etc., all after he asked how my vacation went.
3. Felt glad I was sitting behind bars when I told my other 22 year old guy that "I think I have to respectfully disagree with you on that one" when he told me he controls his anger well.
4. Wondered if Shannon M------ was single and cute after I got off the phone with her, looked her up on MySpace and found out she was "In a Relationship", and was further disturbed that someone who sounded so sweet and flirtatious finds herself in love with the word "miasma" and likes bands like Incubus and NIN.
5. Plotted how to walk away like Tom did and not have it hurt financially.
6. Wondered at how I could obsess so much about one job and one person.
Today at work I:
ReplyDelete1. Sat in the booth of an X-Ray machine and inspected a steady stream of Pokemon toy packages for a recalled figure who may or may not be the "secret" one in the opaque bubble.
2. sat in my car at midnight and ate a pastrami sandwich while listening to Art Bell on AM 680.
3. At sunset, drove by the headquarters of the pharmaceutical giant GlaxoSmithKline and thought what an evil-looking yet beautiful building they're in.
4. Observed big sausages being given to each day shift temp worker as they left for the day. There are over 100 temps.
Umm...sausage. I will have to add summer sausage as a tag.
ReplyDeleteKev,
ReplyDeleteRemember, when you walk away make sure it's when you have a near sure thing coming down the pike. I didn't just quit without another hope.
Terri-The kid brought up Red Robin. He pointe dout the crayons I gave him were the same kind they had at Red Robin. I did not bring this up. I only go there because I get gift certificates all the time. I'd much rather eat at Golden Corral or Steak and Shake.
