But I thought the saying was " if you cant do, teach"
I also hate the texting in class, its pretty fraking rude.
It usually happens when I turn off the alarm clock without waking up.
Unless these are huge lecture classes you’re talking about. They’re huge lecture classes, aren’t they?
3 of my classes are huge lectures, 3 are regular size classes
Just a few minutes until the film finishes rewinding, and then I’m out of the Omnimax for good. 
Yeah, that saying was first put out there by someone who couldn’t teach OR do. Teaching is about passing down knowledge that would otherwise be lost. It’s a responsibility. As Yoda put it: “pass on what you have learned.”
Have I mentioned how much I hate that saying? (And I ain’t much of a fan of teaching these days either, but still…)

You’re so irresponsible! How dare you? 
I used to be so bad at that. During my master’s I was incredibly guilty of this, and I had no large classes. One of my class professors was also my private composition teacher and he kept calling me on that, particularly when I asked if I could be his T.A. (“Would you get up for class if you were my TA?” he asked. Needless to say, I was not his TA the following year.)
By now you’re out. Congratulations! This will be a day long remembered…
Oh…so a P.E. teacher?
I miss school…sigh… 
Had a fender-bender, with no damage on either car.
wiping my brow in relief
(does that qualify as “cool crap I’ve done” ?
Yes… although it does add you to the list of suspected sorcerers… We’re watching…
mwaaaaaahaaahahahaa!!! :d
So a few years ago, one of my pastors (a great guy, generally speaking) uttered that one in a sermon. At which point, one of the young women of the church (you know, one of those great people without whom nothing would get done) who, if I remember correctly, was a middle school teacher, objected. It was a while ago, so all I really remember is the massively embarrassed, “I just stuck both feet all the way in my mouth” look on his face.
heh heh
That reminds me of the time my pastor (this is way back when I still went to church) used the phrase “shot my wad” in a sermon. I asked him, afterwards, whether he knew what that phrase meant and he turned about seven shades of purple.
That phrase, I learned recently, can also be applied to weapons. Was he talking about guns or hunting? d:
I found out today I am a Pomeranian. Really. My great-grandmother was born in a village called Jasenitz in Kreis (county) Randow in the Pomeranian region of Germany. It is now part of the city Police in Poland.
Amazing what you can find out with the internet at your fingers!
Well, that certainly explains your yappiness!
I kid, because I love. 
Today, I withdrew from that job that both my wife and I had applied to. I did a lot of thinking over the weekend and got advice from a number of people who agreed that this job seems more up her alley. So I called the HR person at this company this morning, had a nice friendly chat, sold her on my wife, I hope, and went on my way.
So now, this is where you all come in: Thursday, 4:00 p.m. we need EXTRA special karmic good thoughts out for Mrs. Armando. She REALLY hates her current job. It is mindless, keeps her out of the house for 12 hours and it has no potential for advancement. This one is actually in her field (also music), has potential for some cool development (it’s in publishing) and is nearby (she could drive there and back in less than 20 minutes). And we could use the employer provided health coverage.
Seriously, she so deserves this and the last several job interviews have not gone her way. So, I know I’m a cynic about this stuff, but good thoughts are greatly appreciated.
I’m not yappy! pout

Absolutely! All my positive vibes are hers Thursday at 4!
Good thoughts, good karma, good thought sending. I am starting early, but that can’t hurt. Good luck Mrs.
I’ll probably forget by then, but good luck to her!
I listened to a bunch of Armando’s music today. Sadly it has nothing on the likes of musical geniuses like Flo Rida…
I thought Ludi was great, but I have to admit contemporary music really isn’t my cup of tea:o
That’s a good, straight-up solution
Will do, though it’ll tend to be in random spurts between now and then.
Well, I’m no Lady Gaga, but…thanks.
(Hey, I thought you liked “Calm Down, Ringo!” too.)
(BTW, who the heck is “Flo Rida?”)
And thanks for the good vibes to Mrs. Armando. I think she really deserves this job. Not because we’ll come out ahead financially or anything like that but because she doesn’t deserve to be as miserable as her current job makes her feel.
