Good evening, I hope all is well with you all. Here, at 6:50 pm, the skies are rumbling and a threat of another storm is on the horizon. How about the Hodgepodge?
**please excuse any typos, I am very tired.
1. What's something you wanted to do this summer that you never got around to doing? More beach time, of course. LOL
2. Were you the student who sat in the front row or hid in the back of the class? I preferred to sit in the back when I was younger, then when I went back to school at 50, I sat in the front. If you could go back and take one high school class again just for fun, which would it be? I really should of have paid attention to shorthand, so, yeah, that.
3. What characteristics do you think are essential in a good teacher (this can be applied to anyone who teaches, not just classroom teachers)? Funny...because I had to bring my boss in this morning and he spent an hour and half defending me and laying the law down aka "come to Jesus" moment and he had an inmate hauled out of there in cuffs and thrown in confinement...I thought for sure he was going to blow a blood vessel, sigh. The level of disrespect some of these women have, is just unreal, hence, why I called him in to have one of his famous talks. And now, he knows what we teachers go through every single day. We work in a very dangerous, uninviting and hostile environment.
Anyways, a teacher should have honesty, courage, kindness and patience of Job. Which we all know patience is not one of my virtues. ANYWAYS, teaching and working in a prison takes a special person...that is all I will say...and probably a bit of cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Which I will own up too.
4. September 2nd is National Grits Day. Have you ever eaten grits? Yes, Are you a fan? Yes, if so, how do you like yours? I love me some cheesy grits. I am allergic to shrimp, so no shrimp. Would people describe you as 'having grit'? Yeahhhh...well, my late fil used to say I had gold kahunas...yeah, we will leave that one alone. LOL
5. What's something you're never too old or too young to enjoy? a good glass of cold chocolate milk.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I have made it to my 5-days off...Sigh, it looks to be a rainy day tomorrow so the beach might have to wait until Friday. I will make it there before Monday. That is for sure. have a great evening all.
Which ever day you make it to the beach, have some fun and don't forget the sunscreen!! This was an interesting Hodgepodge!! Glad your boss has your back! Rest and enjoy the extra time off, Linda!! Cheers! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you have to deal with people like that. It's why they are in the position they're in though.
ReplyDeleteI've never had grits - really need to try them.
Guess what - we're in the middle of a heat wave and they said it's hotter here than in Florida. I'm not tough enough for this.
Enjoy the days off!
First, I am glad your boss had your back and dealt with the disrespect of one of the inmates. Next, enjoy your time off, Linda. I hope you are able to get to the beach and let the salty air wash away your worries. I am not a fan of grits (it is a texture thing) and you are more than welcome to them. Have a relaxing and peaceful long weekend.
