She Mumbles Under Her Breath
The Tag teacher hates me, Tag meaning gifted and talented. He probably is just intimidated a little by my awesome. That's understandable, I do that to a lot of people who like to be the center of attention 24 hours a day, and he does.
I remember the first bad taste I left in his mouth. (Get your head out of the gutter.) He said something in reference to a movie like, "Is it the wide-screen or theatrical version?" to which I replied, "It's 'director's version' or 'theatrical version'." When he visibly scowled, I said aloud, "Note to self, N.D. does not like to be corrected." He ignored this comment.
Now I have all out pissed him off simply because I confronted him about keeping my tag kids 5-10 minutes past the allotted hour. "But 5-10 minutes isn't that much time," you say, but for good teachers it's an eon as we value every minute of our class time.
I like my colleagues very much, but there are only a couple of them that I think are "off the hook" cool. One is the media specialist who, if I were writing a children's book with a "librarian" she would be the epitome. She's just fab. The other is another 5th grade teacher that all the other teachers think is a bitch. When I heard this, I thought obviously she must be awesome. I was right. Not to mention, she's 51 and watches [adultswim]. How cool is that?
The awesomely bitchy (and nicest ever) 5th grade teacher and I went for sandwiches after school the other night. Here's how I know the Tag teacher hates me.
other teacher: You know I love your personality. You're sarcastic and witty in the very best way. You can be sitting in a room and everyone else is talking and you'll throw in those little jabs that make us laugh. Having pre-referenced what I'm going to say with that, let me tell you what N.D. said the other day.
me: okay.
other teacher: "She mumbles under her breath. I just don't like her because she mumbles under her breath."
me: what??
other teacher: [laughs] Yep, that's what he said. I said, "You can't think of anything else wrong with the girl, so you come up with, 'She mumbles under her breath'?"
me: Yeah, I think that's a stretch.
What a retard. Besides, how gifted can you be when you have your acronym ass backwards?

What the hell is that?
We had Idea Communication Time at one. They were called "KIT meetings" in memos, which is both the wrong order, and the wrong letter.
And even worse was the fact that nobody understood when I started transposing and spelling my initials wrong....
He sounds like a guy i'd like to poke, (and out of the gutter again) mentally..
I am bit of a diva myself sometimes and like attention (being Leo and all..), but I really hate it when someone has to make big *f-word* fuss out of themselves.
I just love those little remarks or jabs, I'm guilty of doing that too. I think people shouldn't take themselves or anything too seriously. Sure, things should get done properly, but one can have fun while doing it, eh?
tommy- it's actually a great program, an hour is just quite long enough when it starts to impede upon my classtime.
yes, i'd be concerned about the reversal of initials ;)
dob- i actually like some things about the guy, like his smarts. smart people are always fun, except, of course, as in this case, they are an ass.
i also never like when people don't like me. it happens so rarely. :)
can i link you blog?
absolutely. i loved your blog sklee. i'll do the same.
Huh, usually if someone doesn't like me, I have caused it myself and propably deserve it.
But if it's from the first sec, I think there's something wrong, big way, in that person or they are just pure evil.
Dear Grandpoo...
This is for you :
Awesome
Oh my frog, that is so funny, and...awesome! :) What a super fun site. Thanks for putting a huge smile on my face.
That was great! :D
I still dont get the TAG thing...but im naturally slow so thts ok.
Your pic is really pretty though
Gat is so much cooler than tag. NWA would never rap about TAGS yo.
trish, thanks! :)
calzone- u back man?
veg- you are funny. in fact, you were in my dream just last night. i thought i'd take up my posting space to tell ya about it instead of yours. I was talking to this lady who was grading papers in public so i asked her where she taught. i told her where i taught, and she said she used to teach there but they didn't like her and didn't rehire her. then, i found out that you used to work for the school and wrote the comments to parents on an on-line newletter. that lady said, "they always covered for vegibabe and she was always pissing people off," and i said, that's because she's a good writer and people like her. the lady got mad. anyway, just thought that was weird. ;)
and... i know you're not still vegibabe, but you would've been then, so i guess that's why i dreamt it with that name.
"She mumbles under her breath"... I'm sure people will be calling him this for ages.
10 minutes is a long time in a classroom! Hats off to you GrandPoo! I agree with Frog. If "GrandPoo" were in the dictionary, it would be defined as "awesome".
monkey's human- thanks [blush]
kate- "fucktard" is such a great word. please come back more often and talk like that :).
i couldn't stop mumbling nasties if a gun were held to my head. terrible, huh?
