I've been reading over at P&P, but honestly haven't felt able to contribute due to the oblique nature of the posts. I did jump in with the whole Name Thing, though!<br /><br />dbso--I know that you , as a member of the healthcare profession, understand well the nature of this type of humor to break up the tension and frustration in the workplace.

Palin, etc. Among other things, I just don't want to give her any more media discussion/space, is basically what I said. Like you, I wish she'd just stfu, but as long as the various media outlets keep giving her attention, she keeps providing them with fodder, and her pups keep lapping it up. Most of them, like her, are not the least bit distracted by facts, so they can't be reasoned with or even talked WITH rationally to perhaps get their actual VIEW on anything. Sad to say, right now I'm sort of "detaching with love" from politics in general. Not to be immodest or self=aggrandizing, but I'm just better than that right now. I don't want to "get any on me". Now, as far as you calling me a genius...I like the interrogative after it. Noticed that right away.

That kind of student can wear one down so much. And, as I've said before, a teacher's lounge offers both compatriot relief and cynicism, most of which is very needed to just get through. I guess I'm equally warped that I don't consider the enticement on spotting the walk-on/cameo character to be mean at all. Gosh, if they fall for that ... go for it! And, you were brilliant to just go along with whatever the eager beaver student said. I love that the bright kids stayed quiet ... amused that Mrs. D has pulled another good one over on the nitwits.<br /><br />Shirleygfe--gluten free easilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08182613995248482102noreply@blogger.com
