Serves 'em right if they get sick.

The new semester started today. I teach Photography (grade 10), computer art (grade 9) and Visual arts (grade 10).

I'm really satisfied with my visual and computer art courses, but I think my photography kids are going to give me some trouble. :shamefulcry:

With, but the model that has an on/off switch. Some kids may pee their pants when the shock is applied :hehe:

They're all electric.

We're still working on that project that can't possibly succeed. Didn't get fired 3 weeks ago. But got an extension on the probation along with the rest of the team. That means... we still can't do an internal transfer.

Things have gotten bad (oh, yeah... 9 members of our 13 person team have quit since around last August) that a funny dream was had over the weekend. The director had another all-hands meeting. He says, "The only way we'll be able to finish the project is if we do it in a zero gravity environment." My boss immediately stood up and voluteered his team to go to the space station. :shamefulcry: :beaten:

This is really a crappy situation. :hehe:

LOL! I love when I deny kids to go the bathroom, and they threaten by saying that if I don't let them go, they'll piss their pants. My response: go ahead, but you're not leaving the room until it's mopped from the floor.

That usually shuts them up. :hehe:

What do you do?

CORBA/C++ programmer for our company's website. The "leadership" decided to do something foolish by integrating the revenue generator with a piece of middleware that just doesn't work. It was architected wrong. :rofl:

So, a customer calls in, but he needed to go to a different department, their number starts out 1-888-288-, and I tell him, "You need to call 1-888-288-xxxx" He says, "I have to call 888 twice?" I said, "No, it's 1-888-288-xxxx" I had to explain to this nitwit FOUR times that he didn't have to call 888 twice before he got it!!! :beatyou: Felt like I was in the middle of a f**king Abbott & Costello routine. :bonk:

Shhhhhhhh. No one is supposed to know you're that annoying voice in my head. :P

Slow day today. A few of our senior management and senior investors left the country last night, for unplanned vacations to the Caribbean. The fact that they left for places which have no extraditions treaty with Canada, are rich Italians and left the country only a few hours after the Gambino crime family got busted in New York, are surely just a pure coincidence. :sweat:

Who wants to start my car? :hehe: :beaten:

:lol:

Kind of a strange saturday. It was hectic all day. But I went to lunch at burger king with the big boobed pharmacist and the girl that threw my heart on the ground and did the mexican hat dance on it. In her plush BMW.

Ehh? :headscratch:

I guess that didn't make sense. I went to lunch with both of them, at Burger King, and we drove there in her BMW. It was weird...at least for me. I kind of felt like some stray dog they put in the back seat.

Oh.

Why did you go in the first place?

Mebbe because the big boobed girl distracted him enough to pull him along. :rofl:

On Topic: Alrighty, I slacked off all yesterday... so I definitely need to get into gear today. New semester means new lesson plans...
