I want McDonalds, y'all.
I dream about it every so often. Usually about chicken mcnuggets. Yet, I won't go. I think my willpower is weakening.
Last night I started watching Howards End on PBS. I was quite intrigued, and didn't even need to get my phone from the kitchen. It's also on Amazon, and Natalie told me recently I should watch it. I might watch the rest before PBS shows it. Afterwards, I tried watching Sanditon, but I just wasn't feeling it.
I have not started studying for AINS 22 yet. It was on my to-do list for today, and then I decided to work on my decade recap. I feel like my decade is boring, and sadly lacking in the relationship department, but it'll get posted eventually. I also have 4 loads of laundry on my bed that need to be put away.
Over the weekend I helped Heidi move, and only have 2 small bruises to show for it! Logged few miles in walking and many flights of stairs. It felt good after my sit-down job all the time. Speaking of work, my manager has left and I'm temporarily back with Lisa, my first manager. They also rearranged a bunch of people. The 3 who got promoted got quite literally put alone in a corner, which makes me very much sad. Sure, they leave in a month, but they didn't have to get moved AWAY from the rest of us. I was out on Friday, when pretty much everyone else on my team is off anyway, so I didn't have to be lonely that day. The next team moved a row over so I have people near me, who I talk at as if I'd known them forever. Ha. Hope I'm not annoying anyone.
Now for some memeage.
late Friday Five: words
1. How much slang do you use?
Not much...? I know I use some, but I can't even think of any off the top of my head. Is 'lol' slang?
2. What are your favorite words?
plethora, qualms, frick (one of these things is not like the others!)
3. How much do you curse?
Far more as an adult than I'd ever dare to as a kid, and yet, still not that much. I use it sparingly and when appropriate, you could say. When I was teaching, I swore A LOT in my head. It's a good thing I didn't have the habit of swearing all my life, as I'm sure I would have let a word or 3 slip out audibly in the classroom, which I'd never be able to live down.
4. What makes a great conversation?
Interesting topics where all participants can keep up and contribute. Also when catching up with friends I haven't seen in ages.
5. How often do you have "deep discussions?"
Not as often as I'd like, because I'm usually too chicken to start them. I used to complain a lot about teaching to my other teacher friends, which involved a lot of analysis of why everything sucked so much.
