I've returned back to work, albeit only paperwork as of yet. The kids return on Monday, and I gotta fall right back into the teaching groove. Obviously, when I complain to people about going back to work, noone wants to feel bad for me. I get three months off, and I start bitching when I only have two weeks left. Most people don't get 2 weeks of vacation in one year. But I can't help it. It's hard to go from, basically, unemployed but getting paid, to working full time again. It's all good. I like the new principal. She seems rather firm and fair with the students, regarding discipline, and that's a good thing. I still miss my old principal just because he was such a cool guy, but I'll adjust.
I just found out that Pluto isn't considered a planet anymore, and we have only 8 official planets in our solar system now. Ain't that a pisser?
I just watched an MXC clip when the contestents were supposed to be porn stars. They said the one dude was the star of the gay porn films "Men in Black Men" and "Men in Black Men II". That's flipping funny as a shitbag!
Yesterday was the return to Wallyball as well. We added Jenkins to the players club. She did well for her first time out. There was a comment made before we played (from Mark and Drescher) that her legs will be sore the next day, and I commented "Yeah, if you're old." Well, goddamn. My legs are flippin sore today.
I also painted the top of the support beams yesterday. Now I have to finish the rest of the beams, which will probably take me 3-4 hours.
Tonight, my wife and I are going to the comedy club with some of the Rite Aid crew. I like hanging out with them. Most of them. The one girl is always depressed and the new guy that comes along with us has a thing for my wife. Like, I can sense he doesn't like me, just because I'm married to her. I haven't really dealt with that whole jealousy thing in a while, and there's no reason to let it bother me now. D isn't going anywhere.
You just get uncomfortable when someone your wife considers a friend would like to be more than friends with her. Women never listen. They think you're making up this shit about someone having a crush. I can just sense it. It's not like I'm a freak. The last time I felt this way about someone she was hanging around was 9 years ago, when MY friend Ian (so I thought) started calling, emailing and hanging out with Erin all the time. I told her, "D...he wants to be MORE than your friend. He doesn't like me anymore because I have you, and he wants you." She told me I was stupid. Two years later, he writes her a letter confessing his feelings to her about how much he digs her, and how he hates me for having her. Fucking shit? Really? I'd have never guessed. It really tested me because, when I was with her, sometimes I'd find myself thinking about Ian wishing he was there and shit. I got past it, and over it, and Ian's married now, etc. etc. etc. But I never wanted to deal with it again. Erin is cool and beautiful and smart...all the things you want in a girl. I can't blame any dude she meets for crushing on her, because I did so many years ago. Most dudes respect that she's married and that she's mine. But this dude gives me the vibe that he doesn't give a shit. That's the kind of vibe I don't like having around on my nights out with my wife. I dunno. Am I over-reacting here?
