T.G.I.(almost)F.

Big administrative changes coming at work, and I spoke up today at a meeting and said what everyone else was thinking but was too chicken to say. Hope it was said diplomatically.

I have taught the same lesson to twelve classes recently. Kill me now.

I swear I am not making this up:
Twelve-year-old: The country I picked isn't in the

Now, I'm not a whiz at geography, but honestly. I thought they taught continents and countries in elementary school.

*grin*

You thought that was bad? Last year, our history teacher got fed up with us not knowing basic British, European and world geography. He spent a lesson taking us through all the cities and regions in England, and all the capital cities of each country. When he got to Iraq, and asked if anyone knew the name of the capital, someone came up with 'Iran'.

I kid you not. The someone seemed genuinely surprised to find that Baghdad was the capital of Iraq, and Iran was a seperate country. :D

The orb spider is in arachnid heaven, but now I have an angry, rabid-looking squirrel sitting about seven feet away from the porch shouting curses at me. Makes me glad I don't speak squirrel.

:) The poor spider. A squirrel sounds like an improvement though. At least you won't have to scout your porch to make sure it isn't going to creep up on you before stepping out of the door.

Yikes. That's pretty amazing, but I suppose I'm not too surprised.

Yes, the poor spider got stomped. It was his own fault, really, as he decided to take a walk on the floor where he made too tempting a target.
