smugness takes a dive

May 16, 2017 17:48

There are times when I feel I’m channelling my inner sophisticated and professional adult with laudable success. Last night’s meeting was all about data, something I loathe. But the data was looking at the school’s senior classes and their results on the all important end-of-year exam. My class’ results were SPECTACULAR. Above the state average in ( Read more... )

Oh I hurt on your behalf- emotionally and physically! So sorry this happened... but very kind of him to help you.

Aww you are the sweetest thing! I really appreciate your emotional and physical pain on my behalf - you are the best, Jess!

And yeah it was really nice of him not to laugh too hard at me haha - even the younger students were pretty restrained considering the absolute spectacle I made of myself.

P.S. Congratulations on your spectacular data! Don't let that fall overshadow such an accomplishment!!! :)

Thanks :) Even though I still think taking student data too seriously is ridiculous (since students don't all start out at the same spot academically and there are a variety of non-data-identifiable factors that can influence how they go across a year) it was pretty nice.

Did I mention you are a KLUTZ among ALL yer udder attributes?

Home from the outback of British Columbia aka wine country and now I'm off to see and feel my sexy lady Doc (who wants me bad.. well at least in my mind).. to discuss ALL the bruising you've inflicted on me these past weeks with yer incessant poking of my amazing bod with gams to die for eh...

How is it sweet miss Jen that you can take a classroom full of empty minds and take em to the top~O~their grades but you can't walk under a 100 ft. from yer ride to the schoolz haus door without doing a face splat?

No I don't believe you've ever told me I'm a klutz before, Dave. I do recall you suggesting I had udders before, but klutz doesn't ring any bells :P

Did you have fun in wine country? I hope your sexy doc didn't go too rough on you when checking you over :) Although knowing you, you'd probably be happy if she did!

I don't know the answer to that one, Dave. It's a baffling mystery for the ages, methinks :)

PS that icon isn't really completely accurate since I didn't fall down stairs!

Huh.. really Sweets.. you have bagpipe teats?

ud·der
ˈədər/Submit
noun
the mammary gland of female cattle, sheep, goats, horses, and related ungulates, a baglike organ with two or more teats hanging near the hind legs.

Damn girlfriend you NEVER cease to amaze me.

My wine tasting dayz unfortunately have been curtailed due to dizzy brain disease ... aka TIA stroke residuals from last year that I'm tryin to shake off..

FALLIN down stairs or in a parking lot.. same thing :>)

Gah, I can't imagine wine country was much fun without a bit of imbibing. I hope you found a way to entertain yourself that left your brain alone to recover :)

I never said I had udders - I'm just sure you have suggested that I did before :P And I'm kind of anti-plastic surgery but if ever my boobs are "hanging near my hind legs" I think I'll quickly see a surgeon about correcting that haha.

I have those momentary lack of grace episodes quite often haha, but thank you for suggesting they don't detract from my teachiness :P How could I teach YOU anything, b?! You have taught me many things though, including one of my favourite expressions ever - fuckety foo!

you are certainly not the first, or even the hundredth to adopt my Benisms, as they have been called.

For a moment there I really thought you'd written Penisisms haha :) Your Benisms are very worthy of adoption and I promise I'll always give them a good home.

Your girls go to an amazing school so this is pretty unfathomable! How could that teacher have taught the entire wrong curriculum??! It doesn't make any sense. Did she teach the new Year 12 VCE English curriculum that was meant to be implemented in 2018 a year early or something?? And how is she still employed?? And even if, by some miracle, she was still employed, why would your amazing school allow her to teach VCE level again?? That's astonishing!

One bajillion dollars per minute :P In unmarked monopoly notes.
