The tech guy came to work on the two broken computers in the lab
today. Turned out to be a bust and he had to take both of them with
him. And I got to help him carry them out to his car. I am actually
somewhat surprised at how “quickly” someone came but who knows
how long it will be now before we get them back. Probably not before
testing starts.
I inched every closer to finishing the storybook I am currently on.
I finished two or three pages today. They got a lot faster when I
just have to put some text down and erase around a few objects. I'm
definitely getting there. And I need to finish it up so I can move
onto other things. Soon enough testing will become an all-consuming
thing. And I need to look into the yearbook website. The PTO mom
I'm working with sent me a link (and stopped by to talk after school
today) but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet. She makes it
sound like it is pretty simple so fingers crossed for that.
Both kindergarten classes were in the lab today and my like of one
class over the other was confirmed, for about the millionth time.
They are just so much better behaved, and when they're not the
teacher actually does something about it. It could also be a small
number of kids just bringing everyone down in the other class. Two
in particular are just annoying as hell. Especially the one who just
doesn't have any redeeming qualities. Hopefully she grows out of it
but I'm pretty confident that is impossible.
I fixed one of the second grade teacher's laptops today. First by
reinstalling a printer which had randomly renamed itself to something
weird and was then taking ages to print. I also reset her trackpad
because it was acting incredibly weird. But now she's all set. At
least for today.
I was talking to the other second grade teacher when her class was in
the lab this afternoon and we covered random topics. Including how
nice it would be to live Amish-style, with a minimalist wardrobe and
other distractions. I also learned that her older sister is
apparently “the nice one.” This was an absurd statement and hard
to really believe because this teacher is probably this nicest person
I have ever met. She is always smiling or laughing and you can never
really get to her commit to saying something bad. I made the
comparison to Fred Claus, the
teacher being Vince Vaughn and her sister being Paul Giamatti, and
she said that was exactly right. I kind of want to meet this sister
now because I'm picturing a Disney character.
Tonight I didn't do much of
anything. Watched YouTube videos, messed around with my Powerball
spreadsheet for a little bit, read stuff, and listened to music. I
need to get back on the future train and working on doing something
with my life. That would be good.
I've been looking forward to laying
down in my bed all day so I'm going to go do that now. But I will
leave you with a brief conversation between a kindergartner and her
teacher after sitting down for some one-on-one reading.
Kindergartener: “My mom said these
are baby books.”
Teacher: “Well, let's see how you
do with a 'baby book'. We'll start War And Peace
tomorrow.
