2:26 pm
hurshy
speaking of actors misspeaking, one of my favorite stories is this: alicia silverstone, in Clueless, pronounced Haitians as "Haiti - ans", because she just thought that was the way it was pronounced. it fit her character so perfectly, they instructed everyone NOT to tell her the correct pronunciation until after the film had been wrapped up, lest she be embarrassed and want to "fix" it.
2:26 pm
72 Temple Owl
but o f course not
2:27 pm

and with that anecdote, i must away. ttfn!
2:27 pm

hey ... I let the kids go 15 minutes early and they still licensed me ... not to worry

... could be ... maybe my recovery was good ... I don't know
4:20 pm

i don't know what she looks like, so i clipped my school ID to my laptop so she can find me
4:21 pm

... sounds like a spy to me
4:21 pm
hurshy
i sound like a spy?
4:21 pm
hurshy
i never aimed so high!
4:22 pm
zoozzoom
The question is..will you offer to buy her a coffee or will she offer to buy you one!
4:22 pm
doseffing
... buy her one and have it ready before she shows up
4:23 pm
doseffing
... at what level are you aiming to teach?
4:23 pm
hurshy
well, i was here way ahead of time so i already bought my own stuff, but i will offer to buy hers if she comes over to me before buying it
4:23 pm
hurshy
i won't buy and have ready because, i mean, i don't even drink coffee! i have a cocoa. who knows what she will want.
4:23 pm
hurshy
elementary school.
4:24 pm
doseffing
... if it was high school I'd say buy beer ... she'd need it
4:24 pm
hurshy
starbucks doesn't HAVE beer
4:27 pm
doseffing
... just keep saying " we must develop the kids intrinsic motivation for learning" "we must develop safe, secure and inclusive learning environments"... and you'll do fine
4:30 pm
zoozzoom
Hurshy has not answered which probably means the lady has arrived and the meeting is now taking place.
4:31 pm
doseffing
... I know it's nerve racking ... I had to bribe my kids to be good and pay attention and to laugh at my jokes ... ... there have been few times I was as scared
4:32 pm
zoozzoom
Yes I can imagine it is. Glad you got through it, Doesffing. And I am sure, Hurshy, will do well!
4:34 pm
doseffing
... the great myth is they are paid to fail you ... we all believe it so we all panic ... ... isn't so ... they all went through it so they know every mistake you are going to make ... they just want to see how you handle it ... ... handle your screw up well and you pass
4:36 pm
zoozzoom
Good point that makes sense. I suppose if you can manage well with this situation then you are well on your way with coping with students.
4:37 pm
zoozzoom
to coping with students*
4:38 pm
zoozzoom
I take it they are looking for how you plan a school lesson and how you will get your learning across to the students?
4:39 pm
zoozzoom
Hello, M9f9l :-)
4:39 pm
doseffing
... you will never cope with students... but yeah ... most of the job is simply keeping them encouraged enough to keep on trying to learn and keeping them sufficiently focused most of the time ... the two hardest things are to persuade them that they can learn (even or especially the hard stuff) and then encourage them to want to learn
4:41 pm
m9f9l
doseffing..your comments cracked me up. Reminded me of my brother telling me this summer of his interviews for his new school. His wife already works at that school and told him to make sure and say "growth mindset" LOL
4:41 pm
doseffing
... you've got the theory right but the practice isn't so straight forward ... you can't dazzle them with your learning because that persuades them that it's too hard ... I can't do it now and the teacher can so it must be hard...
4:42 pm
doseffing
yeah ... teaching and getting a job is amazingly political and you must keep on top of the flavour of the day phrase
4:43 pm
m9f9l
Yup. He's a principal assistant now.
4:43 pm
m9f9l
I'm so proud of him
4:43 pm
doseffing
... here ... now ...it's being inclusive and bring all the different ethnic groups and economic groups and I'm sorry political groups together and participating...
4:44 pm
doseffing
... ooh ... he' on the evil dark (i.e. administrative side) now ... I'm not sure if I could talk to him
4:45 pm
doseffing
... although they have the toughest job ... they must be the meanies
4:47 pm
m9f9l
LOL... he's done it all... lots of special ed, lots of middle school...
4:48 pm
doseffing
... congratulations to him ... that's the tough stuff ... ... especially special ed ...
4:48 pm
m9f9l
He has two roles right now. principal assistant and math intervention specialist
4:50 pm
m9f9l
Another of my brothers passed away a few years ago, but he really did the tough stuff. In private conversations he referred to students parents as "the maggots"...
4:50 pm
doseffing
... they tried getting me to do that ... I was a coward ... I ran away ... ... principal assistant sounds like what we call vice principal ... wouldn't do that for twice the money ... it's your job to be hated by everyone
4:51 pm
m9f9l
he told me about a maggot that came in to a conference and told him that she was going to pull her child from his class and put him somewhere else. He told her "you go ahead and try that. You don't understand, he's already been everywhere else and they don't want him. THe next place after me is juvy"
4:51 pm
doseffing
... and the intervention specialists have it tough too ... it's absolutely fantastic if you finally get through to a kid a persuade them that they can learn and that learning is worthwhile and worth their effort ... but until you get there ... you go home and cry every night
4:52 pm

Owen used to get an old junkyard bike, and his class would totally refit it for donation. He'd find out that someone didn't have a bike or had never had a bike and he'd show up with one. At his memorial service someone asked for a show of hands of people who had gotten a bike from him and it was overwhelming how many hands went up!

the only celebrity whose death has been very sad for me is Fred Rogers. and i dread, as i mentioned, Tom Brokaw. also James Taylor.
5:48 pm

If you don't mind a lot of bad language, google The 2016 Song - sums up 2016 for me! Don't google it though if you'll be offended by the language!
5:48 pm
hurshy
i think i'll google it and then tell you how much i was offended by the language
5:48 pm
Lizlin
No problem :)
5:49 pm
hurshy
that is what my mom would do
5:49 pm
Lizlin
That just made me laugh!
5:50 pm
hurshy
once i made banana bread, and a corner of it got nibbled by a mouse. i cut off that end, like way more than where the nibble was, and i brought it to her house. i said mom, this is what happened. so fair warning, do not eat it if it is going to worry you. and then she ate it and then freaked out that she was going to get hanta virus.
5:50 pm
Lizlin
Duh! It was her choice! You were up-front about what had happened.
5:52 pm
Lizlin
Well, some people just like to whinge!
5:53 pm
Lizlin
Just realised that could sound offensive to your mum - sorry if it does.
5:53 pm
hurshy
she is the Chief Whinge
5:54 pm
hurshy
no don't worry i'm always saying things that are ... not flattering to her to say the least
5:54 pm
hurshy
when my sister was pregnant with her first child, my mom's first grandchild, you know most women at that point are like so excited, some have even been overly pushy wanting a grandchild. MY mom hears the news and says it makes her feel old.
5:55 pm
Lizlin
Ah, but she's your mum!
5:55 pm
Lizlin
You can make those comments.
5:55 pm
hurshy
and THEN she was unsatisfied with all possible options for what my nephew would call her. grandma etc. all sounded too old.
5:56 pm
Lizlin
What did she decide on?
5:56 pm
Deeha
glass half empty sort of person
5:56 pm
hurshy
so i said look you better accept one of the suggestions quick or i am going to decide for you and it is going to be Old Grey Wrinkly Hag, OGWRH for short (which we would pronounce OGRE)
5:56 pm
Lizlin
I love that!
5:57 pm
hurshy
well HER mom is grammy, and is still alive, so we landed on grammy(my mom's first name).
5:58 pm

But I bet she loves her grandchild (children) whatever they call her.
5:58 pm

my mom got my niece some clothes for her birthday a couple of months ago, and my niece like FLIPPED OUT when she opened them. major tantrum. "this is NOT a birthday present!" - she LOVES clothes but apparently they were NOT her style. so what does my mom do in response to this wildly inappropriate reaction to a gift? takes her straight over to exchange them.

we'll start seeing "Palin" in the grid

I am curious about the in 10....is it a compound word?
7:57 pm
HarryHood
kind of, pen
7:57 pm
LeslieAnn
not... really. i don't think the first "part" stands on its own.
7:57 pm
HarryHood
prefix is more accurate
7:57 pm
penquis
Common prefix?
7:58 pm
HarryHood
fairly common
7:58 pm
LeslieAnn
5 letters, means "between" i believe
7:58 pm
HarryHood
means "within"
7:58 pm
LeslieAnn
then there's a real word at the end :)
7:59 pm
HarryHood
the more common one means "between"
7:59 pm

ah yes harry. like a company internal web

Ran a diagnostic and it said "WiFi doesn't have a valid IP configuration"....checked the IP address and the password for the wifi and both were correct....
8:05 pm
LeslieAnn
pen asked the IT hubby. he suggests right-clicking on your wifi icon, going to settings, and removing your home network, then adding it back, which will hopefully fix any issues in your settings
8:05 pm

Hi Bugsaw! How are you?
10:14 pm
Bugsaw
so tired of this grid but otherwise, very well. slowly moving towards the holiday
10:14 pm
Bugsaw
are you still looking for a suitable house?
10:15 pm
Jellen
Yes. Have to put in on hold a bit though. I need to get my house in saleable condition first.
10:16 pm
Nef
Good evening. I'm wondering why I start grids before I look at their size?
10:16 pm
Bugsaw
Minveryork is doing that too. It seems to take forever.
10:16 pm
Bugsaw
Hi Nef. I have learned never to start until Lickety has come through
10:16 pm
Jellen
Hi Nef! I am now halfway.
10:17 pm
Nef
I started this in the AM before my day got going; only now did I look at the size!!!
10:19 pm
Nef
(When Bugs said she was tired of this grid is when I looked at the size)
10:20 pm

I am just finishing with Morewords so I can go bake some sugar cookies, ready for the little ones to decorate tomorrow.

Hiya kiddos! I started on my lunch hour and have been lurking since I got home an hour ago. No chance of FW here.
10:20 pm
Nef
Yep! Pretty much stupid of me, right?
10:21 pm
Bugsaw
how did the interview go, origami?
10:21 pm
Bugsaw
we are never stupid, Nef. Just distracted
10:22 pm
origami
I'm not sure. They asked for my references, so we shall see. In retrospect I provided a couple of answers that could have been a little more elegant :-D
10:22 pm
Nef
Yes, ore; did the interview go well?
10:23 pm
Bugsaw
It is so hard to knw how interviews have gone because you don't know what they are looking for. Lots of times it is someone who will fit in well with the current workers.
10:23 pm
Bugsaw
It is always good to get a higher paying job just before retirement to help with pensions
10:24 pm
origami
I did have them laughing a couple of times, except for this grumpy old assistant dean.
10:24 pm
Nef
Thanks for being so kind, Bugs. I did hop online to see what the grid looked like& entered enough words in 20 minutes for NBT; so I was clock watching too.
10:25 pm
Jellen
I did the same thing, Nef.
10:25 pm
origami
They took copious notes, which is a good thing. I sit on a lot of interview panels and if they are not doing well, you only take minimal notes.
10:25 pm
origami
Thanks for asking guys :-D
10:26 pm
Bugsaw
it sounds like you did well then, origami. I hope you get it and that it is all you hoped it would be.
10:26 pm
Bugsaw
Though, if you get a new job it might postpone a trip up north!
10:27 pm
Jellen
Fingers crossed for you, ori!
10:29 pm
origami
Hopefully not, Bugs. There is a reciprocity agreement between UC and the CSU system so I would still earn my 5 weeks a year vacay!
10:29 pm
origami
thanks Jellen!

ori, for my last position, they had me come back 4 times for interviews. I was applying for a nurse manager position for a prenatal program in a women's center. I admitted right up front that I had very little maternity nursing experience but had been pregnant before & I was a fast learner & also knew how to ask for help when I needed it. They took tons of notes (which is part of why I had so many interviews I think).

I never worked anywhere more than 8 years. Once it wasn't fun any more, I moved on. Employers had a tendency to take advantage of my good work ethic so over the years I had WAY more duties than anyone else but earned the same salary.

that will help your gas costs for sure and improve your mental health at the same time.

What a difference in your life that would be! A shorter (& less stressful, I would think?) commute might be just what you need!
10:38 pm

I am being taken advantage of where I am, and the commute issues loom large. Think what I could do with all that extra time! Read more, garden more, fix up my house more, and not least of all ... fold more paper :-)

a young friend of mine loved doing origami and he made the little bride and groom for the top of their wedding cake. They were cute.

It's funny Jellen, I am the most uncoordinated person I know. But for some reason, when I get my hands on paper, I can make it do my bidding :-)

It does take a lot of patience though. I spend a lot of time surrounded by crumpled paper.
