Run-down of the week

Unreal.

  1. Our school was rejected--not once--TWICE, by different principal candidates. This fact made our vice-chair proclaim, "OMG! WE'RE WORKING IN A HELL-HOLE AND WE'RE TOO STUPID TO REALIZE IT!"
  2. A dear friend asked me if I would be interested in a couple 36D bras. (No comment here.) She'd realized too late that they were the wrong size for her.
  3. Our math department head told our principal that she wouldn't sacrifice a good teacher for a football coach. When he became indignant ("I would never put a coach before a teacher!"), she asked him how it came to be that we created a social studies position in order to get a football coach a few years ago.
  4. A kid came into the library (right around the time we found out about our second rejection) to tell me (and I quote), "Mrs. Reid, your son knocked up a girl in biology class the other day." Thank God I knew what he meant. The students are studying genetics and each one had a male or a female dragon. Brennan had a female; a girl had a male. When quiet Brennan raised his hand to indicate he had no "spouse," the girl told her she'd mate with him. He turned a beautiful shade of maroon. Then the trouble really started.

I know there is probably more, but let's just stop for now and leave the others for some other time--like for when I feel like laughing because we have a good person at the helm.

Someone offered to mate with Brennan -- Wish I'd seen his face.
