Martini Kiss-Senses Fail


Tini Time

Murphy's Law
My body reboots the ovarian operating system

That is my favorite term for what others may call
Riding the cotton pony
Or
Surfing the crimson wave
Nope…not me
Just rebooting the ovarian operating system

And I stayed at school all day...in this weird state of discomfort...at least it was a day of no kids. Just bending, lifting, moving crap from my room to my car. Then over to the high school for a staff lunch...which was wonderful. I really enjoy the principal there, and we had a great last discussion. I will miss him, and the entire staff, the guy that is gonna retire next year...who always greets me with a smile, my library dude, my female friends, and even the young PE teacher who always got to school 30 seconds before me and stole my "Traveling Teacher" preferred parking spot...damn him...I'd give him a piece of my mind if he wasn't so young and attractive. LOL
Everyone smiles when I turn towards the door, something the highschool boys hadn't done for me in weeks.

Trust me, during those last few weeks, if my students even looked amused while I was in front of the room lecturing, it was only because my zipper was down-It had turned into a total waste of time.
Granted...having them try to get through some of those novels was a bad move that I only took over because their original teacher had assigned them, but it dragged on and on and I probably could have read them faster... but every couple of chapters I had to stop and throw certain books across the room!!!!!

If I do not get another contract I should become an actress. Seriously…Academy Awards have been given out for performances worse than those I have given in room 222!

Back at the middle school I literally BUMP into a parent that I had developed an interesting bond with. He worked at all of the same track meets that I did, had a wonderful sense of humor, dressed very nicely (even at track meets), and reminded me alot of Jay Leno. Now it's not like I think that Jay Leno is desperatly attractive....but in the scheme of things, he had A LOOK, carried himself unbelievably well, laughed A LOT, and was a great flirt. So when I turn to walk out of the coaches room...we bump. He smiles...gives me a hug...(I think he is the only guy in the building that is not perspiring!!)...and taps me on top of the head..."Bye, bye, butterfly!!!"

I go back to my own room, check my email one last time, spin around...and breathe.
I take a LONG LOOK. I look at the rooms, the halls, the faces.
I love to study other teachers and wonder what type of tattoo they would get if you actually forced them...mine would be a daisy...on the top of my middle toe. If I ever get back to this place, I just may ask them!

So long dear job.
It's MARTINI TIME
Mental Note: Remember these lyrics...it always happens with martinis!!!

"Theres poison in my drinking glass
Don't stop just sip it down
And in a swirling masquerade of sound
My body hits the ground"
