My OperaWorking too hard to laugh
Thursday, October 27, 2011 11:16:56 AM
I obviously have too much work to do because I am not paying attention to the humor around me. It is not that I have many more students to care for, it is that there is a ton of extra paper tht goes with each one. Everyday it seems as if they add another form or two for these poor students to fill out. If that is not bad enough, the powers that be change forms which means we have to go back to the existing students and get new editions of old forms signed.
And this is a PAPERLESS office. I have generated more paper in my paperless office than I ever did in a non-paperless office.
Yesterday, I got to work at 9:36... I was supposed to be there at 9:30. I didn't get a lunch break until 5:08... a time when most people are heading home. I left at 7:04 pm. I did eat a sandwich/snack about 2:30.
And I have the nerve to wonder why I am too tired to laugh.
I did have a nice opportunity to laugh this past weekend when I went to visit some friends I knew from Florida who now live in Tennessee that I haven't seen in about 15 yearts. We had great times together and we laughed until sides hurt remembering some of the "mishcheif" we got ourselves into. Thanks for that Bob and Velma!
It started when we were trying to coordinate the meet-up because they were going to be in my area for just one evening and the following day. She emailed me, I emailed back. She emailed me, I emailed back. She texted me, I texted back. I called her and left a message. She called and left a voicemail. Finally, we talked on the phone and it was, "What about..." "Meeting there is better..." "How about..."
Finally, I said to her, sarcastically, "We planned this really well, Velma."
She said, "I know. Just like old times."
