we're blizzarding (yep, i just made that word up...i like it) outside right now. while the snow is coming down, i thought i'd take this time to let y'all see what my days are like sometimes through things i hear and interactions i have....
enjoy :)
we've been preparing for a lot of snow this weekend all week long. at the j one day, we were talking to one of our friends and told him that we might get a lot of snow this weekend -- so much, in fact, that it might be taller than him. we asked him how he'd be able to go anywhere...how would he walk places?
he looked at us, with complete seriousness, said: "hmm....that might be tricky"
today, while the kiddos were trying unsuccessfully to fall asleep, the other teachers and i were talking about a student in our class(through spelling and not naming names) who gives us a lot of problems (and who i absolutely love). we were discussing ways to handle some of the behaviors we see when the little kid (who was behind me) said, "yeah, because sometimes i'm tough."
the kids are listening.....and are apparently more on top of our codes than we thought....
sometimes our customers at panera are a lot of fun. they joke around and you can tell they are just fun, happy people. yesterday some guys came in to have a meeting and they were this type of customer. joking around about personal service, treating panera like it's vegas, joining them on our break, etc. in fact, one guy even came back to the register to claim a problem with his receipt....the problem? i was his cashier and someone else's name was listed. while the joking around can make working more fun, i have a bit of a problem with certain types of the joking behavior when you are wearing a wedding ring! these guys aren't the only ones who do it, believe me (and i'm sure that there are girls who would do this too, but all of our cashiers are girls, so they don't do that so much with us). maybe i'm wrong -- and please let me know if i am! -- but i think that there's a line you have to be really careful not to cross. and joking around like that, even if it's viewed as harmless, can start you down a dangerous and slippery slope....
i was also told today that i'm trouble. that i'm the quiet girl no one suspects, but then i surprise everyone with a whole other side of me....repeatedly i was told this this morning....
i'm pretty sure it's not true....
other than these random snippets of conversation, here's what's been going on in my life:
1. i have a new car! my parents found it online in atl and checked it out and bought it for me...i just have to get to atl and pick it up...
2. my computer screen broke the other day. like, really broke. but dell was on top of things and came within 2 days to fix it!
3. my emotions are still all over the place. really. all over the place.
4. i've seen a couple of good movies in the theaters lately...leap year and when in rome....both were good...i'd watch them again...
5. we've had a lot of snow here lately. a lot. and when you add what we're supposed to get this weekend, it'll be more snow than i've ever seen in my lifetime...
i'm going to try to post some pictures soon, because my poor little blog has been picture-less for far too long....
enjoy :)
