Hump Day Confession

I have no idea who about half of my students are. 

This one girl just walked in and I stared at her for a good minute before she asked me to check her homework. I had no idea she was even in my class, I thought she was just a random. She's been here since Day 1. 

I'm the worst.

Re: Hump Day Confession

  • I have NO idea how to pronounce the guy I am seeing's last name.
  • My October spending freeze went down the toilet in a major way yesterday.  I hired a personal trainer.
  • I bought a tube of Nivea's Goodbye Cellulite cream yesterday. I am hiding it from my H. My legs have generally looked okay no matter what I weighed but lately .......... :-/

    Bouet. Any takers? I suck at French pronunciations.

    I googled and only found this:

    Basically the rule seems to be, forget everything you ever learned in your school French lessons. Yes, I know it looks as though it should read ?the Bo-ay? but try pronouncing the Bouet that way down the pub and you?ll be laughed out of the Friday night meat draw (another local custom that tends to take unsuspecting vegetarians by surprise).

    Hahah!! I saw that article too! Got a million results about bouquet and that one. Damn, guess I'll have to ask him.

  • Instead of working I have been shopping and planning my BDay festivities for the end of the month.

  • One of the only reasons I "agreed" ( as if I truly had a choice) to go to Dubai for my DBBIL wedding was because I knew we'd fly business class and I would get two new dresses.

  • I took today off work to have cosmetic dental work and may have mislead my boss a bit...He thinks it was oral surgery that was going to take all day. Embarrassed In my defense I just told him it was a dental appointment that would likely take a lot of time.
  • I have bruised e-feelings from someone anonymously telling me that I was being obnoxious about being on Ellen. I shouldn't care, but seriously what's so wrong with being excited about it?

  • I just realized I have been living in denial about how big I am getting.  I just tried on two of my "gamer" zip up comfy hoodies only to find that they are skin tight now.  As happy as I am about this, I am sad as well. 

    After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!

  • This baby is giving me wicked gas. If my students start to complain about the stench, I'm totally going to blame it on kids I don't like.
  • I'm over all of my coworkers.
  • I don't give a damn about the other people's critiques in my photography class.

     

    Which I guess defeats the whole purpose of critique. But I don't care.

    i don't really know - all she would say was "we had some things come up."  after confirming that they're okay otherwise, i reveled in the fact that we hadn't booked/paid for anything.  this is one time i'm happy to be brokeasfuck, because i know there were other folks who paid for their entire vacation packages already.

    Yeah. The name was mrs something or other but now it's not in my PMs anymore.  Does that mean she got deleted? It wasn't a name I'd ever seen before.
