Yeah, so I am sick . . .
Mar. 21st, 2007 04:21 pmI am not a doctor, but I know that when I have not eaten all day, and I have to force myself to eat at 3:30 p.m., I ain't right.
General malaise and ennui. Stuffed up sinuses, the end (I hope) of some chest congestion, very achy legs and chills. Depressed too. This is probably about 75 percent physical and 50 percent mental,
Stayed home from school, went up there after school to get some stuff and leave lessons for tomorrow just in case.
What did I eat? (I am so glad you asked.)
Toast
Two, cold Perdue breaded chicken breasts
Two small containers of fruit in jello
A glass of Emergen-C
A cup of Echinechea tea
(I am glad I live in a health-conscious house)
Took a shower.
Gonna nap now.
Yes, I *am* a whiny bear.

If you were me . . .
Mar. 21st, 2007 04:29 pmYeah, pretty exciting thought, eh?
If you were me, you would be in your 15th year of teaching.
You would have 11 years of full-time newspaper experience, and a bunch of part-time and freelance stuff.
You would be a people-person. (Some might argue you would be a bullshit artist, too).
If you were me, and you weren't going to be a teacher in the Fall (by choice), what would you do to make a living?

Crash Davis: "Yeah, I was in the show. I was in the show for 21 days once - the 21 greatest days of my life. You know, you never handle your luggage in the show, somebody else carries your bags. It was great. You hit white balls for batting practice, the ballparks are like cathedrals, the hotels all have room service, and the women all have long legs and brains."
and
Crash Davis " Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win 20 in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win 20 in the show, however, it means you are a slob."
And three from "For Love of the Game"

Jane Aubrey: Do you lose very much?
Billy Chapel: I lose. I've lost 134 times.
Jane Aubrey: You count them?
Billy Chapel: We count everything.
and
Jane Aubrey: You ever gotten your heart broken?
Billy Chapel: Yeah. When we lost the pennant in '87.
and
Billy Chapel: God, I always said I would never bother you about baseball, lord knows you have bigger things to worry about. But if you could make this pain in my shoulder stop for ten minutes, I would really appreciate it.
