I now know six ways to break a choke hold. Seven, if you count using a baseball bat. You can't tell me that doesn't make me way cooler.
adjunct:
I can't think of many things that can't be accomplished with a baseball bat.
shad:
That strikes me as a valuable thing to know. This is from your conflict management course, then? Wouldn't it be better to know how to apply a choke hold that can't be broken, or some such? Sort of passive aggressive conflict management. Go ahead, choke-hold me. I'll break out of it, and then won't you feel all futile and stuff.

I'm up way too early. I slept for shit. I woke up about every twenty minutes between 2:30 and 5:30, making it impossible to dream.Today I have Crisis Prevention and Intervention training, which means I guess I'll be trained to break up the next face stabbing we have at school. At least I'll be done by 2:30, and I can come home and take a...

I'm commiserating right now. I tried to drive from Ithaca to Philly last night, but aborted that attempt around 1 am while staring up a large, icy hill. Then I tried again at 6:30 am and unfortunately succeeded, and am now suffering through a day at the office.

I haven't stabbed anybody in the face yet today, but I certainly want to.

I totally missed St Patrick's day. I didn't know till it was over.

About the twitch ... I think it's strange that greens and so on might fix it since that's when it seems to have started ... .on a recent health kick where I decided to eat more greens and vegetables. My body is rebelling and it wants meat and crap eeek

This morning I got up early because I'm supposed to go to a full day of Conflict Management Training. So not looking forward to it, but I guess it's required for everyone who works with 'at risk' students.

Well, I just got a call from Stephen Hawking (or it could have been just another automated voice recording, but pretending it was Stephen Hawking makes me...

Here's a little bit of advice from me to you, just because we're internet nudie friends:

If you ever hear someone say, "Girl, you got a ugly baby," that means someone is about to get shanked with a pencil.

According to one of my students, the reason D-Day was so successful for the Allies in WWII was The Great Wall of Belgium. I can only hope he was trying to be funny.

Also, the only way I've been able to put metric weights and measures in a context they'll understand is by relating it to buying and selling drugs: "If you were stopped...

Totally it does. I had pretty much written off that book before he requested the full script, so any gain is positive in my mind.

Every once in a while there's a story where I say "hey, that's different." Your daily trials came to mind on this one.

Today at school our administrator brought in a big, buttery, frostingful cake that said, "Happy Birthday, Jenny", because it was half-price and she wanted cake. The math teacher made pumpkin bread, and the night school teacher brought chocolate chip cookies. Yeah, I work with a shitload of pregnant women. And pregnant students. God, I hope it's not something in the water.

Wow.

Is it just me, or is your styrofoam head thing a bit on the small side? Or maybe you're going for this look:
