FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!

Blog Post - Week 7

Vinsant's comments Feb 11-15 while @#$% off

Not sure what the new blog is, but I would like to comment on a subject that is near and dear to us all....The phrase @#$% off! Julie....That first word is spelled !@#$, not @#%@#%. Any way...I got to my car after school today. Now remember...I'm In Skills USA, The Character Building Committee, Supervisor of the Student Security Team, and The "Swing Doctor" of the Varsity Boy's Golf Team. I also Tutor, am a School Mentor and The advisor of the school Resource Officers who have less time in a police uniform than my unmentionables. I go to my car and see that I have been keyed from the head light to the tail light. Now...Unless Jesse or Dr. Burns did it Saturday, then it happened at school. (Still haven't ruled out Dr. Burns).

I told the administration that I would move up in the line up for a front row parking space. I know who did it...just can't prove it (Whispering....D.R. B.U.R.N.S).

Anyway...a front row parking space with all the trimmings cost me around $400.00

I wanted to relay a slice of personal experience I gave my kids...(Was I out of line?)...If they are sweating and their lips are hot...they have Malaria !

Where do you get this stuff? It's hillarious! Sorry about your car! That could be a concern. No telling what some of these kids might do if you rub them the wrong way but we can't let ourselves be intimidated.

Perry said...

are you sure it wasnt me? you do wear them UGLY Tennessee colors!!!!

Connie said...

I have laughed so hard and I'm still laughing out loud! Even when something bad has happened you keep us all in stitches!

I am sorry about your car though. Guess somebody watched Carrie Underwood's video....

Julie J. said...

Connie, that was great!! I learned on Saturday that the Carrie Underwood song is one of his personal favorites. Wonder if he'll change his tune now?

Dr. J said...

I think it was Perry. You wore those awful colors, but didn't bring him any cheese from Wisconsin. Then again, maybe Bucky
Badger has a vindictive streak. . .

I'm upset because I didn't think to "key" you up at the Saturday class...someone beat me to it!!

Mortissa said...

I must admit, I am the guilty one. I was so upset that you have not contacted me since we are in different class that I just didn't know how else to handle this. Stop making those teachers so upset with you being the new guy and volunteering for all of those committees. They are probably thinking you are trying to show them up.

Take care

Actually, it was Colonel Mustard with the lead pipe.

Those of you who are familiar with the board game CLUE will know what I'm talking about.
