a "Blinding" experience 02.11.2003 - 12:19 a.m. today we had this "oh so educational" yet "oh so unnecessary" after-school workshop for teachers on "how to use those impossible 'computer-like' calculators".....retarded... the lady was pretty dumb in that she talked to the entire 7 of us like we were an auditorium of about 500. she was even looking over and out above our heads as if even looking at 500 faces....i at one time, turned around to make sure there wasn't anyone there (and i made sure she saw me turn and look puzzled at the back of the room, heehee).....of couse, me "the perfect student", had to make the best of the class (or shall i say waste of time). her first line..."ok, find the start key." i nudged my teacherfriend and gestured to pretend we're blind and "find" the start key like she said.... me--"Wait, wait. I think I've almost found it." (my eyes somewhat rolled into my head, like blind people do) silly lady--"Please find the start key, and not pretend you're blind." when the other 5 started to catch on and "find" the start key....we knew the class would brighten up. a little bit o'humor aint never hurt nobody! but she continued with this formal class, overheads, powerpoint and all. my teacherfriend and i continued to amuse ourselves though. like how 7734 upside-down on a calculator spells hell...yes, a perfect description of our class. with "hell" spelt upside down on our calcs, we then continued to pretend it was a magic 8-ball.. *Magic 8-ball....what's this class gonna be like? ******HELL *Magic 8-ball....if my teacherfriend keeps ho-ing around, where's she gonna go? ******HELL *Magic 8-ball....when's this class gonna be over? ******(when) HELL (freezes over) then we graduated to spelling out +145, upside-down that's shit.... so we continue.... *Magic 8-ball....what does laxative make you do? ******SHIT *Magic 8-ball....what does my teacherfriend do every morning at 10am, and stink up the entire teacher's lounge? ******SHIT *Magic 8-ball....if i eat 1 more handfull of chex-mix, what am i gonna feel like? ******SHIT *Magic 8-ball....what's this woman full of? ******SHIT sad, but it kept us awake and entertained a good hour of the class. we gave her a pretty hard time. they always say teachers are the worst students. but she was soooooo weird. she kept on teachin like we were a fantastic amphitheater of hundreds of listening ears, all in our thinking caps, ready to go and conquer our classes with these impossible calculators..... it was superiorly dumb....are there other schools out there that make you do this dumb and pointless training? please help me, help me, i must know!!!! CALGON, TAKE ME AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *** I would also like to apologize to any that took offense to my humor against the blind. they are indeed a beautiful people...(maybe you can just delight in the fact that i'm going to have retarded, blind, and deaf children because of my beastly, heinous, and atrocious manner of taking things so lightly) :) � |
