colonoscopy is a funny word.

I just walked up to the woman in the Gastroenterology office to let her know I'd be waiting outside in the lobby for my mom.

B-Fab is having a colonoscopy today, so I left school during Moving Up Day to give her a hand during the joyous occasion. What a way to start the week. To B-Fabs' great irritation, I've been continuously saying "colonoscopy" all day because it makes me giggle. She finally snapped back and asked if I purposely say obnoxious things to her to get her riled up... it's too easy.

Joking aside, B-Fab says most people just ignore having the outpatient procedure done because they're too afraid so props to her for having some sand.

TGIF

The end of the week comes with obvious excitement, but for me this weekend means getting up early both days because of prior committments. I think this is karma for last weekends' vom-technic display in the hallway of my house (I couldn't make it to the bathroom).

After one going away party, happy hour and an 8th grade formal (all within the span of four hours), I'm hoping to make it one with Nicole Lilia and our friend OB who's moving to the big city in July. I can't stay out that late though, or let the bartender top of my drinks, because I'll be up by six am tomorrow. Bright eyed and bushy [pony] tailed.

Tomorrow morning, when the rest of you are recovering from Friday night, I'll be taking a teaching certification exam. I wish you all the best, hopefully no one ends up praying to the porcelain gods (brings me down for days). The weekend seems to be filling up though so it's a thumbs up and I'm hoping just to make it through without acting like a bumbling idiot or sending anymore stupid texts. I think I've hit my spazz quota for the week.

Job Security

I got a letter informing me today that I have job security for the 2010 - 2011 school year. After months of wondering whether or not I would have a job come the Fall, I don't feel the relief I thought I would. I waited around unable to answer my students when they asked if I would be back for their freshman year, lost out on a roommate and an apartment, and spent the last few months losing sleep and years on my life because I was told there was little to no chance I would get rehired (regardless of job performance).

I can't say I'm not thankful, I just wish the education system didn't yank it's employees around this way.  But that's for another day. Until then, at least I can tell my students that I'll be back in the Fall... and that I'll be wearing the new sundress I bought last week to their 8th grade formal tomorrow.

People should learn to rent cheap motel rooms...

A woman was charged with Adultery (no joke) in Batavia yesterday. She was caught having sex with a much younger man on a picnic table in a park. The article from 13wham states that they were engaging in sexual activity within view of families who were in the park. Before I even begin to dive into how beffudling it is that someone could actually be charged legally for committing adultery I think I need to state the obvious... DO NEITHER OF THESE GROWN ADULTS HAVE A CAR??? I'm sure even a strategically placed bathroom would have sufficed over a picnic table.

My favorite part about the article mentioned above is this quote,

"I think it’s disgusting I mean that's totally wrong,” Danny Bastedo said of the incident that occurred just a few hundred feet from his back door. “I mean 5 o'clock in the afternoon, come on? That's crazy."

According to Mr. Bastedo, having sex at 5 o'clock in the afternoon is despicable. Is it too bright outside? or maybe because cocktail hour just started he hasn't yet had enough drinks [by 5 o'clock] to touch that woman at the end of the bar inappropriately yet. I'm completely baffled.

Invisibility Cloak

Sometimes I wish I had an invisibility cloak. Okay wait, I ALWAYS wish that Facebook chat had an invisible option. It's totally amateur to not be able to go on Facebook, chat with the people you want and remain invisible to others who may simply want to stalk you.

I give you exhibit A. Let's call him college friend #8927340928309423. We met at a bar a few weeks ago on my close friends' birthday and then a few days later I got on Facebook to find myself with a new friend request. I waited a good two weeks before accepting, something I'm now regretting because I just got Fbook-chat stalked.

Facebook ruins social etiquette. It can be great.. to make sure the guy you're into is legit or to check up on your real friends but let's be honest, Facebook just allows you to have more information about people you don't really know than you should.

Rant over.
