The one in particular I was loving today was a fellow grader, sitting kitty-corner to me while we all cover-to-covered in the library today.

He’s an elementary school teacher, and we had some very entertaining conversations about his sass and his use of it in the classroom.

He had one child come up to him after failing a test, crying that “OH NO I’M GOING TO BE A HOBO!”

This man looked at the child and said “Well, not if you start working like you should. You’re not trying, you gotta try. I’ll give you the test again tomorrow, and we’ll see just how well you can do when you put the work in. I don’t want to be throwing change at you downtown, child.”

*lols*

There was a worker next to me who basically did nothing all day. Cover-to-cover was too boring for him, so he twirled his pencil, stared into space, read a newspaper at one point.. it was annoying all of us. When we got to the end of the day, some people were helping others with their workloads, and this slacker kid asked the gay man why he wasn’t helping him with the vast amounts the kid had left.

“Honey, because you ain’t been working all day,” the man replied. “In fact, you’d be on Silent Lunch and no recess tomorrow if you were one of my students.”

Oh my god. I about died. He was my salvation today, as he made me laugh constantly and forget about the mundane crap I was doing.

And the fact that my ass did NOT like that chair. Ouch.
