it's no secret now that i dig on pirates, so imagine my elation to learn that today, sept 19, is "international talk like a pirate day". all thanks to cheesie top 40 radio for keeping me informed. they even provided me with a new joke for the collection:

what kind of socks does a pirate wear?
Arrrrrrgyle!

dinner with the folks saturday evening yielded the discovery of something wonderful. seems my mom was flipping channels on the tv and came across gospelrobics. she reports watching the conclusion, a full 15 minutes, and honestly, i think she even enjoyed it. when questioned further she explained the aerobics instructor yelled out things like "punch that devil out of your life" and "ooo- kick. him. out." while switching from move to move, all the while gospel music pumping in the background. how inspirational. i couldn't wait to get some gospelrobics of my own. thanks to their website, you can get some too.

this morning i received a text message via my cell. i didn't recognize the number, although it was local. it's a boring monday so i felt compelled to write back. at first i pretended it was some long lost friend wanting to reunite over shopping....... no doubt it was some 16 year old kid.

anonymous hipster: whoz thiz?
me: poster, who is this?
ah: IM POSTER. WHO R U?!
me: i already said.
ah: IM POSTER. WHO R U?!!!
me: already said.
ah: IM POSTER. WHO R U??
me: so, uh, been fun, but i don't recognize this number. scram.

this morning i opened my eyes to a mere 15 minutes in which to dress and dash off to an early meeting. by the grace of some higher power, i was able to make coffee, wash my hair, and dress just in time to get on down the road. the first 30minutes of my commute were a dream--- traffic parted as i cruised along. at this rate, i'd be early even. then, just 10 minutes away from destination, was a dead-stopped interstate. damn! in a defensive move, i exited the highway, and reconfigured my drive, weaving through the downtown. much to my dismay, this plan did not pan out. i hit every stoplight and, in turn, cursed the remainder of the drive. so now i am late- a good 10 minutes late. i grab the stuff out of my car, and dash inside, all the while trying to appear unscathed & completely nonchalant about my lateness. it was in an attempt to do just that, that my couth will be challenged for months to come.

the principal's laptop projects meeting notes onto an overhead. she sits at the head of the room, leads the meeting, and is a bit intimidating to me. anyway, laptop and accessories leads to cords everywhere and just my luck, no seats on the side of the table without cords turned limbo bar. forced to scale them, i make a brief jump and just almost make it. horror. not only did the laptop and projector suffer consequences from my uncoordination, another meeting member, THE top guy from our board of ed, was splattered with coffee.

i'm sending out my resume'.
