Schadenfreude!

At my darkest moments, my friends always manage to pull through and cheer me up... whether they like it or not.

One of my friend's recently started teaching 3rd grade at an elementary school down the road from her house. She messaged me the other day to tell me that one of her students... has tourettes!

My gentle response, "AHahaAHAhAHa! What kind?!!?!" I'm pulling for the obscene hand gesture/words kind. Because really, there's nothing more precious than children learning about the birds and the bees because one of their classmates yelled something about titty fucking.

Another friend, who also works with children, told me this:

Horseface: I think I'm getting old.

Your Hero: Why?

Horseface: I dislocated my shoulder trying to krumpdance.

Oooh sweet relief.

On the work front, I would just like to declare Condescendcia the Patronizing, my new official all purpose nemesis (which just means if anything goes wrong in my life she's getting the blame regardless of whether she was involved). Yesterday she came up to me to say have a good weekend and then followed with, "Because it's going to be the last weekend you'll have in the next year and a half." Then she laughed maniacally like she had just tied a woman to some railroad tracks.

She is dead to me. I must come up with new inventive ways to annoy her that also don't get me fired. Like maybe slightly rearranging things in her office just a little bit so that she can't be too sure whether anything was rearranged at all. Or shitting in her filing cabinet. Subtelty is the key.

There are just so many options.

peeing on her chair is better. the stench is less immediate, but still lingering. And it'll take days or weeks for her to even begin to figure it out.

NOT that I am speaking from personal experience, mind you!

3rd Grader with Tourettes...I laughed my ass off. I am SO going to burn in hell....

I worked with a guy who has Tourettes - not the spewing obscenities kind - he would just kinda squeak every now and then. Not as much fun. Oh yeah, I also worked with this bitch who NO ONE could stand. I found out she would have this weird reaction to cologne. Me, being the cologne whore that I am, would use her pens and phone EVERY chance I could, then sit back and watch the fun. She left a short time later. I WIN, BEEYOTCH.

Krump dancing? Wow, I've never heard of that. The whole chest popping part is what scares me the most. If I tried that I'm certain someone would lose an eye.

just be completely sure there are no hidden cameras in the office. I saw this show where this guy peed in the coffee pot and on the boss chair.

He got fired. But it made good television.

I tend to lean towards anonymous tips to... say the Board of Ed. mildly suggesting that the offensive person is selling drugs/guns/porn (it's really your choice) our of his/her office. A really good office raid by senior supervisors is a hoot to watch!

I've just started to intro my old teaching staff on my blog. You might actually know some of them.

Hm...I thought I had posted here but...If they have a desk, move one thing every day. Nothing big, just put the stapler on the opposite corner. Next day, move their paperclips. I had an anal retentive coworker and it drove him absolutely mad because it just meant someone had used his stuff :D

Hm...going with Steve's story you could "accidentally" spill some cologne in their chair....but make sure it's something nasty and cheap ;)
