Me: I need you to call the phone company, and I memorized the number so I don't even need to look it up.
Her: It probably isn't a lot of numbers.
Me: What are you talking about? It is an entire 800 number.
Her: What is it? 1-800-444-4445?
Me: Wow. That is really close. How did you know?
(Actual number was 1-800-444-4410)

The Odds are Good
Recent conversation with my girlfriend:
Me: I'm not sure I want to say.
Her: Go ahead.
Me: I had us as 6 to 1 favorites.
Her: Not bad, I was thinking 4 to 1.
Me: That's one of the sexiest things a girl has ever said to me.
I think I'm going to marry this one.

Old Cayucos Tavern
I just looked this place up on Yelp because I was curious if they still had poker there. This was the first review I read:
From Patrick W:
liquor in the front, poker in the rear.
great spot to find that middle aged woman in search of a young man.
but everything else is awesome.
pool tables and shuffleboard. a most visit when in Cayucos

Pizza Party
Yesterday I bought pizza for 40 of my students as a reward for their effort in class. I think only 4 said "thank you."

Basic Effort
Here is the caption from under this photo:
I was in a restaurant so I did not benefit from hearing any commentary from the announcers. Pagan was on first and he went half way. When the ball hit the wall he easily made it to the third. The part I don't get: how did Huff not get to second? I'm still a little upset about it.

StickK
This is quite an idea:
stickk.com
When I first heard about it I thought they were paying out their members for hitting their goals, but I didn't see anything about that on the website.

Not Yet...
I did not choose to get legal representation this year, but my colleague just showed me the most recent letter from our lawyer. Some of you know about my situation, but really this does a good job of explaining why I am getting pink-slipped now and did not earlier in my career. Let me know if you would like further clarification or information. (skipped-- means skipped from being laid-off.) This does not mean I won't be offered my job back, but as of now have do not have it.
5. MATH SKIP: The District skipped 25 junior math teachers because they held a single subject math credential, which authorizes them to teach calculus and trig. The District stated that it did this because of the need for calculus and trig teachers. We noted for the Judge that only 6 of the 25 were teaching such classes and that one of the 25 taught in middle school. The Judge found that skipping based on that evidence was improper and that math teachers who hold a foundational level math credential can teach most of the high school math courses. We read the decision to call for 18 rescissions in math. The District did not read it that way. Today, it informed us that because it expects all 25 to teach calculus and/or trig next year (which seems impossible given that only 6 did this year) it is not rescinding any additional math layoffs. Expectedly, we are reviewing this as part of our potential challenges of the District’s actions. Bottom line at this time, there are no further rescissions in math.

Artificial Inflation
Last week I asked our plant manager if he could find me an overhead projector. He did. So today I used an old overhead projector for the first time in years.
They no longer allow us to control our own classroom temperature. So my AC will not come on unless the room is warmer than 74 degrees. So I put the overhead in the back of my class and put it directly on the thermostat. My room was cool and comfortable the rest of the afternoon.

My Pillow
This is what the pillow looked like in the tub. I forgot I also had to replace my shower curtain that melted from the flames.
This is about the position of the bed at the beginning of the night. We just shifted the pillow over slightly and then...
