Anyone into computer games? Civ 3 and the ex-packs have taken over my life.
Well, it's not like I was doing anything important to begin with.
Have any of you ever listened to the Barenaked Ladies album "Gordon" from the early 90s? It's fucking amazing. Shit. It's their best album if you ask me.
So ask me.
Oh, and the sexual harassment thing. Her, her parents, and I had a big sit-down about the whole thing. I told them my side of the story. I talked about her shitty behavior and stuff. I told them that I never intended to make her feel attacked or whatever. I also talked about all the guys their daughtor talks about fucking on a daily basis. Thay were totally on my side! They just kept looking at their daughtor with a piss-off face, and at the end the father shook my hand and apologized for the trouble their daughtor had caused me! THANK GOD. I guess smart parents CAN have dumb kids. Who would have thought?
This sexual harassment accusation was keeping me awake at night. I'm SO relived that it turned out ok. Whew.
I've learned a lesson from all this as well. As I said in an earlier post, valid or not, a sexual harasment claim can ruin a teacher's career. I need to be super-careful around girls that I teach. Before this incident, I was always carefree and friendly to my students and stuff. We'd tell jokes, hang out, and cuss. But after this near-miss, I think I need to change my overall behavior around my students to ensure that something like this never happens again. It's not worth risking my career, is it? I'll try to be more professional and less a friend to my students. I know it sucks, because a lot of the kids I teacher, especailly the dudes, are way cool. But this is how it's got to be. Like I said, it's not worth my career.
Ugh, this has got to the most boring journal entry EVER. Sorry folks. I imagine you quit reading halfway up the page. I don't blame you.
Oh, I've had a few requests for the one-armed chick story. Another time, ok? I need a shower.

I haven't spoken to Dustin in like a month. Right now I'm hooking up with Runnerguy. He's so much more worthy of my affection than Dustin will ever be.
