I think I figured out why my head's been alternately trying to fly off my neck and feel like it's being poked with an ice pick- it's the protein. I and not much of a soy or beanophile, so if I'm eating vegetarian I sometimes get careless with my protein intake, which makes my head hurt. So I need to go home for a bean infusion stat. I wonder if they'll let me leave work early. The phones have been really busy, so I will need a good excuse.

I got a letter back from E.E., in which he gushed about how much he loves teaching high school children math and physics. Well, someone's got to do it I suppose.

Here is what an on-line rhyming dictionary helped me to produce when told a friend changed her kitten's name from Ava to Veruca, because the kitten is such a demanding brat:

I want a ball
I want some catnip!
Pink furry mouses and carpet-clad houses and carl friedrich gausses...
don't care how, I want it now!

Better person then I am, Gunga Din... one of the reasons I'm not going for a secondary degree is that by that age, most students will be taller then I am.

Gods, that sounds petty....

As a fellow short person, I say, not at all. I remember high school. Teachers need all the help they can get.

aw, thanks! One of the deciding facts (other then I really don't trust myself not to get mom all over them because of their attitudes) was when a fellow teacher who's in junior high school asked me if I knew why secondary teachers got more pay, even though elementary school teachers need to know more subjects. He replied when I expressed ignorance:

"It's called combat pay"

I have a fifth grader who is starting to beat me at wrestling (and this is for fun. Can you imagine if he's teed?). So I know I won't be able to handle the varsity quarterbacks.

Having just watched Willy Wonka as a reasonabily good preemtion of Charmed I am able to sing your cat song with full accompaniment in my head. Good one!
