Living the dream.

So I'm not claiming to be Patty Polite or anything, but 98% of highschooler's are just plain rude. Here I am doing a little song and dance for the little jerks, even making them gourmet food to eat, for FREE, I might add, and rarely do I even get so much as a thank you. Where on earth were these kids taught to try food someone graciously made for them and to simply respond with a "SICK this is nasty," or "this smells like fertilizer." I mean those are just examples. But, seriously how rude, if you don't like it keep your dirty little mouth shut. I think my time in this high school career focused field might be dwindling. I mean it is kinda ironic for someone who didn't exactly love high school to take a job where they have to go right back to it. I mean that would be like a pedophile working in a retirement home, it just doesn't make sense. I am just scared that one of these times some kid is just going to provoke me to my breaking point at which I would do something I might really regret. Rereading that I realise it sounds very threatening. But my "breaking point" typically just involves crying a lot and getting really red in the face and acting like a big 3 year old.
On a happier note I was able to live out one of my many life goals yesterday. I had the privilege to live "The Office" in real life. I always tell Sara when we watch that show that I want to work there and hang out with Jim and Pam and Dwight ext, well not Kevin (the slow talking fat man) he is not included in the "ext." But anywho- we had a mid year meeting with all the people on the inside, the people who sit on the phones all day in the office. As it turns out, the "inside people" are the cast from The Office. The lady I saw first was Phyllis, she was a bit thinner in real life, then I saw that weasel Ryan and when I got into the back room where they were all having cake for some weird office celebration I saw the entire cast. It was amazing. They all had their special inside jokes and bickered with each other just like on the show. When it came time for team bonding we went into a special conference room, (just like on the show!) and played a work version of Jeopardy. The boss of the insiders (Michael Scott, duh) ran the show and made awkward comments the entire time. The game almost had to end early because the two teams started to get too competitive and a fight almost broke out about which team got to stand on the side of the table closest to the bell that had to be pushed to answer the question. It was intense. But I was loving it, I just loved watching the interaction, it was an office environment I had never known. I just sat and smiled from ear to ear taking it all in, for just a moment, I was living the dream.
