The Ides of March

[cornerofmadness]

Oh yes, I AM bewaring them now. I'm humbled by their power to fuck up my day. As if Dell wasn't enough, I chose today to grade my lab exams. Well, now several shots of tequila later, I'm just quietly sobbing to myself (well not really, mostly I'm picturing me with a scapel and free rein to murder the incompetent). I mean seriously when I tell you that I'm only putting TWO cats on the exam and on one I'm tagging only the serratus anterior and the latissimisis Dorsi and on the other I'm only tagging the biceps and triceps and asking for the movement and that's EXACTLY what I do. NO ONE should get it wrong instead of 80% of you who managed to not listen and make me insane.

And so I decide, enough test checking, I'm going to check out Curves since it's the only game in town. Well, I get there, it's empty and the person behind the counter is a student who's FAILING my course. She's in no mood to explain anything to me. I don't like the idea of Curves, I just don't. 30 second work outs on circular equipment set up in a rickety assed building that wants direct access to my bank account or they charge me 10$ more a month for the priveledge...Um, maybe not. Hell it takes me 30 seconds to get up off that equipment and move. Maybe I'll check into that dude doing yoga in his house first. Goddess. I could cry.

you're brave wanting to get that close to me :-P

The only reason to get the answer wrong when given the question before a test is to give a better answer than what the instructor is using.

[shakes head] Kids these days.

Ever consider kickboxing?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I would love to get back into kickboxing but there's nothing around here. I'm probably better with yoga...maybe it'll lower my temper

You'd be tempted to use your students as targets anyway...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no kidding

I think I should do yoga too... it can't be bad.

I loved yoga when I used to take it. The ad in the library says groups. I could do that. I woudln't be comfortable one on one with this guy

Sorry you have such idiots for students. And that you didn't like Curves. (My location insists that you have an appointment to check it out so they can show you the equipment when explaining the program.) I know that it's not for everyone.

Well I plan on maybe going back if the yoga thing doesn't pan out (Yoga is more my style) when someone OTHER than my failing student is there because I would like to know how to use the equipment. Some I know others I dont'

I do yoga twice a day, and occasionally in my office. Does wonders, I'm sure, though I'm scared at how scatterbrained and moody I'd be without it.

...I try not to think about it.

i figure I ought to do something before I go homicidal and wipe out my class AND my family

[sita-137.livejournal.com]

Indeed... Yoga might be worth a shot. Can't drink all the time, after all.

Can you email me your address? I keep losing yours... And I do think a care package is in order.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah I can do that

and here's hoping the yoga dude isn't too scary

[sita-137.livejournal.com]

The very phrase Yoga Dude is scary. :)
