I really don't think it is hypocritical. The issue isn't that she's knotting at her JOB it's that she's knotting at a job where not paying attention can have negative effects on children.

Whereas I'm sitting at a desk in an almost empty office and if this flyer gets created now or 10 minutes from now there will be no huge consequence to the world.

I do have stuff to do. I have deadlines I'll need to meet. If I manage my time poorly, I'll be here late or working on the weekend to get it done. If I don't (Which I won't), I'll be leaving as soon as my pre demo meeting is done.

But it's pretty easy to start stuff on my computer and let it run while I play here. I'm responsible for managing my time. If my coworkers need something from me, that gets done first before I knot. I don't go to meetings and knot while I'm expected to be participating in the meeting.

That there is the difference.

[QUOTE]OWN- I agree. I sat through that whole video thing that went through the "timeline" of what happened, and I was very disappointed with the ending. Plus if that really was his.... it was... lopsided. Or something.

Maybe the football shot to his junk the other day helped straighten it out.

I hope he gets something straightened out because that shiitshow on Monday was just hard to watch.

NuggetBrain · October 2010

I think everybody is assuming she sits in a classroom full of kids all day. My BFF is a reading teacher that does mini-sessions. Half of her day is with kids. The other half is lessons plans, grading papers, etc. So it's entirely possible that she's knotting during that time. One of my mom's friends is a high school teacher. She gets at least one period each semester, sometimes two, to do paperwork.

I went to bed halfway through the second quarter. I didn't want to watch anymore. They are full of the suck this year. FULL OF THE SUCK.

That would be great, but we're not assuming. She's flat out said that she knots with kids in the room during her teaching periods.

Hmm. I take that back then, but I still think knotting at work to rip on someone for knotting at work is stupid. That's just my opinion, and I'm entitled to it even if everyone else thinks I'm wrong.

MattsPenguin · October 2010

I would like to flame my parents for NOT calling me yet today (it's my b-day). My mom has done this the past few years with lame excuses like "Well, you always call me after football games" or "You call me when you land after a flight."

It's still my birthday! You could leave a voicemail.

Okay, I know this sounds bratty, and they're probably waiting until after work, since I am CLEARLY getting something accomplished.

This and I think I'm also influenced by things I've seen her post about hating her students and stuff.

Hmmm, LVB's first response to me last Friday was to tell me to chill the fuuck out, and I'm the ridiculous one. Hookay, then.

When I was in middleschool (can't remember what grade). On my birthday my mom got me up. I got ready for school. Ate breakfast with her, went through our whole routine and the whole time I kept wondering when she was gonna say something about my birthday. Finally we get to school, she pulls into the lot and tells me the usual "Ok, I love you. Have a great day". I start crying in the car and she looks at me completely clueless and was like "What's wrong with you??" I tell her its my birthday. She turns completely red-faced and felt horrible. She was almost kept me home because she felt so bad. Lol. Every year she loves to tell that story to everyone :D

crfische · October 2010

Why yes, yes you can.

squirrly · October 2010

Nugget, it's not that she's knotting at work. It's that she's knotting at work while there are students in her classroom who clearly need help as their test scores are too low. I don't knot during meetings or when somebody's in my cube. I knot in between other tasks, when the only person I'm impacting is ME. If she wants to knot during planning period or during class change, cool. And I said that earlier. I just think it's not a great idea to do that while she has students in her classroom.

As for the mini-lesson idea - she indicated that she does a mini-lesson, assigns HW, and then plops in her chair and knots. Not mini-lesson, small activity to reinforce, repeat, repeat, change class. If they're only getting a mini-lesson every day, how are they covering enough stuff? Mini-lessons would be reasonable if there were more than one.

I have to flame Wrkn. Cat-hater. We can't be friends.

You have to know Joni. She's an evil, evil cat. She sheds, she pissed on my bathroom rugs, and she wines.

I'd totally take a hit out on her.

akhensley81 · October 2010

I flame the girl who called my office yesterday and told me that she couldn't call me earlier because she had a yeast infection.

...who then called me again just a few minutes ago to let me know she was feeling better now.

Yeahgreatthanks.

We celebrated my youngest brother's birthday on the wrong day for like a decade. My mom didn't notice until we found his birth certificate, saying it was actually the day before the one we thought was his birthday.

MP, my parents are notorious for not calling me on my birthday and it pisses me off each and every time it happens (at least 3 times in the last 10 years). I hope they call you.

georgia_bride09 · October 2010

I want a cat that wines.

Cats that shed need brushing and cats that pee outised their litter boxes need the vet.

That doesn't read evil to me.

I do love that her name is Joni. Random.

Stacks, NO SHE DIN'T.

Ok. TMI. I know way too much about bodily functions of people you deal with at work. Urine tests, yeast infections, etc. Dial the gross back a bit, would 'ya?
