10. You have a desk, but no chair.
9. After your last Callan lesson you are anxious to get home and rake your shag carpet.
8. No longer seen on Fridays� happy hour (you are probably working that evening).
7. You have spent hundreds of zlotys copying material for your students (non-reimbursable).
6. After photocopying more material, you considered as extremely Xerox able for the school owner�s windshield your 2 weeks notice.
5. The school secretary has forgotten your name and hands you a stack of school pamphlets and a flyer route.
4. Students� lengthy pause after you ask them �How are you doing today?� trying to remember the answer.
3. Sick to death of hearing your students saying �yes� all the time.
2. You found yourself spending an inordinate amount of lessons sharing your classroom space and time with the French teacher.
1. �I put my books and my pen down here just a minute ago-and now they�re gone.�

I will probably regret having replied to this, but....

Are you F**KING nuts?!

You seem to be the kind of person who just goes around sh*t stirring.

Obviously you're not a 'real' teacher, just a drive-by shooting.

Now kindly B_GGER OFF!

Oddly, I'm amazed at your disgruntled tone and rattle. Equally amazing, it's the way you seem to hiss with all that glib rambling. Does the province of your unconscionable mind happen to be Australian? Are these your real credentials?
I don't care to ask but, are you at certain point in your cycle? Unless you're menopausal, for that will make perfect sense coming from a potty mouth with little or nothing remotely interesting to post.
I'm sure, if you try hard, you can crawl back to your hole and find a bottle opener that would help you stretch your coil.

Here's a question: Why would somebody who's ALLEGEDLY in Qatar be posting in the Polish forums?

Luckily I'm experienced enough to be amused rather than rattled by your meanderings.

You remind me of an English person who was posting in various Polish forums some time ago.

It seems to me that you have anointed yourself as this forum's closing act buffoon. While you continue to rattle (don't confuse it with "being rattled by") from your hole, and not the powder room, I already got over you. Inadvertently.
For someone who lives her life looking for a new set of eyes (do you seriously agree with that Proust's quotation?), or trifling, how is it that you managed to broom yourself from under the shag carpet with such temerities?
Which University in Poland do you pretend to work for?

I taught there. And I will soon teach over there again.

Are you sure that Poland is big enough for the both of you?

Cool

For her mouth as big as her rear view eye, not really. But with a fishing line and some Crisco oil...
And for my et in Arcadia ego, I definitely fit in. Last time, I did.

Sorry Khrystene.

Bindair...............

Are you by any chance familiar with a confederacy of dunces?

Dunces? Wait... I had to look it up.
Ah, the answer to your question- No, I ain't. The only Confederacy I know (comes capitalized) was formed by 11 Southern states that seceded from the United States during our Civil War.
Are you feeling any post-posting isolation? Do you crave any intellectual praise from the readers of this forum? Because if you do, you can have mine, really. It should be free. Or are you in need for attention?
By the way, S(w)aine?-what a pretty name! - are you related, or better yet, do you belong to the Suidae family?

Hi there,

You don't know it? then I can highly recommend it, the reason I asked was because your style of writing bares a remarkable resemblence to the dialogue of the main character in this superb book.

don't believe me? check it out

As your attorney I advise you to ask your compound library to aquire it asap, you'll be praising me to the hog heavens.

what's the matter with you why so defensive? did your search on svaine bare no fruit? this is not an intellectual challenge, for those in the know.....

Princeton you say? so much for that

Regards

Sveine

HaHa: Bindair=Ignatius J. Reilly. I can smell the Paradise gas from here. And perhaps Khrystene has now become his Myrna Minkoff, that lovable minx! Dead on!

Swine, or Sveine, or however you want to be called, next time you give a book reference, you could do it properly: APA, MLA citation style, whatever.
Surely, for a woman who hasn't finished college, you ought to be overwhelmed with all these new words amid a torrent of intoxicating fuss and bludgeoning. Perhaps you have trouble thinking fast. I sure hope you'll realize that being slovenly in thought won't stop you from getting some shock and drivel. And yet I can sense your unstated depression in your head, and how your skull has virtually started to cave in.
S, while I haven't known you long, I get the feeling that your best work is done behind the scenes, behind someone's back, or in the closet. It's not often I meet someone like you with such an eye for obeisance.
