Boogies and Interns

[judecorp]

Lefty Tonsil was a little sore today but doesn't appear swollen. Here's hoping it's just a fluke. I am so tired of being surrounded by sick kids, their germs, and their bodily fluids. Today in playgroup I actually had a 2-year-old dig a booger out of his nose, show it to me on his finger, and say, "Look at my boogie!" On Tuesday, he was telling a co-teacher and I all about how he likes to eat boogies because they are yummy.

Man, kids are GROSS!

I had a really good advocacy moment at work today. Too bad it wasn't for one of my clients. I supervise an undergraduate intern who observes 2 playgroups (mine and a coworker's). I don't have a problem with her but my coworker REALLY does. And today she made a couple of majorly inappropriate comments about my intern to me. They bothered me, so I actually sucked it up and left her a voicemail calling her on her unprofessionalism and lack of respect. And she called me back and agreed with me!

Sometimes being a grownup kind of rocks.

My temp was back down in the high 97s this morning, so I'm pretty sure it was just the crazy nightmare yesterday that caused my temp to soar to 98.6. That's not to say that I'm not secretly hoping today is just an implantation dip and it will go back up tomorrow... I'm just trying to be realistic. I am SO not a patient person.

Coworker Gina called to ask me how I've been feeling. It's so boring but I don't feel any different at all. I feel like people want some sort of exciting answer but I just plain don't have one to give. Oh well.

p.s. Mayonnaise is disgusting.

I feel a little guilty for laughing at the booger story.

Here's mine: when I was in high school, a classmate blew his nose and left a gigantic bubble on the tissue. The teacher saw it and was so awed she invited everyone to look.

Several years later, my brother is having a flatbed tow truck come over to pick up his (lowered) car for a trip to the shop. When the truck arrives, I think Hey, that guy looks familiar and I ask him if he was in [teacher's] American History class in [semester]. He looks a little surprised and says, "Yeah!", then laughs when I tell him I remember his giant snot bubble.

My brother thought it was hilarious because apparently he'd known the tow truck driver for years and didn't know I went to high school with him.

Most days, I agree. I can't actually think of anytime I wouldn't agree but I'm leaving open that possibility because I really like Vogon's chicken salad and I can't remember if there's mayonnaise in it.

I'm more of a Miracle Whip girl.

I have hated mayonnaise with the hatred of a thousand republicans for my entire life, but lately I have been WANTING IT like crazy. *I* better not be pregnant.

Dude, if you are pregnant, I will fall over.

And cover you with mayonnaise.

>Man, kids are GROSS!

And to think that you actually want to HAVE one of those little monsters! :)

I just thank whatever Deity you may believe in that there are those of you who are willing to put up with them. Otherwise, the race would go extinct!

Dude, my kid will never be that gross. ;)

Mayonnaise is the food of the gods.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

If that was true, would it really be made by HELL MAN'S??!?!??!?

But but...

When a food has to tell you that it's "REAL"... that scares me.
