    Just taught my first class. It did not go particularly well.

    The TV was broken in the classroom, which meant a lot of my prepared stuff was unusable and it really flustered me. I got through it, just, but urgh i need to improve on this.

    The other teacher who came in to watch/assist if needed said it wasn't bad for my first class, but I'm pretty sure they were just trying to boost my confidence. Hopefully the first one is the worst.

    Bloody hell, we've got the auditors in.

    Lots of emails around with the gist of "If an auditor stops you in the corridor only tell them your name and grade. Do not say another word without the company lawyer present. Remember that Chemistry Lab 2 does not and has never existed"

    That sounds like something they used to tell us before deployment regarding capture by enemy forces.

    It'll be okay dude, you trained for this; just remember shredding takes too long and carry your files and laptop directly to the incinerator, then go pick up your 'Jon Smith' name tag from HR.

    The construction worker grafitti in the portapotties have proven to be entertaining:
    In one, with arrows pointing at the sanitizer and TP nook:
    "FOR THE LOVE OF JEBUS, REFILL THESE"

    In another, concerning cock talk:
    "I call mine the throbing python of love"
    "WTF is throbing? Do you mean throbbing?"
    "He misspelt a word, BURN HIM."

    Throbing is when a cock throbs so hard that it starts to flash intermittently.

    We had to drown two interns this morning because they hadn't actually signed the sheets saying they were up to date with the quality system.

    Hrgblurgle I'm going stir crazy. Been staying home to save money till congress gets their heads out of their asses, and it's driving me up a wall. Unemployment is being douchers and giving me the run around. I guess I'm going to the doctor some time this week for this pain in my chest/arm. At least it's on the wrong side to be heart related!

    Starting to get disenchanted with the job-finding process. Umpteen-thousand resumes sent out with nary a response. The one job I interviewed twice for (while I was still employed, nearly two months ago) has yet to make a decision.

    Yeah, as a matter of fact I'm in southern Fairfax County: About 20 miles outside of Washington DC. The city itself is Springfield.

    Hmm, what about this?

    Applied. I'm short on the degree and I haven't done Cisco CLI work exclusively in a couple years, but we'll see.

    We picked up so many fake ID's at the bar this weekend.

    Two of them looked like legit new TX IDs. But they did not feel real.

    One guy was upset I turned down his slam piece and took her ID and wouldn't let her in as a minor and told him to move his beer away from another minor at the table.

    I'm good at reading lips. And he was talking an awful lot of shit from across the room. Then he told the waitress to call me a "scrub". She told him to fuck off.

    I just kept staring at him and smiling. He left at some point and was not game enough to say anything while leaving.

    I love football season.

    My boss just canceled our daily meetings, saying that we need more time serving clients and less time meeting.

    These daily meetings were where we'd discuss the issues going on with our clients so everyone was aware, as opposed to people just hoarding information.

    Sleep? What's that? I'm expecting that there is going to be a big fight in the next 2 days over the fact that we aren't checking our email over the weekend unless we are on call.
