Today was Teacher's Day... but for everything that I understand about
the world it could have been Wacky Day.
Here is an inconclusive list of everything wacky I saw or experienced
today:
- a smoke filled apartment building due to some wok experimentation
- a co-worker enter a banquet with wads of tissue stuck up her nose
- a lady clipping her fingernails at the banquet table
- a man pour foam from his beer on the carpeted floor
- the vice president of our school massacre a popular chinese tune
- people just picking up random open bottles from nearby tables to take
a swig
- a teacher who I've never heard speak English try to persuade me to go
to KTV
- a fruit basket that required two students to carry it
- a mind numbing array of "banquet" attire: everything from sweatshirts
to chupas to suits to jeans
- a beggar woman point to my students wad of cash when he said "I've no
money"
- a 9:30p visitation from a group of students wishing to give me a gift
- etc
Teacher's Day: a chance to be blown away by the adoration and kindness
of your students and the rapidity with which your co-workers get trashed
at a banquet. Happy Wacky Day everyone!
