I work in an IT department for a law firm as a software engineer.  Just so happens I've got a cousin who is an attorney with the firm.  Well in my first couple of months on the job, we were rolling out new PCs to everyone, and I ended up with the task of migrating my cousins old PC to his new one.  I DESPERATELY wanted to prank him, and put one of those screen savers on there that looks like it's destroying everything.  I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have gotten me fired, but wasn't sure it set the best impression for the first week there.

While it might be terrible, I would love watching what my fifth graders would do if I put them in charge for a day, or possibly a week.  I think it would be a very interesting experiment to see how they would organize themselves and what they would decide to work on (or if they could get organized and make decisions).

note: Starbucks doubleshots make me feel sick.  I don't know if it's all the caffeine or the other junk in it, but my brain goes all wacko when I ingest that stuff.  Most of Starbucks' other products sit perfectly fine with me, though!  

Alright, I'm a stay at home mom, so I don't know if I qualify for this or not. :o)

With winter coming, it means battling David into tons of bulky clothing and then stuffing him into the car seat. It can be quite the battle. When I'm through with that, I'm usually a little frustrated and more than tired. Typically, it takes to the point of just pulling onto the road for David to decide that he's too hot or wants something that has fallen out of reach onto the floor. I would like to be able to reach behind me, snap open the car seat belt, and let him roam about to take his coat off or pick up the stuff on the floor rather than stopping, unbuckling him, undressing him, fighting him back into the seat, and strapping him back in. This would not get me fired, per say, but it would get me a pretty hefty ticket.

Oh, and I can't drink coffee anymore, so I am playing to win for either Luke or Amy. That depends on wether or not Luke enters the contest.

Rum and Coke.

Hmmm....there are so many things that I would like to do at work - let's see....first off, tell the patients to GO HOME!  You are not sick...well, usually.  Second, quit defrauding the government and pay your own hospital bill - if you can afford an iphone and have your nails done and your hair done, then you obviously don't need Medicaid paying for your ER visit, when you simply could have gone to the doctor tomorrow.  Quit wasting my precious time and energy.  Last but not least, I would like to bring my kids with me to work so that I could keep earning a paycheck while I endure these next few months of single mommy hood.  So you see, I really need some Starbucks coffee to keep on going!!!  :)

oops - I forgot my email - jesssmilelots@Hotmail.com - but you should have known that!

I would LOVE to put a note on my door telling the MA's and front office staff to send all of my patients across the street so I could just curl up on a nice blanket on the floor and enjoy my book. :)

I still want free delivery!

If you'll excuse me a minute, I'm going to have a  cup of starbucks coffee.

I can't really get fired from my job, because I volunteer, but I would like to purposely put mistakes in the church bulletin and news letter just to see if anyone reads it. Such as leave the "g" off of sing. And the song title would read Hark, the herald angels sin! Of course I have done that already and not on purpose either, but I did find it funny at the time and still do.

I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to crawl on top of my desk (which also happens to be the front desk at the office) and have a dance party.  Especially on Fridays.  Last Friday I had to settle on just singing "Yellow Submarine" from my chair.  But maybe next Friday you'll find me unleashing my dance moves from on top of the desk for all to see...of course that would be after waking up from my afternoon nap under my desk.

When a parent comes and says "I didn't know Billy was doing poorly in math." I would love to say, "Really? Did you not look at their papers that come home? What about the website that you can see every individual assignment as well as current grades? You could have tried actually talking to your child and seeing how they were doing." However, I fear that would make me seem rude.

On the dealing with kids side of things, I think a simple group of voice recordings would be helpful. They could be like; "Did you look it up?" "What did the paragraph say?" "What is the ratio of sleep:video games/tv:homework in your life?" "Did you ask for help from mom/dad/mom's boyfriend/Dad's girlfriend/aunt/uncle/sister/brother/grandma/grandpa/guardian/caregiver/whoever is taking care of you today?"

I think all in all, a good mix of honesty and bluntness would do the trick.

Ok ok ok. I know. I forgot. Here it is. bisquick0312@hotmail.com, although you should know that already since I'm your sister. :o)

Translated typing gibberish: I would have a day where I wear my pj's all day long, drink chocolate milk, and eat only goldfish and taco. I would sit and play pbskids.org for hours on end, only to be interrupted by taking a break to watch Dora and Diego movies from the library. I would not nap and would go to bed extremely late and would not get in trouble for being really cranky and tired and whiny. There would be no rules, so I could scream at the top of my lungs and pull the cats' tails. Ah, now that would be great.

There were about 10 big boxes delivered to the office today.  Someone suggested we build a fort with them...I thought it was a great idea and it made me think of this Starbucks contest!

I am dying to answer the phone with a fun name like Belinda or Helga. This would be excellent for the cases when I get a call from someone who wants a free pair of replacement shoes because the laces are half an inch longer on one shoe versus the other... Crazy shoe people! Buy a new pair of laces!

I have a very physical group of students with some who are leaders, some who are followers, some who resist being led, and some who just are. While it is obviously morally wrong and I would not want my students to be harmed, I wonder who would come out on top in a survival of the fittest competition. I wonder if they would organize or just go at it. If they would make any alliances or go as individuals. And, I wonder, how awful is it that this has come to mind?
