I have a job interview next week, so that's awesome! Well, kind of. I was excited for about 30 minutes after I got the phone call before I realized how outside of my comfort zone the whole thing is.

I have to demonstrate a science experiment…
On a stage…
In French…

So yeah, this will probably be an incredible disaster.
But job or no job, I'm kind of relieved to see that at least there's nothing horribly wrong with my resume/cover letter that's causing places not to call me back.

There is nothing like starting a Sunday after receiving a morning phone call that technology has failed and I am needed at work three hours before my start time. It is nice to feel like an essential member of a team.

It was as if I was day dreaming on my bed, wrapped up in my sheets and basking in the morning sun debating whether I wanted to sleep-in or drive to a yoga class when my morning was decided for me.

The good news is that I get to leave work two hours early.

Oh yeah, I am scheduled to work in my favorite little classroom for two days in the upcoming week, so Happy Times are Here Again!

I had one heck of a freakout moment. Just woke up from that repeating nightmare again (where I think I'm awake, but every action sends me down a cliff) and found I couldn't move my body… for maybe a few minutes. I'm fine now, but that was a pretty scary experience. I don't think I want to go to sleep anymore…

Congrats on Banes for getting reviewed! :D
Good on you Genejoke for doing it- with your gang.

@Kawaii- are you tired?


—————–

The Quackcast today is on causing offence-
It was a really interesting topic and a lot more varied than you'd think. I don't think we covered all the aspects of it.
And it's not just limited to the “errr, everything is too PC these days” whining or “OMG, that's a trigger warning!” stuff.

I should probably make a thread about it.
Genejoke had one about “isims” but that's only such a tiny part of it.

That is actually not an uncommon occurrence. It's a nightmare followed by sleep paralysis. Get a sleep study to see if there are any underlying health issues like sleep apnea.

It's really nothing to lose sleep over. Just so long as you don't see Greys or Old Hags you should be fine.

Great. Now I REALLY don't want to sleep as I don't want to encounter grey old hags in my dreams…

And… the original Mr. Willy Wonka has passed on. Farewell, Gene Wilder. I hope you had a great life before your number came up. :(

I sleep whenever I feel tired. I spray my pillow with lavender essential oil and I fall into a deep, deep sleep. It turns out that the large white van I have been driving for work is a very comfortable place to sleep. I am slowly taming that beast of a vehicle.

As a matter of fact, I am about to leave work early and spend the next 24 hours at a vineyard, resort, and spa in Temecula.

I went to bed at 9.30 last night. Super early for me because I usually go to bed between 12 and 2.30am… (ideally 12am)
I slept till 3am, looked on the net for a while on my phone, then after 4am I slept till 7am when one of my cats really really wanted to cuddle…
I had a pillow on my head, which she decided to sit on till I acknowledged her!

She chatted at me and snuggled… Then I slept for another half and hour or so. Just like a Saturday! Lots of sleep. :)

I had a dream about a sword expert guy visiting my house and testing a sword I gave him… It was stupid dream.

@Kawaii- I hope the vineyard is great!

Every once in a while I Google myself to see how my name sakes are getting on
The math professor has some new ACT workbooks out and the other 114 on linked in and 90 on FB are keeping things to a low roar.

The I searched bravo1102 and found a nice Mexican restaurant and some guy in Ontario was using it as a handle on a dating site. This calls for further research because this guy better not be proclaiming to his potential dates that he's the creator of a slew of webcomics. I've been using this handle for over ten years and this guy has never come up before.


And it's not April. And I have no desire to go trolling for singles in Canada.

That would be Banes. He's obviously chosen your nick along with his famous cartoon voice impression of you for his Lothario persona.
The women go WILD for that Bravo name and Ed Wyn voice combo. Sexy ;)

Speaking of sexy, I've finally ordered the perfect slippers to go with my silk pyjamas: midnight blue velvet one with curly toes. I hope they fit!

Scary part is, this guy has posted a picture and it looks like Banes. (I have looked upon his true countenance and there is a definite resemblance)

But then all dark haired guys with beards tend to look alike.

sexy? “adventurer” = toking construction worker? (“Yeah, man. It looked level to me. I think”). Haha hahahaha.

Nah, blue velvet slippers with elf toes sounds much sexier.

Maybe, if I ever get back to sleep, I will dream of Canadian elves building a smoke shack.

Maybe the reason I woke at 2:30 AM after only 2 hours of sleep was precisely to find a good subject to dream about.

And he speaks Portuguese. What is it with me and Pork chops? Everybody I see anymore speaks Portuguese.


Trump is wrong it's not Mexicans, it's Brasilians and Portuguese.

The bizarro Bravo1102 was probably born November 2 since he lists Scorpio as his sign.

I hope everyone is having an eventful day. Yesterday while in class, the student I was working with became so upset when I corrected his work that he bit down on my left forearm and did not let go. He did not break the skin, but I poured a ton of arnica over the teeth marks to prevent bruising. The good news is that the swelling and bruised skin is less noticable this morning.

Earlier this morning, I was driving on base when I saw someone had hit a deer, I mean a doe (a female deer), before I arrived at the scene. The doe's eyes were wide open like a deer in headlights and it was in the middle of the road. It reminded me of how I was driving to work on that same road last weekend when I saw the profile of a majestic gray wolf in front of me. As I was getting ready to swerve around it, I turned on my left blinker and the wolf moved to the side and out of danger.

Considering I have used the handle over 14 years and how much questionable content there is online under that name on multiple boards; I really doubt a widower with four kids would wish to be associated with that. I am sure he'll change his handle to avoid confusion with the talentless dweeb who does all the semi pornagraphic comics and artwork.

He's trying to hook up with a nice woman. Any prospect could take one look at the art under bravo1102 or any of the threads or posts I have done and she'll run away in terror assuming this innocent construction worker is this doll loving pervert.

Perhaps who he's REALLY after… is you?
He's just too shy.
This is his secret way of trying to hook up with his fantasy lover… After all these years of loving your comics and posts on various model making boards he's finally attracted your attention with this secret message.
Will love blossom? :D

@Kawaii- I remember the song from the Sound of Music. I will always know a Doe is a female dear, Re is a drop of golden sun, Mi is a name I call myself and Far is a long, long way to run, So a needle pulling thread, La a note to follow So, Te a drink with jam and bread…

I know his type. He's merely using me to get to Banes or worse you…

It's some kind of Canadian conspiracy to destroy the Duck.

He could even have found out about the bravo bug.

Speaking of sleep, it's one of my fave things at the moment. Yesterday (Sunday night), I went to bed at about 6.30pm, and just snoozed on and off until about 7.45 am. It was glorious!
BEST way to start a Monday morning. :)

And I've completed my silk pyjamas with a pair of velvet slippers.



I'll probably need a Fez now, with a really long tassel… Maybe I'll ask Tantz to try and find me a traditional Greek style one?

But carrots would be a better colour match.

I subbed for a second grade class today and I survived. :) Now I know that first grade is not my cup of tea.

Ever had one of these weeks? Last Tuesday, I showed up for a job that someone had personally asked me to fill for them only to find it was picked up by someone else on the computer database before I arrived. I ended up throwing my arms up in the air, treating myself to my favorite pizza and then driving to the movie theater to watch the latest Michael Fassbender film solo.

I had already been booked for Thursday a few weeks out, so last night I had to turn down a job from one of my favorite teachers :(, then this morning I had to turn down a job from my good friend (who is also an intervention behavior aide) :(, and while in class, I received a message from a teacher at another school asking if I could sub in her class. My first reaction was, “Where were all these requests last Tuesday?!?”

It all worked out for the best. I have been on a constant 7-day work week schedule since last month and having a day off (albeit forced) was exactly what I needed to catch up on some much needed sleep. I think my body needed a break even though my mind was still active.

Drawing hands is pretty tough. I think I'll throw this video in. Maybe it will help both of us (I can draw hands just not very well). Yep. I watch a lot of Drawing with Jazza videos. :)
