More than ever, a certain teacher is being dumb. Here is a favorite quote from The Cello/Crazy Elephant:
~ "Do you really think anyone truly tries their best?"
That was after telling me I was a negative leader. Ha, ha... I find him amusing, especially how he always says that grades on how much an individual gets done compared to their ability. He loves to encourage us to do what he says, not as he does, considering that he included himself in the previous statement.
One of his most recent pastimes is sharing with Soupcan and I what (he thinks) I'm thinking. He had us take a look at one of the projects on the board of a Guitar Hero guitar recreated on Pro-E. Then he said, "Hirschy is thinking this guy must be lifeless if he has that much free time." He then admitted how it's probably true (about the guy having no life), which is odd considering that whenever he does business with my dad, he loves to stick around long after his appointments are over so he can chit-chat aimlessly. Whatever...
When Dad was a teacher at Snyder and Northrop, he loved the kids. He hated bad, hypocritical teachers, which they were more often than not. The head of the department of finances was over her head in debt. There was a janitor who would steal lunches from the lounge. It was my dad's job to start the coffee pot in the morning, and then empty the bowl of quarters at the end of the day. They had an honor system, where each cup was a quarter. Of course, tons would steal. Eventually the school had a machine installed where hot water was dispensed when you put a quarter in it. Then you mixed in some instant coffee yourself. But some teachers figured out you could hold the pressure button in at the back of the dispenser, so more than one person could get enough hot water out of each quarter. It was pretty pathetic. He tells a bunch of other stores, but I'm not going to get into those now.
I guess the point is, I'm getting really tired this particular hypocrite.

[After Denny had sex on the desk in his office without dropping the blinds on the windows into reception]
Shirley: This is unprofessional, Denny. You are setting a very bad example for the rest of the firm.
Denny: Understood. And from now on, those blinds go down before anybody else does.
