I !LUV your awesome dum dum cup.
I've worked with several dum dums in my life. The biggest dum dum told me that I should quit. I'm not really in the mood to talk about dum dums.
Did you ever just show up to work without time to stop for coffee? I work in an elementary school so it's not always easy to find coffee. Today I had just enough time to bring water from home but from there I had to rush off to class without coffee.
All I had is cold water. Because of covid the water machines are turned off at school. And even if I had coffee I was not allowed to drink it in any place with people around.
It was 8:50 am and my only hope was to pick up some instant coffee pack from the fifth grade teachers office and mix it with my bottle of cold water. I rushed to class and the kids saw my water bottle was brown. Elementary school students always say exactly what is on their mind. It was weird... "Teacher... Why is your water brown?"
It was about the worst coffee I ever had. But I'm just thankful at least it wasn't decaf. The only thing worse than instant coffe is instant decaf. Why even bother if it is instant and decaf?
By the way, I figured out how your communties work. There are only two:
The Weekend
(This community to get through the weekend.)
The Cinnamon Cup Coffee Community
(This community for those getting through the week on a cup of coffee.)
Lol...Well I'm glad you had that cold bottle of instant disappointment or else you might have issues some beatings if those kids played up...I've heard that sort of thing gets an elementary school teacher into strife.
Nice call on the communities, @millycf1976 has the week covered and I have the weekends sorted.
Coffee is one of the best drugs the still sell over the counter. I followed Milly today^^
Indeed...Coffee is life. And yep, Milz is worth a follow.
Thanks for the recommendation Galen:)
Most welcome. 😉
I totally agree with you. Thanks for the follow, and you seem to have great content too:)
Thanks @millycf1976. I don't have enough coffee content but plenty of cinnamon.
@mineopoly Lucky you! I love cinnamon, and always have cinnamon powder available. I struggled to find the cinnamonbark for years, but it's sold in many supermarkets here in the UK, so I do have now. I still use it sparingly though:)
It would be hard to make drinks without cinnamon sticks. We get ours from Vietnam. It has some dirt and sometimes buds in it so I put it in boiling water first and wash it off. Then I use it for drinks. I would think the UK would have cinnamon sticks. How do they survive that nasty dark winter without cinnamon sticks?
Ok, that's so useful to know:)
Cheers for that!
Though I like decaf, this sounds like a nightmare
Yes. At that point the macchiato is only a dream. !PIZZA
I taught secondary school. I often took a smoothie for brekky in a jar. Often lovely colours due to things like green alfalfa yes, you know.
Student 1: What's that? Looks like something Shrek would drink.
Student 2: looks like something Shrek would bath in.
And etc. They never ACTUALLY wanted to know what was in it.
It seems that's the difference between primary and secondary. The secondary kids just want to tell a joke. Primary kids are actually curious for any answer. Something in the brain happens around puberty. Boys start to have two brains controlling them. I'm still not sure what goes on in girls and I've studied health science as major for four years.
Haha well girls are either bitchy or studious and rolling eyes at boys. Boys are dumb as unless they aren't, and the best thing is they don't hold grudges. Tough gig!
I used to teach middle school. I am assigned to teach two weeks at a nearby all girls high school. Wish me luck.
!PIZZA
ACTUALLY, I love senior high - we don't call it that, but I've always taught Year 9 to 12 here, Year 12 being the equivalent of GCSE or leaving year before university. Basically kids just want to be loved and heard. Tell them you like their earrings or soemthing, but not in a creepy way, and you'll be good.
Cool. Thanks^^
DON'T TURN YOUR BACK!
(2/5) gave you
