Misunderstood Message

Yesterday after school I got an email from a coworker that made me laugh. My email settings tell the computer to display the first bit of the email messages, and her message said this:

“Thank you! Get out.” Is what I thought I saw. Like she was saying I should go home. Ha! I was done for the day anyway, so I was getting ready to “get out”

When I opened the email, I saw that all she has written was “Thank you!” and her email concluded with some advertisement words that said to “Get Outlook” email service. Heh.

…ok, so maybe that’s not hilarious, but still, it made me chuckle. I guess sometimes it’s the small things.

Construction Compass

We’ve been doing Constructions in 8th grade math. I rather enjoy them. But demonstrating things on the board is hard. I didn’t have a giant compass, so I made one out of a couple of bamboo pieces and masking tape. It wasn’t very good, because it wouldn’t stay open the same amount, and my constructions were compromised.

But then I looked online, and saw that there are actual compasses made for white boards. I got one! It works famously!

Prohibited Polish

I have always used a kind of metal polish called Simichrome Polish for handbells. It really does the job.

The time has come for us to polish the handbells at school, so I went on Amazon to order some Simichrome. I got an error message:

Simichrome polish isn’t sent to my address. In fact, it isn’t sent to anywhere in California. I think it has to do with the chemicals in the polish.

Movie

I went to a movie yesterday. It’s been forever since I did that. I used to go to movies almost every weekend. Have I changed, or have the movies?

Anyway, I went to see Dune Part 2 yesterday. It was different from the 1984 movie. I’m not sure if it follows the book. I have recently read the book (in the last couple years), but I can’t remember it for some reason.

But how exciting! I saw a movie!

Dashing and Drama

We did a jog-a-thon fundraiser at school yesterday. When we did that in Maui, Josh got out the classroom flags, and the kids ran with them. It was fun, so I got my American flag out yesterday. Lots of kid ran with it. I decided to take a lap too.

In the evening, I went to a play. One of my students from last year is in his high school play. It’s the musical Anastasia. I liked the story and music, and the kids did a great job. I may have gotten teary a few times. The play was in a theater house in Hermosa Beach.
