What's the latest in people's lives?

How funny. As I'm reading this, "I can't dance" is playing on my speakers at work

Hey, every kid needs a bit of motivation at some point or another.

And I provide "motivation".

You laugh, but today I had a kid say I threw him back into class. BUT, if one of his feet didn't come off the ground. Then it doesn't count as throwing.

Were you stood on his foot as you punched him?

[Sionnach Glic]

At a wild guess, I'm going to say yes.

[Deepcrush]

I think I said before I've never had to punch any of the kids. My intention is to take them down without causing harm if possible.

I don't know if this is true or not, but somebody told me that a teenage body isn't as developed as it looks. You get a "grown up" of similar size who punches a teenager they can cause more harm than they intend, or more than if they punch another adult.

Again......don't know if its true.....just something I was told.

[Deepcrush]

Its very true. The teenage body is, pound for pound, not equal to a full grown adult. Their bones haven't hardened over, nor have their muscles finished developing. This is more the case for boys then for girls.

I can easily over power kids larger then myself and there is the constant worry that I may over react and cause more harm then needed.

Well I finally got around to updating my blog. There are two new posts, one from last month in response to racists comments by a Tea Party speaker, and one from this month in response to an email I received from a conservative friend. http://thesituationreport.wordpress.com/ Both reference "Blazing Saddles" in one way or another

Well, this morning was the first time in a while I NEEDED the alarm clock to wake up. Hated it, there.

Ironic, today was the first time in a while I got to ignore my alarm.

In other news, my work put in new hand driers in the bathroom. Amazingly, they actually work damn well, and they look like no other drier I've ever seen.

I'm sorry, but from the side it looks like a freaky paper shredder... I would not put my hands in that.

You know, it does, doesn't it? And they do call it The Airblade.

Yeah... not putting my hands in it.

In other news....my in-laws who still have custody of my kids have forbidden me from going to my 10 year old daughters birthday party unless I start paying them back some of the money that my ex owes them. It feels like they are hold them for ransom.
