I hate it when people complain that teaching isn't a "real" job because its a 10 month job, or when they complain that their tax dollars are paying for us year round (i.e. my 12 paychecks instead of 10). Well, screw you all! I've done manual labor jobs... I've done office jobs... Nothing is more "real" thank teaching. its a 24/7 job that requires lots of physical strength, stamina, mental toughness, emotional stability, and self confidence. I've busted my butt lifting stuff for a foreman, and i've done office jobs that deal with lots of money transfers. I'm not discounting your jobs, but if you can find a job more demanding than a pre k autistic teacher, which is what I am, i'll sell you a bridge in brooklyn, and yes, that includes white collar jobs just as it includes the guys taring the roads in the dead of july.
I don't get upset about arguing teaching jobs with people on the basis that their job is any less hard than anyone elses...anyone arguing that point would just be ridiculous. Teaching is certainly a tough job, probably one of the toughest.
I have however had NUMEROUS teachers complain to me about how they can't take vacation during the school year, and they can't just take off whenever they want. This I have absolutely no use for. you get 2 and a half friggin months off a year, during prime vacation season. If you can't get your fill of relaxation then, you probably need to be kicked in the nads.

I really hate stupid truck drivers. For example, let's go on about one of my conversations today...
I send a driver a message on his qualcomm in his truck saying: Hey, I have a hauling permit for you. Please send me back a fax number so I can send it to you.
Instead of sending a message, he calls. This is the beginning of the big waste of time. It becomes apparent that he has not received my qualcomm yet, and is just calling in to see if I have his permit.
I, of course, reply: Yes, where would you like me to send it?
To which he replies: I'll send you a number in a little bit on the qualcomm. I'm about 40 minutes away from a truck stop.
And as we are ending the waste of time conversation, I hear his qualcomm beep in the background that my original message has arrived.
WTF??!? If you didn't have a fax number in the first place, why the hell did you call? Call me back when you have one!
The best part of it all is, after we finished this conversation that made me upset, and he got my qualcomm, he felt compelled to send a message back saying: "Ill send you a number in a little bit" even though we had literally just hung up the phone discussing this very thing.

Teams are now figuring out how to beat us. They know that the only way to play with the speed on this team is to stay on top of us and give us no ice to work with. It has forced us to play more defensive...and then when we do play aggressive, it's almost like we do so blind, and leave ourselves open to the 2 and 3 on 1's.

My Dad just called me and said that they had someone in the booth talking with them, that used to be a Sabre, and said something about the Sabres getting a new logo for next year, and that it would be unveiled at the all star break?
Did anyone else catch this? Was he just saying it in jest, or was he being real?
That would be kind of crappy...all these people went out and bought the new stuff and now they are changing it?

YES! This is great...I bet a soda with the aforementioned Flyer fan, so I think tomorrow I will show up wearing my Blue and Gold throwback and drink the entire soda in front of him...
Maybe make him take a picture holding the empty soda bottle.

We need to win this game tonight. I got this guy at work, a huge flyers fan, that does nothing but talk about how horrible his life is since the Sabres beat them in the playoffs last year. Almost as bad as when Tampa beat them years ago, he says. Then I have to listen to him every day talk about the friggin Flyers and the Phantoms, and how Philly has "re-built" this team specifically to beat the Sabres. Then, on Saturday, he went out of the way and Guaranteed a victory.
I told him his mouth was writing checks his team can't cash.
God, I hate Pennsylvania teams.

It's not over....But we have to stop playing Philly's game, and get back to our game....too many stupid penalties tonight...we can't play goon hockey, it just doesnt work for us.
Can someone just play a loop of Herb Brooks on the bench?
"Play Your Game!"

My wife had this happen to her. She took a job thinking that she would be talking and being a friend to the elderly at an old people's home. It was explained that you would be someone to keep them company in the evenings, and paid pretty decent to do so (for a part time job, anyway).
Well, turned out the REAL job description was giving baths and changing depends....ALL NIGHT...
She was out of there before her first shift was over.
