Stupid people annoy me
Obviously by the title I’m in a bit of a mood. What set me off, you ask? I finally realized how stupid a few of the teachers are in my building. I’m not doubting their intelligence, just their common sense. We had a faculty meeting today and a directive by our principal that should have taken about 2 minutes to explain took 20 b/c of several ridiculous questions. Quit wasting my time, people. Ugh.
But the good news is that after a great workout (45 tough minutes on the treadclimber, 960 calories GONE) I feel much better. Exercise is definitely great therapy.
More good news is that I’m so glad I’m going for a perfect week. An associate in my room brought some frosted sugar cookies for my son, exactly what I have been craving for a while now. If I hadn’t set a goal of having a perfect week I’m guessing the tray of cookies would have magically transformed itself into a single cookie wraped in Saran Wrap. I won’t say that I wasn’t tempted, but I can say that it was a bit easier to resist than it would have been otherwise. Thanks, Patty, for the ”perfect week” idea.
I’m also nursing a cold and am at that point where I’m just sick enough to be miserable but not sick enough to feel like I should stay home. The good news is the kids generally take pity on you when your voice is froggy so they have been on their best behavior lately.
Progress toward workout goal: 80/250
I just wanted to stop by your blog and thank you for all the encouraging comments you’ve left for me. It’s funny to think that other people are reading my site! Sorry you’re not feeling well, and way to go on passing up those wonderful sounding cookies. Don’t you feel great about yourself when you show your self control?!
I also wanted to thank you for your comment on my page! Also, it sounds like you’re doing amazingly. I’m in awe with how good you are about your workout routine– consistent and going for a long time. I’m personally trying to get back into the mode where I can pump up my cardio intensity, so it’s definitely inspiration to see your determination.
I totally understand the whole stupid people / annoying thing. It amazes me sometimes, how some people will ask the most ridiculously inane questions. I find myself wondering, though… How is it that the person’s brain is structured in such a way that he/she is totally unaware of the most obvious conclusions? I actually find it more interesting than annoying (most of the time).
I will admit, though, that it’s a little scary that you’re talking about teachers. You know, those people who are molding our children’s minds? LOL!
Wooooohooooo!!!! for you for sticking to your perfect-week!!! Excellent!
Oh, and I forgot to say…
Sorry to hear you have a cold and I hope you feel better soon!
I’m right up there with you! I want to jump out of my chair and choke people! A lot of the time, it’s not a stupid question but it applies ONLY to the person asking it. It’s like, couldn’t you wait till the rest of us go home to go up and ask your question? None of the rest of us give a crap! We just want to go home!
You’re very welcome for using the perfect week idea! Go for it, Brandie!
