Okay...I just need to post something...ANYTHING...to get that picture off the "front page" of our poor blog. It's kinda disturbing. And what's more scary- we have had more hits on our blog lately to see that than we have had in a long while! In short, it's time to move on...and expunge the "lurking horror" from the topmost post.
Okay! So! Today's news! Um...I was helping some girls with math today. Yes - me! And I showed this one girl how to do a certain equation and she was just flabbergasted and proclaimed to the room that I was a genius and she wished she had my brain. This amused me highly. ( And when I read this to Brad, it amused him highly as well. In fact, he positively cackled with glee.) I wish that this moment had been projected backwards in time to when I was in eighth grade and struggling with all things math. Algebra was my nemesis in those days. I never could have imagined then, in a bazillion years, that one day, I would be tutoring girls and thought to be a math whiz. In fact, I still don't imagine it...Things get to a certain difficulty and I'm like, " Sorry! Ask Linda!" ( She's the REAL Math Genius/Teacher.) So, yeah, it was a pretty good day at work! Nice to get one's ego stoked every once in a while...even if you know it's totally misguided and based on completely FALSE grounds!

Ahh... relief! I must admit that after the first one or two bouts of hysterical laughter, the only reason I could force myself to scroll down all the way through the Lurking Horror was to see the new ways Derrick was finding to curse the universe. :)
I'm so impressed with your math skills! I'm totally dreading having to take math in any form in college (even "Contemporary Topics in Mathematics"), but I love it when people don't know me well enough to know I have no clue...
I totally agree about how nice it is to get one's ego stroked. Right before I was let go, mine got so puffed that I didn't even mind leaving, at least for a week or two. Aren't words of aff. great!
Well, my ego wasn't boosted. My 15minutes of fame got used up by some horrendous boots! Who do I appeal to to get a "do over"?
By the by Claire, grande' on the math stuff. Now you never need dread the time your kids will ask you that stuff :)
By the by, the title sounds like a song.
You should make one up. It might go bigtime, gold, or even platinum. Then you could retire at 30, and live the life of a mysterious benefactor til you die!
And all because of your blog. Absolutely amazing...
