Note to mobile-addicted bipeds:
- if you're going to break up with your better half (and that's probably literal) in a call whilst on the bus, have a spot of self-esteem, and don't have the entire bus enjoy the whole thing. It makes you look like a demented creature who might well be just out of Bedlam - or at least in need of some education (then again, you all know about my love for mobiles).
- if you've just done drugs, don't phone your best mate to tell him (in great details!) how you feel and everything. The world doesn't need to know what you took, how long it made you puke, how dizzy and high you're feeling and how hungry you are (okay, that part made me go: 'Helloooo, Amazing Grace!'). Once more: self-esteem and good education.
I've got some seasonal extra work now, which means that I'm covering for other people, and I got to meet students who are not "mine".
Bottom line? I may have slightly scared mine, but now they arrive on time, they keep their mobiles out of sight, and they do their homework (not all of them, but most of them, and I'm darn proud of that because I hope they'll remember to behave decently outside of school, and I want to believe that a bit of what I taught them will stay with them after they leave my care). The others? Simple... when I left the room, I started wondering what half of them are smoking, inhaling or taking.
Utterly disturbing and odd.
May the end of the week be quiet for all of us...!
