Re: The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell

No, I don't recall anything like that happened to me before.

Though today was very eventful. First, a kindergartner in the morning class missed her bus so we have to go to the office and called her dad to pick her up. Then in the afternoon class, this boy threw up all over his table so we have to move everyone else to the library. I felt bad for the kid because all of his classmates were making a big deal about it (e.g. "Eww! He threw up!"). But then, it was one of the kids' birthday and she gave everyone a treat bag so that somewhat balanced the day out.

Speaking of which...

Kindergarten

At the end of the day, the kids were lining up to go home
Girl: I feel bad for [sick boy].
Boy: I don't

Little kids are so brutally honest.

Another work story

Multi-handicapped resource room, K-2

We have a kindergartner who sometimes misbehaved. Whenever he does, the aides would threaten to send him to the principal's office or call her, which usually does the trick. At the end of the day, he acted up again.

Aide: The principal is outside right now helping with bus duty so if I have to come get her, you're in big trouble!
Boy: Don't! Don't!

As they were walking to his car, she noticed a teacher coming in
Aide: Is Ms. Miller (the principal) coming?
Teacher: Oh yes, she's coming here as soon as she deals with an issue

As the aide and the driver strapped the kids into their car seats, the kid was panicking
Boy: We have to get out of here fast, fast, fast!
Driver: Why is that?
Boy: If we get out of here right now, Ms. Miller won't catch me!

Hi, riki.

So you love to write, that's super cool . Do you write professionally?

 

[riki]

Re: The path to Heaven runs through miles of clouded Hell

Do you like to write as well?

LOL No, this is just a hobby for now. I did submit a story to Tor.com but I don't expect to hear from them until a couple months for now.

Right now I'm a substitute teacher which is why I get some amusing work stories.

Well, I can say I write semi-professionally as a part time job, but my works are mostly news articles or columns, so I cannot say that I'm a writer, more like a journalist

Wpw,even though that's a hobby, that's a great hobby. I'm lacking imagination as well as experience to write fiction, thus I even cannot enjoy my own story.

You get the ideas from your students?

I'm taking a little break from my novel to focus on planning a short story. ^^ It's going to be sci-fi, mystery, and thriller type dealy.

I'm looking forward to this...do you have a premise in mind?

Ugh. I wrote a reply but my internet acted up. *sigh*

I see. Well, you are a writer still. What is your main focus btw (e.g. national news, international news, sports, etc.)?

Wpw,even though that's a hobby, that's a great hobby. I'm lacking imagination as well as experience to write fiction, thus I even cannot enjoy my own story.

Awww... thanks.

You get the ideas from your students?

Not really. My story ideas usually popped randomly in my head (mostly when I'm asleep aka dreaming) though I get my inspirations from books, movies, anime, manga, and music. For example, my sci-fi story was inspired because the eighth graders at one of the middle schools are reading Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

I'm looking forward to this...do you have a premise in mind?

Thanks, I hope it will meet your expectations. ^^;

Yes, I have a premise in mind and the ending already planned out. So far I have around 10 pages of notes, which is impressive since I usually write off the top of my head. goldb can attest to that one.

If it's good enough, I will probably submit it to Tor.com after I get feedback from my first submission. ^^
