| I went to a new gathering last Friday, a group of complete strangers. Spent about two hours socializing and getting to know various people. By the end of it, two women had asked for my number and email address.
The good news is that the group gathering was a bridge club, frequented by 60-80 year old people, and the women who wanted my number were interested in seeing if I wanted to tutor their daughters/friend's daughters. Fun stuff.

| I was applying for a job and received the following email:
I hope that you are able to find a job that will allow you to use your training. We are looking for someone who's long term aspirations are to be a patient coordinator/receptionist.
And before anyone yells at me because they are a receptionist and feel like I'm insulting them, please recall that I'm receiving this email after applying for such a position. I am merely amused that one of their requirements for the job is for the person to have "long term aspirations to be a patient coordinator/receptionist."
Well, best wishes to them in their search!

| I tutor kids in math. Sometimes they need some motivation to do their homework. Some have worked, some have not.
My favorite one is, "Do your homework or eat your homework, no dogs allowed."
Well, actually, I just made that one up, but it is now my favorite one, as soon as I use it on someone. I have actually told kids that since we didn't have a recycling bin, the punishment for missing questions or not doing your homework was to eat our waste paper. I had one kid actually take me up on it and consume a few pieces of a sheet of paper before I realized he was serious and stopped him.

| I was filling out an application for seminary and it requested my "permanent address" and i was like "hmm, I should put my home in IL since I may move." So I filled it out and realized that I actually don't remember my zip code.
