Back to Work

I will be in bed by 10:30 pm and back to work tomorrow. I might even throw on a tie to scare the little boogers. The tie demands respect! Good luck to everyone else going back to school for the educational value.

Update: I pulled out all the stops and wore the tie! I need to buy some new Dockers because the ones I have are only a 30 waist which is kinda tight. Even if I dress nice I still need to be comfortable. I have a problem with dress shirts though because I’m so lanky. They all tend to be really baggy and puffy on me, and I don’t like that. Enough about my wardrobe.

First day went fine and I’m sure this year will be just as good as the last, but I’m going for better. I’m putting a strong emphasis on being organized this year, and especially up front. I think that putting in the extra effort to implement procedures the first 2-3 weeks can make the rest of your year way easier. It might take more work to begin with, but come May it will be nice to not have kids ask if they can throw away their trash. The answer is no by the way. Kids love to crumple up papers in the middle of a lesson for no apparent reason and then think they should be able to get up and throw it away.

Hope everyone else had a good first day back, crazy High Schoolers included.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!! You should wear a tie in Griffith’s school colors. That’s what they do in Universities in Britain. It’s a real badge of honor to be able to wear, for instance, Oxford’s colors. See http://www.oushop.com/acatalog/adult_ties.html for a nice selection.

PS-The first song Pandora played me today was “Jim, I wore a tie today” by Johnny Cash. You should play that whenever you walk into class.

You should let them try to shoot their “paper ball”, and if they miss the trashcan they get detention. This will let them decide if it’s worth it.

get your shirts tailored… it’s really not that expensive and it will make you look that much more on top of things.

Or do what Paul does–shop at Banana Republic. Their shirts are tailored to fit gay men and lanky men. All the same.

I second banana republic. The short sleeved dress shirt I have from there is my favorite because it is the only dress shirt I’ve ever owned that actually fit right. I feel ridiculous in cheap, baggy dress shirts.

I did not realize this would be such a helpful post. I will have to check out banana republic. I remember lots of asian friends shopping there in high school, so maybe that’s why they’re made for lanky people (since most asians people are fairly trim).

Where do you get shirts tailored kevin? Like men’s wherehouse?
Denise

Wonder of wonders, you get shirts tailored at the tailor.

And a word of warning, BR is expensive but they do tend to have a well stocked clearance section and several times a year they have a FANTASTIC sale, and dress shirts normally priced at $70 go for $30. They’re high quality and worth taking care of by dry cleaning.
