Got enough of it sorted out that I could at least get back on this forum. And browsed back an forth looking for a competitive ball game....did not take long to abandon the cocktail party...so did not have much interest elsewhere except watching Louisville go down to Wake Forest. Go Apple. You won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
afblue 128 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Did a bunch of chores around the house and watched my beloved AF Falcons (a 9.5 pt underdog) beat in-state rival Colorado St 45-28. The AF Triple Option was working well. It's not like AU beating UGA, but Mike Bobo is the CSU head coach...so maybe a just a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been a bum laying on the sofa watching football all day. Dude....I just got over the stomach virus today. Fortunately I never threw up but felt like absolute crap. Glad I can eat like normal again.

This past week, I also dealt with crazy kindergartners dressing up for Red Ribbon Week and getting my observation during the middle of it. Yay. So, this nice rainy bye week was very much needed. Thanks for asking. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, y'all, and show your appreciation for the blessings you have. War Eagle, friends!!! NOOOOOOOOO!!! Not your observation! But at least you know they won't be back around any time soon. It's my year for that, too. Where do you teach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kindergarten teachers tend to be optimistic, make the best out of bad situations, and take things that are complicated and try to make them simpler to understand. We also look at things from a more emotional standpoint and give people the benefit of the doubt because of that. Kindergarten is challenging, for sure, but where else can you work where you are told every day how much you are loved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest hold back besides work is my family. Just in the garage making good progress. You know when you are on a roll and see a stopping point 30-45 minutes out that will put you in great shape when you get started tomorrow.. Ava comes out about the fourth time guilt tripping me because she is lonely. Well she isn't lonely she is scared to go into another room alone and my wife is trying to sleep and won't let her watch her iPad in the bedroom. So that half hour I cut short will take two hours getting started back up tomorrow. Unless I get pulled off again. I need a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUBwins 10,297 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 It's been a bit of an eventful week for me. I went to the bi-annual oil and gas event in town, which is pretty big for this industry. Our company decided to host a party at the local Pub with 6 other companies instead of having a booth. That was a great event. It was a chance to meet/mingle with customers you haven't met face to face. I also got to see a couple of former coworkers I have not seen since switching jobs 6 years ago. Food was excellent, zydeco band was great, and got to watch game 2 with a bunch of fellow Astros fans visiting from Texas. I have a funny story this board may appreciate. One of my customers here in Louisiana is a huge Bama fan. We typically end the conversation with RT and War Eagle. I have never actually met this man until Wednesday night. As soon as he walked in, the red headed mullet in a pony tail was a dead giveaway that this was a Bama guy. This Saturday was a much needed rest day with the kids, watching a couple of football comebacks today. Now, Go Astros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a year at AU and then off to military school in Colorado for 4 more years to get some direction in life. Ended up OK. I worked with a guy from the Deatsville/Millbrook area (an AU fan as well) my last assignment before I retired...small world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
