Wooo! A job!

You at ease around juveniles? Not such a stretch.

But role model? They don't know you very well, do they?

Seriously, just kidding.

Good luck at your new job. Help shape those kids into upstanding citizens.

Hey dude, yeah seriously that rocks! Congratulations.

I get along with children most of the time. When they're at that age, my plan of action is "pick em up, spoil em rotten, when they start getting cranky, back to my brother." ... God I love kids.

Congrats, Fred. Have fun, prove yourself valuable, take lots of Aspirin when you get home. j/k

Congrats dude!

And remember: if they get out of line, just use Jim's discipline method.

Awesome! Hope it goes well. People always tell me I'd make a good male role model/father...maybe.

Well done indeed!

I always imagined that teaching young kids around that level would be extremely rewarding... and I am sure you will have plenty of fun stories to tell, so good luck!

Cub, I think that Kitty is looking at me.

Good luck, Fred!

Jim the old guy wrote:Cub, I think that Kitty is looking at me.

Don't flatter yourself Jim, it's not so much a "Hey good lookin'" kinda look... It's more like a "You have no idea but I'm actually gonna tear you apart" cheeky kinda look.

But not with me, she does not mess with master.

All the best, Fred. I'm a former teacher, and my wife is a current teacher (kindergarten). As she has said, "It's amazing what they don't know!" So, you've got a blank slate. Use your chalk wisely.

Realy nice congreatulation on the new job.

I see u are in the perfect place to start teaching the ways of Tex Mutphy.

Best of luck to u and let us know how thing are going.

Oh my hell...

So it's like this. The kids are from 1st to 4th grade, and they stay at school before class (kinda like kindergarten) from as early as 7am until around 08:30 when school begins. Then they're at their classes.

At around 12:30 and until 16:30 they're back in the arrangement of being in the school's kindergarten-system again, since their parents are at work or for whatever other reason.

Now all this is well and good, but there was one, tiny, minuscule little detail someone forgot to mention to me...

THERE ARE EIGHTY OF THEM!! Yes. You read right. Eighty. 80. Eight-zero. Ten times eight. And there's just me and one other adult around.

Somewhere, someone is laughing at me...

What would Tex Murphy do? I'll tell you what Tex would do. He'd light up a Lucky, then look at it weirdly and put it out almost immediatly, probably burning his hand in the process. Then he would smile sheepishly and carefully wave to the children. And then they would maul him.

I've put out the Lucky, I've smiled sheepishly, and I'm about to wave my hand carefully at them. Prepare for the onslaught of kids age 6 to 9.

Oh, and if this is my final post... Malloy, you can't have my post-count

I'll catch you guys later!

-Fred

PS: Thanks for all the encouraging words guys 'Preciate it!

Dude, I don't know how else to put this. I laughed. I laughed hard. I just ROFLMAO at your last post. 80 kids?! Hooooo boy. I've dealt with, at most, 10 kids at a time, and that was at a birthday party. And I came out of that with one black eye, a sore groin, and scratches on my forehead. You have 80 ...


No wonder the teacher needed an assistant. I bet she also needs prozzack.

On a serious note, good luck. I think you're going to need it.
::Starts to play the funeral procession music::

Hey, wait a minute, you promised me your post count if you died back in July!! Remember? You told me "If I die you can have my post count." ... I have it on back up here somewhere. In text form. Hold on ... here it is ...

Fred Buer - "Hey Malloy, if I die, I tell you what. You can have my post count. As a matter of fact, I think I'll go ahead and leave you my life's fourtune. And my dog. God this Yagermeister is good. Hic-up! Oh, and you can have my Sylvester Stallone DVD collection too. You're such a pal."


That's admissable as evidence, and is not under any circumstances made up or fake.

So, um .. yeah.

Good luck!

Sit them all down infront of the TV and put some educational stuff (buy the old school Sesame Street set they just released ) that should eliminate about 50 of them, the other 20 might be able to be subdued with some educational computer games. Ah, the age of technology.

Seriously though, hope everything settles down for you. Ultimately did you have fun? If so best of luck and enjoy.
