Did Superboy punch reality again?

Okay, so this subbing thing? Is really, seriously strange. Just because I'm subbing in the schools I attended and I keep running into teachers I had and...

Example: In third grade, my teacher's classroom was in a portable, and our class and the teacher next door would switch for science and social studies--so MY teacher taught all social studies and the teacher next door taught all science. My brother had that next door teacher when he went through school.

I team-taught with that teacher on Thursday and Friday. Mr. S (we'll call him) wanted me to call him by his first name.

O_O

And then he said "You have to go see Sue and say hi!" REFERRING TO MY THIRD GRADE TEACHER.

It's all too much. I cannot call these people by their first names. It's wrong on every possible level.

What was amusing was listening to my fourth grade teacher and my art teacher introducing me to one of the other teachers and practically interrupting each other to do so.

"This is my baby!" (I'm not kidding, this is what my fourth grade teacher called me.) "She was in my class--"
"I went to high school with her mother!"
"She went to my college!"
"I was roommates with her aunt in college!"

Also, do you have any idea how WEIRD it was to eat in the teacher's room of my old school? I stepped in and expected to be yelled at!

Anyway, yeah, so I subbed 3 days this week and just now the sub caller called and I have jobs lined up for Monday, Tuesday and Friday and she'll call me if she gets requests for the other two days.

This is looking good for my wallet, but not so good for my continued sanity, as I ENTER A TIME WARP when I enter these buildings!


Also, I made an 80s playlist because aradiachiba made me, and then decided I needed a playlist with all the music I have from the 1990s.

All except the broadway music, with the exception of certain songs from RENT and Disney movies, because I CAN'T think about the 90s without "Be A Man" playing in my brain--certain people know why.

248 songs, 17 hours and 18 minutes (exactly) later... I think I need more 90s music. ;) Let's just say I've been listening since Saturday and I've barely gotten halfway through.

I ♥ the 90s. Except I'd never relive them EVER.


On a random side-note, I just read a freaking AWESOME fic involving Dick Grayson and Roy Harper. ::is so beyond happy::

DC, you are so absolutely crazy that Superboy's reality punching is starting to MAKE SENSE TO ME. Somehow I think that's wrong.

Man, that teaching thing is weird, isn't it?

If it makes you feel better, I've had the same thing. In fact, this girl that I work with used to go to my school... and the man that we work with was our principal.

One time, we had to "kick him off" the computer, and it felt so... wrong. And the first time I had to call him by his first name, it was weird... it doesn't help that he has one of those standard, "everyone's called that" names. If it was Percival or Gunther...

Okay, maybe I wouldn't be able to take "Gunther" seriously either.

Oh man, that sounds SO bizarre! Running into your elementary teachers in town is weird enough, but working with them and having to call them by their first name (while they are calling you their baby), WHAAAAAAT?! Haha, so sorry that it's been awkward for you! But hey, at least it gives you some green ;D.

Wait! How is this my fault this time!? Or was it the "Doitdoitdoitdoit"? OK, maybe it was my fault. ;) And EEEE!!!! Be A MAN!!! I loved the 90's.

And congrats on finally finding a good fic to read! :D
