13667. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 7:18:25 PM What curtain, Jen? 13668. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 7:19:08 PM Ali, will you be in touch with us during your vacation? 13669. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 7:32:06 PM "Ou est le drapeau?"
isn't that "Where is the curtain?" 13670. PelleNilsson - 2/3/2005 8:00:15 PM And where is the curtain? 13671. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 8:06:40 PM Ce n'est pas un "curtain".
Le drapeau est ici.
 13672. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 8:07:51 PM "Où est le drapeau" = Where is the flag? "Où est le rideau?"= Where is the curtain?. 13673. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 8:21:09 PM Ignorez l'homme derrière le rideau. 13674. Ms. No - 2/3/2005 8:50:40 PM Ah! The Great and Powerful Oz! 13675. Magoseph - 2/3/2005 9:09:25 PM Ignorez l'homme derrière le rideau.

13677. Max Macks - 2/3/2005 10:59:34 PM lurking 13678. alistairConnor - 2/3/2005 11:42:57 PM Take me with you.
No trouble Jen... rendezvous in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. any time between 6am and 9pm.
Yes we have a 14 hour layover... we're going to hit the town.
I'll certainly be on line from time to time, in NZ. 13679. thoughtful - 2/3/2005 11:45:55 PM safe travels, ac 13680. Magoseph - 2/4/2005 2:04:49 AM I have a job if I want it, but I am still thinking the offer. If I take it, it means that I will have five large classes, two French and three Spanish, 11 and 12 grades. I am not discussing this yet with Flexy-- I have to decide if I want to be away from him for five months during the day. The school principal wants me to start in the morning—that is how urgent he needs someone to replace the teacher. I talked to an ex-colleague who says that the teacher is not coming back—he has been put on emergency leave, but it is over for him in that school.
Well, I guess I have to wait until Flexy is finished with the news and look at his expression when I tell him the news. He is doing so well now and without bragging too much, certainly in part due to my constant presence. I talked to his daughter and asked her if he ever talks about having me around sometimes. She said-- he loves it, he has never been so happy.
In the meantime, I am thinking...
13681. Magoseph - 2/4/2005 2:07:07 AM One thing I really don't like is the driving to that school and back--it will take an hour and a half everyday. 13682. arkymalarky - 2/4/2005 2:57:48 AM Hey, they sell key lime yogurt at my grocery store. 13683. arkymalarky - 2/4/2005 3:06:09 AM 3i3b (Message # 13653),
I can really relate to that--the dynamic of working on something like that with other people, that is. Though it's not on that academic a level, this paper I've been working on is being published and I just got a shortened version to five people who have to get back to me before I have it reviewed by several professors and it's got to be published before the end of the month. And this is the last stage. We've been wrangling with it for literally weeks and I've been working on it, beginning with the research, about a year.
As much trouble as this project has been (resulting in a long unfinished paper and a published short one) I can't imagine dealing with it on your scale, though I do have another fulltime job that has nothing (directly) to do with this stuff. 13684. arkymalarky - 2/4/2005 3:07:53 AM The only thing I remember from a semester of 9th grade French is "ferme la bouche" (sp--I never saw it written out). 13685. arkymalarky - 2/4/2005 3:12:13 AM That doesn't sound very appealing to me, Mags, but I certainly don't know what makes other teachers tick. Our science teacher is leaving next week to run a ranch out west with her husband. I have been considering dropping back to part time after next year. I love teaching, but not what the paperwork and outside pressure is becoming. And I will not teach in anything but a rural school, period. 13686. arkymalarky - 2/4/2005 3:13:20 AM And I'm getting a root canal Tuesday. My first. I dread it, but pain drove me to the dentist. I suspected he would conclude root canal, and sure enough, I have an abcess.
