Saturday Morning

Waking up today was a bitch. I planned to go in a bit late and thankfully got in just in time with a large coffee to soothe my headache. Note: Sitting with your head on your desk and trying to sleep when hungover feels horrible.
Today one kid came in to the program, he's actually 15 years old so not really a kid. He's one of my favorite acquaintances from the program - a really genuine dude. I asked him how his week was and he started talking about something involving swagger. I've been getting the impression that the word has multiple meanings and don't want to resort to urbandictionary.com. So I obviously didn't really catch on to what he was trying to communicate. He then said that he'd been going to the mall quite often to pick up girls. I asked him what his lines were and he replied that he started off pretending to line up to purchase something and then offering the lady of interest some gum. He stated that this approach has reaped positive results. The conversation was then interrupted but I will follow-up by asking how many numbers he's gotten and divide this number by number of attempts. I am proud of him. I know he's gonna do good in that field regardless because he's a sweet dude. It was really funny to hear about it though.

pretty cute

Yesterday, a girl whose about 12 or so who was formerly part of the program came up to me after school and said, "Lenny, how could you!" At that point I had no point what she was talking about. I thought she was talking about me smoking because a bunch of other girls had seen me last week. She continued by saying, "You are so flirtatious!" She was busting my balls for walking with another co-worker who was a girl! She threatened to tell my former co-worker who is also a girl who she also thought I had a crush on. Coming from a girl who I've known since little, I thought it was really funny. It's great to see a lot of the kids grow up, and when they still say what's up to me it reminds me why I'm still trying to get a position as a teacher. So I thank them for asking how I am with serious sincerity when we run into each other ... However, tmrw I have the biggest interview yet for a non-teaching position with the program I've been in on and off for since 2005. Check out the new POS album!
