Sometimes I need DIRECTION

So Heeeeeey Guys.   I forgot to tell you how MUCH to donate.  A dollah.  A dollah is good cause it's like the South Street Seaport guys with their hats after they stand on top of their head and make a bunny come out of Ann Taylor.  Hmmm I miss South Street Seaport. Is the fake Statue of Liberty still there? I have to hit that the next time I am in town.

I just reread that and realized if you are not from New York you probably have no idea what I am talking about. Or maybe you have no idea what I am talking about either way.  It's cool. Everybody is actually welcome.

So yesterday I got lambasted by a facilitator from my online tutoring.  Facilitator Yolanda.  She might be watching us now, Blog. She pops up on my computer in a chat box and it can be creepy. I don't really know how it all works.  I  sign into tutoring and wait for students to come along.  When THEY sign in, a huge and crazy CUCKOO noise comes out of my computer, alerting me that a student has arrived. So what I do is log on and then can usually be found

dying my hair
rocking around the clock
cooking dinner
learning Italian
trying to master the Rubik's cube


Because you have to wait for the kiddos to sign in.  A lot of times they sign in (oh by the by, I am signed in right now and one of these examples is happening as my little digits type away).  They sign in and sign out or play on the whiteboard and there is a whole rigamarole going on so while I am actually typing the words how can I help you the box disappears from under my fingertips.  Whatevs, I have my Rubik's.

So then yesterday Facillitator Yolanda pops up in a chat window and is all hey do you have time for Guest15674327 or whatever? And I am like sure.  So I sit down and say how can I help you?  And the student never responds so I say okay well the student never responded. And Yolanda says I am really more concerned about YOUR RESPONSE TIME.

And I am like...uh uh. did I get in trubs while I was exfoliating my elbows over the sink and someone was asking me how to diagram sentences?

So I say  is there anything else I can do and she says,,,,

not that I am aware of.

And I'm like, well that sounds super positive. I mean I am talking to a chat box. so I dunno how to take this.

So the point is I am sitting on my computer and when it cuckoos I do a backflip cause I have to be RESPONSIVE  but also I don't know how to do much more except to constantly break into a tap dance singing "My bologna has a first name..." all around the computer when someone signs in.  Jeez.

I just ate a grilled cheese and tomato whilst "editing" someone's paper.

Because I GOT HUNGRY, Blog.  Toodles.
