You mean there's more?

Finally done giving all the brats their end-of-term exams. I've had to deal with so many 'sudden illness' emails in the last few days it's a small wonder anyone's turned up for their timeslots at all. But, despite all their whining and complaining, all of them are done.

But for little ol' me? Nope. One week to grade all these labs and exams and turn grades in! Only one teacher's aid! Yay me!

If one more student shows up with their lab books I'm going to throw all late assignments in the fire and give them a nice zero. That sounds nice.

And you know what upsets me the most? the 11th! The Sherlock premier! Guess where I'll be.

You got it. Grading these goddamn lab books.

Who wants to get a pint with me after grades are in?

My sister, who's also now stuck with grading papers, always said there are only two good reasons to be a teacher: July and August. :)

She'd be absolutely right! ...only the missus wants to redo the sitting room, so I'm teaching summer classes this year.

The things I will do for that woman.

Ouch! That sucks, mate. :/

It's been ages since we've seen each other, I would love to meet up and catch up! You've got married and everything since I've seen you, how did that happen?

Married is not the only thing that's changed about me. But I bet you're exactly the same! And traveling everywhere. I'll be free as a bird after the 14th, miluv.

Up until classes start up again, at least. Did you want to meet the missus?

Of course I would love to meet her, she must be something special to put up with you, boyo.
I've loved travelling, but it's so good to be home as well.
I suppose we'll have to find a new haunt, unless you want to give your students a conniption by showing up at the student union again.
I look forward to seeing your handsome face.

I'm not sure what you're trying to imply, there, but I know I don't like it. ;)

I'll show you this little place Jenny and I found.

Look forward to it already. =)

I never imply anything. =p
PM me when you get free time. =)

The zeroes sound well deserved.

Put me down for pints whenever you're free, Mike! I'll try my best not to spoil you about the Sherlock premiere while pissed if you promise to buy a round

[identity profile] storm-ford.livejournal.com 2011-06-09 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
I always invariably end up buying you a round. Or five.

You better avoid spoiling me regardless!

I knew you'd understand
