sarcasymptotePop quiz: 43% attendance in calculus this morning. Of those that came, only 70% had their bag. Why do we have class on Dec 23?
k8nowakMy geometry classes are taking a quiz and then watching @okgo videos.#teachingschooltodayisbeyondmypowers

Mrs_LHenry@samjshah I just started catching up in my Google Reader and seeing there were new Favorite Tweets made my day. Thanks! #missbeingontwitter
Mrs_LHenry@samjshah I just started catching up in my Google Reader and seeing there were new Favorite Tweets made my day. Thanks! #missbeingontwitter
Fouss@Mrs_LHenry @samjshah New favorite tweets? All right! :) Finall
Fouss@Mrs_LHenry I’m with you. Worried about next week… allllll week home with the kids. Ugh. Can I farm them out?
samjshah@Fouss @Mrs_LHenry send them to @dcox21 he LOVES taking care of lots of kids. the screamier the better.
Fouss@samjshah @Mrs_LHenry Are you ready @dcox21? All they need is cereal to eat and a spot on the floor. They’re on the next plane.
Fouss@samjshah @dox21 And they’re not screamy, just whiny. And they like to kick.
Mrs_LHenry@samjshah @Fouss @dcox21 Mine too. Pop tarts and apple jacks work for mine. Oh, and chocolate milk. Thanks! #you‘reasaint :-)
Fouss@Mrs_LHenry @dcox21 @samjshah Mine are good with white milk. And cheese sticks.
dcox21@Fouss @Mrs_LHenry @samjshah Bring ‘em on! It may take a while before we notice.
Fouss@dcox21 @Mrs_LHenry @samjshah Awesome. You not noticing will give my 3 y.o. time to color on the walls.
dcox21@Fouss @Mrs_LHenry @samjshah We’ve got a mural going on here.

sarcasymptoteIf you ever need an easy victory in life, just play @samjshah at the board game Sorry. That guy has no strategy.
sarcasymptote@samjshah well, to be fair, you did win at trivia. AND in the twilight board game, i think.
sophgermain@sarcasymptote @samjshah hold up. what?
sarcasymptote@sophgermain @samjshah and i had game night, but the twilight one had a lemniscate-shaped path, 2 starts and no finish. Totes confusing
sophgermain@sarcasymptote I can’t decide if i want to pretend that doesn’t exist or if I really really want to play.
samjshah@sophgermain @sarcasymptote let me tell you: you want to play. its one of the funnest games ever. if you make up your own rules.
sophgermain@samjshah @sacasymptote Alright, when i come in february i want to play. Can one of the rules be that i win? I like those kind of rules.
samjshah@sophgermain @sacasymptote sure! it’s like calvinball, so watch out, because winning could really be losing if it’s monday (opposite day)
sophgermain@samjshah I’m cool with that so long as there is heavy drinking involved and if@sarcasymtope is there I’m sure there will be.
samjshah@sophgermain @sarcasymtope that’s affirmative. he’s buck wild.

sarcasymptoteOk, so, Ryan Gosling needs to stop copying me. First with the calculator watch in half nelson, now picking up girls with ukulele. Geesh.
jybuell@sarcasymptote i find your omission of “wearing skinny jeans”
curious.
samjshah@sarcasymptote ryan gosling is my hero. you are nothing like him.
dcox21@samjshah @sarcasymptote You lie!!! http://yfrog.com/h0fm2rlj
sarcasymptote@dcox21 @samjshah you have had that one in the bag ready to use for a while, eh?
dcox21@sarcasymptote @samjshah Nah, had to find it. I just remember how special I felt when he said it only to find out I’m just one of the herd.
sarcasymptote@dcox21 @samjshah well, i was certainly denied a place in the herd, so at least youve got something.
samjshah@dcox21 @sarcasymptote i suppose you’re right. i can’t have two heros. Mr. Cox, you’re out. Ryan, you stay.
dcox21@samjshah I can’t believe you just hit ‘send.’
samjshah@dcox21 should i have hit some other button instead?
dcox21@samjshah STOP FAVORITING MY TWEETS!
dcox21@samjshah Yeah, ‘delete.’
samjshah@dcox21 try and stop me.
samjshah@dcox21 i think if you have a problem with the situation, there is only one thing you can do. destroy gosling.
sarcasymptote@samjshah @dcox21 just make sure and let him know that hed better not start playing accordion and reciting pi to 30 decimal places too.

21stcenturychem@samjshah I know about 4 songs on that list…
dcox21@21stcenturychem @samjshah You’ve got me beat.
sarcasymptote@samjshah i might bring two friends, actually. one is real, the other comes in a bottle. but not a genie.
samjshah@sarcasymptote i don’t know if we’re at that stage of our relationship yet – meeting each other’s friends. what next? family? #slowdown
park_star@samjshah @sarcasymptote that joke was worth 2 Canadian unicorns, 3 double rainbows and 3 seasons of Veronica Mars

cheesemonkeysfI love the kind of holiday where I finally take a shower around 5pm, only to put on a new pair of sweats & revert to my lounging.
park_star@sophgermain i fall into the couch black hole first & then fall deeper into the etsy black hole.it’s a dangerous cycle. #laptopsaredangerous
***
park_star@sophgermain @calcdave no, people have boyfriends (or husbands) so they never have to cook.#justme?

samjshahtoday i was called by the yearbook kids “fontmaster shah.” i will proudly take that title.
cheesemonkeysf@samjshah You probably can’t see it on Twitter, but your minions are all bowing very low to Fontmaster Shah.

sarcasymptoteOddly enough, my alg 2 kids love exponential growth. Order should restore next week with logarithms.
***
robinwassermanOkay, there is a noise coming out of my stovetop that sounds like a CREATURE is trapped in there. Do I check? Or light it on fire?
robinwassermanOkay, seriously, I am FREAKING OUT. What if it is a creature? What if it ESCAPES?

sophgermain“Ms. S it’s you birthday did you bring us cupcakes?” “I think you are confused to how birthdays work”-me’

samjshah@JackieB yes. but it is too long to contain in this margin. i mean, tweet.
***
sarcasymptoteSo, it seems that going from a 0 hr work week to an 80 hr work week, coupled with drinking late 2 nights in a row, makes you sick.

mathematicsprofMath majors I once supervised ordered t-shirts saying “Mathematicians: We’re number e^(2*pi*i)” , unfortunately they came out e^(pi*i).

k8nowakOk this winter can officially kiss my ass.

madcaptenorI pretend to agree when ppl mock ppl on twitter for saying what they ate for dinner. But I probably tweet my dinner at least once a week.

MathEdnetThe atmosphere in my classes is very serious. For example, today I heard a classmate say, “Psst. Hey Suarez…pass me the animal crackers.”

sarcasymptotePD boredom has set in. Just made a school appropriate sangria: sprite, OJ, and some fruit salad. Delicious!
***
sarcasymptotePrincipal told me I got tenure today. Immediately told him, “oh yeah? paperwork went through? then TAKE YOUR MEETINGS TO HELL.”
sarcasymptoteI then spent the rest of the day kicking over garbage cans and telling teachers I don’t give a shit. The next 25 years will be great.

mathematicsprofOnce I wrote wryly on a test, prove or dispove the following (but not necessary to do both). Student asks if I gave extra credit for both.

Fouss@samjshah Did you make it to school ok this morning? I figure you were at the midnight showing of the jbeebs movie and had a late night…
samjshah@Fouss haha i did make it to school. haven’t gone to see the movie yet. favorite txt of the day that i got was…
samjshah@Fouss <The Bieber movie comes out TODAY! Omg. My kids said, “it’s 3D, so it’s like he’s touching you!”>

k8nowak@dcox21 actually it was a speaker we had a while ago I just got freshly pissed off about it today.
k8nowak@dcox21 This was Micah Jacobsen. He was ok but the withit business made me want to stick my head in the oven and turn the gas on.
dcox21@k8nowak Makes you really wonder what it takes to be a consultant, doesn’t it?
k8nowak@dcox21 far as I can tell, a nice haircut and a lack of shame are the only requirements.
dcox21@k8nowak And with the East Coast/ West Coast thing, we can convince people that it’s catching on…
dcox21@k8nowak @calcdave YESSS! Digithinking leads to technorganization and both serve learniness. We have a taxonomy.
k8nowak@calcdave @dcox21 I love when I get unfollowed randomly. Someone somewhere was like “I’ve been working on withitness for 20 years! Hmph!”

k8nowakWas tutoring a girl in calc 1 and she kept saying “triangle x” instead of “delta x” and it was so cute I didn’t correct her right away.
