I don't hang out in the teachers' lounge. I sometimes sit and read or use the computer in there while I finish a Diet Coke or two, but usually I'm on the yard supervising while the others are flirting in there.
The Principal's been cracking down on that social time from what I can tell.
Originally posted by pawnhandlerI get my lunch at a different time than everyone else precisely so that I can supervise while everyone else is lunching. I also get one ten-minute break a day. I can go to the lounge any time I want.

Originally posted by AThousandYoungI miss breaks 🙁 Lucky you. Are you supervising recess or something? I thought you had older kids.

So you're trying to have a friendly conversation with someone. This person ("Adam" ) says "X is true".
You are suspicious. X sounds like a silly rumor, or conspiracy theory, or something equally untrustworthy, but the person insists it's true. They insist and insist, trying to make you admit that it must be true.

This is one reason I tend to avoid people.
There is a game for the sadistic to play. You need some friends or aquantances willing to play the same game, and more importantly you need a victim.
You isolate the victim among your compatriots and during the evenings conversation someone says "I was in London and I saw the Eiffel tower".
The victim will protest that this is clearly wrong, at which point your fellow sadists will rally around to say that no, the Eiffel tower is clearly at the West end of Hyde Park, with an excellent view of Westminster abbey and Buckingham palace from the top.
This goes on until you reduce the victim to a state of unhappy selfdoubt, psychosis or tears, as you wish.
There was a point to this but I forget what, in any case, all the best of luck to you all.
