Six degrees of STRETCH

4 Comments

A little background info: The high school where I work is the same one that Homer Hickam attended with my dad. Homer Hickam wrote Rocket Boys, which was later made into the movie October Sky. The student that I had carry my refrigerator to my room is the brother of one of the other Rocket Boys. (Yes, the student is 17 while his older brother is 61. Don’t ask).

Here’s the stretch: I know the brother of one of the Rocket Boys. The Rocket Boys were on the set of October Sky with Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake starred in The Day After Tomorrow with Ian Holm. Ian Holm starred in LOTR with Sean Bean.

There you have it. My destiny.

First day of school

My first day as a high school guidance counselor was somewhat uneventful. Right off the bat I pissed off one of the very old teachers. Apparently, I parked in her parking space, even though the principal specifically told me there was no assigned parking. I offered to move my car, but the principal forbade me from moving it and actually argued with the teacher until she finally relented. Heh. A few really cool things are that I have a huge office and I’ll be taking my small fridge with me soon. I also have my very own restroom in my office. So cool. Once I get my sleep adjusted, I should be ok 😛

Here’s the deal…

After another glorious hiatus, I must return to the world of work tomorrow. Since the commute is approx. 85 minutes long, I will have to leave here every day before 6:00am. Therefore, if you don’t see updates, new vids, or much of anything from me, that’s why. Oh, and it’s very cold this weekend. :cold:

The rest of my weekend didn’t pan out (yeah, yeah, I know :shock:). Anyway, this week is going to boom a bit more. I’m going to help my grandparents today with some home redecorating. Unfortunately they’re in the demolition stage, so Scott and I are going to have to work our tails off. Ben’s coming down on Wednesday to take the place of the lost LOST ep and we’re going to watch the newest SGA eps. Then on Thursday, of course, we eat like savages.
