i love messing with the heads of stupid people

apologies to the genuinely stupid people out there...i'm sure it's not completely your fault

last night in my sleep i wrote a deeply profound blog entry. it was amazing (i'm sure). i think it was about the stupid person who came to my door the other day. she was from mercury energy. every now and then they cold call to get new business. she started the spiel...we're in your area to check you're on the best deal yada yada yada. she then asked me 'do you know which energy company you're with?' to which i replied 'yes i do know which energy company i'm with.' she looked a bit puzzled and stated a bit more of the spiel. then she asked me again 'do you know which energy company you're with?' to which i replied, again, 'yes i do know which energy company i'm with.' she kind of giggled nervously. i then decided to put her out of her misery/stupidity and said i was perfectly happy with my energy company thanks. i think she thought i was reluctant to tell her but really she was asking the wrong question. the script writer didn't do a very good job.
silly girl.

another year over...

...thanks john lennon.
i may find some time at some stage to write something deeply profound, or not. though i did like my friend's comment about me wanting to see a movie...the cat in the hat? she asked...well to be fair it is a cat and he wears a hat, but the movie is puss in boots. going to see it later this afternoon...and in 3D. it's my first full length feature in 3D.hope i don't leave with a headache.

just gotta love 'em

went to a union gathering last night and learned an interesting spin-off about national's (no it's not a typing error..there's nothing 'national' about them) standards. we think we have it hard at a mid-decile school (it's 4). we will struggle to get all our students up to standard no matter how much we work our arses off. but at two high decile schools represented in the room they have had parents request their children be kept back a year because they aren't 'meeting the standard'. one school had 600 students and 13 lots of parents have made that request. the other has had 6 parents...this is from a very very wealthy and educated area in wellington. the principal of that school said that the first school was twice her size so that was comparable. that is scary. i (and some of the others in the room) were floored. maybe it isn't so rosy in decile 10 land after all.
