My district is conducting a “study” on the structure of middle school. So, I’ve got a meeting with “The Bob’s” today. I don’t really see this changing anything with my job, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t at least a little nervous. Wish me luck!

Just don’t tell anybody angrily about your people skills. That’s a no-no.

What would you say your favorite Michael Bolton song is?

And if they ask if you like Michael Bolton, just say yes.

Also also, not giving a shit is easy to misinterpret as confident Alpha behavior.

My shop teacher was the best. He taught me how to use a saw, miter box, a hand-crank drill, and how to sand something properly. We also learned some basics about electricity. Our big project for the semester was a working motor which we built from scratch. We each built a base and support, made our own stators (including the winding), mounted the magnets, and set up the brushes. The best day of 6th grade was connecting the battery and watching that motor spin for the first time. I wish my kids had a shop class!

Good luck man. My company went through this last year. Middle management got moved around quite a bit, and the higher ups recieved “the golden handshake”.

Oh wow! Building a motor from scratch would be insanely cool! Maybe I’ll do that with my Industrial Tech club kids.

Thanks! Funny how that always works for the higher ups.

Maybe you can show them that you still have most of your fingers?

I celebrate the guy’s entire catalog!

shop-teacher > CalzoneGolem 11/19/2015 at 10:03

As a matter of fact, I still have them ALL. I’m not even missing any parts of fingers. I did burn the shit out of my pinkie last year on one of the 3D printers, that sucked a lot.

Yeah lol. The guys that have been here for 40+ years. But I dont feel bad for them though, they were handsomely compensated for their departure.

I got the invite and went yesterday. Found the experience to be quite cathartic.
