It's funny, the older I get, the things that pop into my head.
I'll suddenly remember someone that pi$$ed me off 20 or 30
years ago, and get rip roaring mad all over again. Like the
9th grade assistant principal, who sent a note to summon me to
the office. I was in P.E. class. The note said, "She skipped
class on August 25th." I did no such thing. So there I go down
to see MR. WHITE, in my gym clothes, and he promptly assured me
that yessiree, I did skip school that one class. After the
urge passed to strangle him, I thought about the day and
class in question. We had a substitute teacher that day. The
girl who sat in front of me had the same last name as me.
She never went to class. I knew the substitute just wrote down
the wrong person on the absenteeism list. I told this to
MR. WHITE, who promptly told me it was MY RESPONSIBILITY TO
MAKE SURE TEACHERS DON'T MARK ME ABSENT.
So I had images for days of going up to all the teachers
and asking to review their absenteeism list. THANKS MR.
WHITE. JACKASS!!
But what's even more humiliating is remembering 20 or 30 years
later the STUPID THINGS I DID way back then. Granted I
was younger. Granted I was stupid at times. But oh boy.
I never hurt anyone emotionally or physically, I never
TOTALLY broke the law :-0
I'm wondering what I'm doing now that when I'm old and in
a nursing home I'll think back on and turn red, LOL.
