- Notes, in Spanglish, from a debate in Spanish (ex: niños have a right to choose what they see.") Written on the bottom, in Tea-ish is "why care."

Thought I would share this amusing conversation from yesterday, when I went to get a signature for the NHS form from a certain boss whom I'll call Jester (his name is just kidding). Office Girl Sarcastica was also there, as was another guy from GCS. But that's not important.
i knock and enter the office. Jester is playing with a water gun.
me: Hi Jester, Sarcastica, Oliver.
Jester, Sarcastica, and Oliver: Hi Nyx! Good to see you, what's up?
me: I have this form ....(I explain NHS)
Sarcastica: Oh yeah, i remember doing this, sure no problem!!
(Jester shoots the empty water gun, which makes a wooshing noise)
me: Nice water shooter, you gonna use that on the students this year?
Jester: I gotta wait for the right moment, but I've been dying to.
Oliver: Yeah, timing is key on that, it won't be funny if you do it too much...
Sarcastica, noting the rodlike shape: You know, it's very suggestive. Why did they give it a PURPLE handle?
Jester: Haha, spraying kids with a giant dildo.
Sarcastica: JESTER!!
...blah convo blah...
me: well I'm not sure if I'll get in or not, because I've got twice the required community service, but not continuously.
Sarcastica: Yeah, I got around that one because I did a lot of stuff through my church youth group.
...talk about youth groups...
me: I quit my youth group on the basis that everyone there just wanted to drink and smoke...
Jester: I wouldn't have minded that, sounds like a good youth group to me.
me: Yeah, well, I don't have a problem with it, but don't go calling it doing the will of god. I mean, it just bothered me that even though I was the one who didn't really fall in with the whole god thing, I was more priestly than all of them.
Sarcastica: yeah, that makes sense.
Jester: No, that makes you a pedophile.
Sarcastica: You just keep going on about that lately!
Jester: Well it keeps coming up in the news!
me: (laughing)
Jester: Well you know, I went to parochial school, and I am proud to say I was the only one in my class who did not become an alter boy.
Oliver: Probably a good call on your part.
Jester: But those nuns...man they knew how to hurt people. They'd whack you with yardsticks...
Oliver: But there wasn't any blood, right?
Sarcastica: Well no, they're trained so that they don't break the skin.
Jester: And these were INDUSTRIAL yardsticks, i tell you! Those nuns...
Sarcastica: Well I guess it's gotta be tough, being married to god and all that.
me: Yeah, they have to vent their frustrations somehow...Which do you suppose are more likely to break the rules, nuns or priests?
Jester: Definitely the priests, they're all over the news!
Sarcastica: Just because they're all over the news -
me: Yeah, I mean, maybe that just means the nuns are better at hiding it.
Jester: I don't know. I suppose they've got a lot of space to hide things under those habits...
Sarcastica: I wonder if that's allowed - does it count if it's with an object?
Oliver: Yeah, definitely, there's no way that's allowed.
Jester: Probably they all just get it on with each other.
me: No one would have to know...
Oliver: Biggest kept secret.
Jester: Screw you god!
(aims empty water gun out the window and fires) Take that, nun!
Sarcastica: JESTER!! (smacks back of head as she walks by)
...and we proceed to discuss what the font size should be on one of the refurbished boats.
hope you enjoyed :)
