Yesterday I was talking with Andrew and he was saying that Charles, one of our people training to be a tutor, looked a lot like Dwight from The Office. Last night at training, Charles was missing a piece of paper from his training manual. Andrew saw that he was flipping like he was searching and said, "Are you missing a page there, Dwight?"
I was shocked for a second that I actually heard him say that. Then I asked Blair if he heard it too and he did. We told Andrew during the break that he called him Dwight and it was funny.
Ok, so maybe you had to be there but it made my night.
He's one of the pretentious slacker bitches I work with. He's trying to learn Spanish so we practiced yesterday. He was in a dream I had last night. Nothing scandalous but still surprising he turned up and not other people in my life.
This is Jon, Sara, and Summer Sara is the Community Outreach Manager and Summer is the Family Literacy Program Coordinator who just quit. Jon graduated in 2005 but is one month younger than Burney and Sara and Summer both graduated in 2006.

My crazy pretentious slacker bitch of a boss just turned in her resignation notice. I'm not sure if it's only two weeks or if she will stay for longer.
Right now they are interviewing for a part-time AmeriCorps position doing my same job. I get the feeling though that my boss just resigned and is going to suggest that they interview this candidate for her coordinator position. The woman here interviewing is overqualified for the family literacy program assistant position anyway. She has a Master's degree in arts application and has done programs with children before. She's also from Puerto Rico so she's got the bilingual thing down too.
Pretty much any motivation that I had to finish these lesson plans had gone out the window at this point.
I burned my hand on my iron today. It's no "the wound" Blair, my fellow AmeriCorps member at the office, was concerned for my well being. He also shared the wisdom that if you wear your clothes wrinkled, the wrinkles will eventually fall out, and thus save you the trouble of using an iron to begin with.
So my job is boring. I know that. I try to get up at least once an hour and go downstairs to visit people and just walk around. Today no one was around so I thought I would step outside for some fresh air.
Dang, it was hot outside. It's September already. Bring on fall!

The JL has made me into a really bad winner. We played Lab Safety Trivial Pursuit when my team won I came this close to asking who wanted to fucking touch me.
