To Further Explain My Suckiness

by Mocha Momma on August 4, 2008

You’ve been waiting to hear who won my awesome prize pack, haven’t you? Some of you have clicked here several times today and some have just outright emailed me to stop torturing you. Aren’t you cute? Also, are you medicated? Just a question buzzing around in my mind.

I didn’t intentionally make you wait. It’s just that I used the Random website and it came up with 166 and then I thought, “Oh, easy enough. I’ll just look at which number commenter that was.” Before I go any further, I should explain that I rarely read my comments directly on my site. They come to my email account where I can access them anywhere (and I can reply back to people directly) so I had completely forgotten that MY WEBSITE DOESN’T USE NUMBERS TO COUNT THE COMMENTS.

This morning, I pulled up my site and stared at the screen until I realized that I would actually have to carve out some time today to count down to the 166th person who commented.

My eyes are crossed now and someone needs to take me to a roller coaster where, after going on a few loops, they will return to normal.

The winner of the gift basket is Crystal GB who simply needs to email me to let me know where to have it shipped!

My Suckiness Factor goes all the way back to last Friday when I noticed that gasoline was $3.49 per gallon and saw all the people lined up at the pump during my lunch hour.

Can we all just pause and reflect on the fact that during these next three weeks while all the principals are working and no students are in the buildings yet that I HAVE A LUNCH HOUR AND I CAN ALSO PEE WHENEVER I WANT.

Thank you for pausing there. Let’s get back to my suckiness.

Since I waited until after work that day to get gas I got stuck with a 50 cent increase. I filled up with $3.99 per gallon because I was foolish enough to wait until after work.

Tell you what…I’ve since learned my lesson and I’m going to be giving away $100 in free gasoline (note how I write out “gasoline” because my “gas” that I give is normally free). This one is sponsored by BP Gasoline who gave me free gasoline to try (who tries free gasoline? me, that’s who!) and, I never thought I’d utter such words, but that’s some seriously good gas.

Stop by for more instructions this week to win free gasoline. Who couldn’t use some of that free stuff?

My lovely little getto BP station was bought out this summer. Now they cost as much as everybody else. If I’m gonna pay the same I’ll go to a station where I can actually pull all the way off the street to wait for a pump, thank you.

I’ve been at school lately painting and redecorating my classroom, and there is something so strange about being able to pee whenever I want that I’ve forgotten a couple of times and “held it” until I’m almost ready to go home. I should be going to the bathroom just to stand in there every hour, because in three weeks, it will become a place you just hear about but don’t believe actually exists.

I will be on the lookout for the free gas giveaway. Until reading your post it never occurred to me that teachers have to wait until lunch for a “pee break.” I suppose as an administrator things pop up all of the time so you also have difficulty finding “time for self.” Well all I can say is enjoy the next two weeks but don’t get too used to it!

OK, you gotta hook me up with how you get these kick ass sponsors for these giveaways.

And I PROMISE I will actually give it away. Really. I mean, probably. Most likely, yes. Absolutely.

Okay, so are you saying no to Harvard right now? I’ll still love you (in my head that reads “stalk you”, but in a good way) but just remember that I’m rooting for you! And, sigh, I didn’t win the prize package, unless “JenniferB” reads as “Crystal GB” in your head. Hee.
P.S. In my head, gas is always free — did I mention that I live on a farm, and we have cows? You do thinkin’ on that one — gas is always here, always free.
