Work makes a person forgetful.

So, in the time since I made my last blog, I did get the job I thought I wasn't getting.

Last night, I talked crap about how the Beavers defense and offense was inept so far, and then blammo...they start kicking butt.

Hm, that gets me thinking...you know, I could joke about getting married..

Anyways, it's been a while since I posted here. Not a long time, but just about a month. In that time, I started working back in the district I've worked in since 2007. It's really fun, and more meaningful than what I did last year. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed my time. It, however, felt like my Voltron analogy.

What's my Voltron analogy you ask?

In the 1980's, a great new cartoon was introduced to all boys (and some girls) under the age of 15. Although I'm sure some of them were over 15 too. This great cartoon was Voltron (Defender of the Universe) . It was was about 5 robot lions and together they would create Voltron, a Robot that would defend the Universe from....You know what? If you don't know what Voltron is, google it.

So as I was saying, there was Voltron. Kids grew up watching Voltron, and loved it. Well, liked it. One day, a new Voltron show was put on the air. This time it wasn't about Lions, but instead cars. You read that right, cars. Together they would form Voltron, Defender of a different portion of the Universe.

And to kids, it was like someone showing you Transformers, and then Go-Bots.

So the Car Voltron, while still Voltron, just seemed wrong. They had a shared name, shared concept and in some cases, shared characters (well, they looked a lot like other characters. Surprisingly, many of the main characters looked alike). But it was lame ass.

For those who are still reading but have no idea what I'm talking about, it's like when Beau and Luke replaced Coy and Vance. Sure, they're still "Duke" boys, but "Beau" and "Luke"? Laaaaame.

Or, it's like seeing the facebook pages of friends you went to high school with and seeing the middle school or elementary school pictures. You realize that it's still a school, and they probably had similar cliques and groups, etc, but it's almost like you're watching a foreign film without subtitles. The difference is their horrible 4th grade teacher wasn't named Mr. Novitsky, their middle school didn't change names in the 8th grade, and they didn't have an awesome shop teacher like Mr. Anderson.

I guess my point is that last year, when I returned to the Middle School I worked at, felt a lot like Voltron (or Dukes, or grade school comparisons). I knew where I was. I knew a lot of the students, and I knew a few of the teachers. But the plot changed a bit, and some of the characters resembled ones in the previous show, and it was just strange.

This year, it's like I'm back watching Voltron, even though the students I know/recognized were all from my initial job at the high school and not the middle school. However, it is a job I like a TON more than last year even though I absolutely loved working at the MS two years ago.

This blog was random because I hope to edit it later.
