WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

[Nik]

Good weekend back to long distance training yesterday now that I've recovered from covid. Also got an email from the home office, I'm now a British citizen as well as an American.

[Giles]

Many congrats on both counts Nik…

[AdamJ]

@Nkwkfld serious effort that, well done

[AdamC]

Brilliant @Nkwkfld congrats mate - we can celebrate over some Hideout Coffee doughnuts when you are next over these ways 

[popvulture]

Insanely impressive, sir!

[jerkules]

Amazing achievement, well done!

Just another working Tuesday for me, but it struck me that the classroom for my first year design and expression group (who I teach English to), is a bit different…. these are random shots of things lying about the place today.

@neph93 i’ll bite…what is the theme for this project?  Also, what age group are they?  Interesting collection, but slightly macabre.

[goosehd]

On second thought you should make us all guess.  Any chance it’s a imagery from horror movies theme?

Can’t recall… the only thing that has to do with my subject (worryingly), is the red and black basque, stockings and studded garters. One of the girls is doing a punk style board with an art history essay in English. Honest.

Oof! Dangerous waters…I don’t even want to know if it’s hers or her mom’s

One of the great things about approaching 50 is that I don’t care anymore and the young women I teach aren’t embarrassed either. I’m borderline grandpa to them.

[JoshC]

As for me, I have been in the IH repair room, giving some of you lucky people some extra life into your jeans, so you get longer with them.

that's awesome. Parents in the States would be foaming at the mouth and beshitting themselves  if their precious little knuckleheads had a class like this.
Not all of them but a lot of them

I knew it was over when women started smiling at me. ::) instead of crossing the street . though thinking about it now  they were calculating risk.

@steelworker Ed, thanks for the laugh and making me smile this morning!  @neph93 Thanks for reminding me that 50 is grandpa age

@neph93 That comment really hurt and cuts like bunions, haemorrhoids, arthritis, and kidney stones….OH shit...damn you may be right

I could theoretically be a grandpa, but 16 year olds do have a famously skewed sense of age. They think anyone over 30 is old af.

Another day in my favourite English class. They are doing vocational demonstrations and explaining/writing them up in English. They are minors, and permission was obtained to use their faces here.

They also like stealing my gear and trying it on…
