Candy is basically poison.

The warning labels backfired: they stimulated the nucleus accumbens, sometimes called the “craving spot,” which lights up on f.M.R.I. whenever a person craves something, whether it’s alcohol, drugs, tobacco or gambling.
The other day I let some elem. kids each choose a sticker after playing a game (it's a really small class so it doesn't take much time). There were very few of the popular kind left and as a student was choosing, my coT asked "Can I have a sticker?" and reached out to take one. Fortunately she listened when I told her to "Please wait" and let the child choose first but come on Literally nearly every time I give them stickers she has to have one too. But can you at least wait last and let the kids have first choice? I kinda wish there had only been enough of that kind of sticker for the students so she wouldn't have gotten one. It's not like I buy these stickers for her

Unreal.I share an office with a teacher who is known for having a drawer of treats and so the same six or seven students will bring their screeching and general noise pollution in during the breaks to beg for food like they're stray cats. Those 10 minutes of relative peace are totally shot. What's this? "It's a pencil."HAVE A CANDY

Is it a rule that all middle school secretaries have to be as loud and annoying as possible? I swear the one at this school answers the phone every time with the equivalent of "HELLO YOU HAVE REACHED _____ MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS IS _______. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CALLING. YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US. HOW MAY I DIRECT YOUR CALL TODAY?" Every single time. And then the line disconnects somehow and she answers immediately with the entire speech. It got ridiculous last winter break when the students were prank calling the school.
Oh cool, we've wheeled in the electric heaters. Ironically, they left the door next to me wide open when doing so so it felt like my desk was in the arctic. I look forward to the power surges the heaters will periodically cause that make my computer turn off randomly a few times each day.
My elem. coT asked me when my main school's winter vacation started so I told her (January) and she acted all shocked and asked if I was sure and said she didn't think so-- I cut her off and informed her that we have classes until the end of December just like last year (and just like elem school) and that I have a school calendar. I don't know why she thinks she knows my school's schedule better than I do She then proceeded to go on and say how elem. school has to have classes in Feb. (for two weeks or whatever) and I told her that middle school also has a week of classes in Feb. but she just seemed to be in complete disbelief. This exchange along with random comments of how I must have "so much free time" now along with talking about how "busy" she is makes me feel like she's trying to have a pissing contest about who works more. Judging from the work ethic I've observed, I'm pretty sure I know who the winner is.
