Eight Years
« on: September 29, 2007, 12:51:36 AM »
Eight years I gave to you
And now it’s time to leave
I’ve given you all I had
But that you won’t believe.
As I look into the trunk
A box, a backpack, a coffee pot
Is what I leave possessing
And much more you have not.

Cheers

Are you telling us what I think you are telling us?

I hope it's not what I think it means.

Will I get Night Owl points for quitting but not as much for getting fired?
Will I still be a member of the Owl's Pals? I'd hate to turn in my card. It's got a real owl feather under the lamination and everything.

Night Owl: Oh, indeed. I quit many a job ...better than being fired. You can keep your card... in fact, you get double points for quitting!

Sorry for the commotion!

I've just taken over at a much larger school (3 tiems the size of my real one) while their principal is on leave. This is until the end of the year. So as not to cramp the style of the person relieving me, I took my personal possessions out of my office. As i Looked into the trunk before I drove away that was what I had in it and thought that was what I had after eight years. I twisted it a bit.

Apologies for the heart palpatations. Charlie and I are still very much in love.

Well, she loves me and I love her boobs.

 ;D

After 8 years I'd prolly only have a coffeepot. Or two. Or three.

Hell, I'd have a fucking collection of brewers! Well, regardless, enjoy the new place whilst it lasts :)

I'll assume you Oz-land folks do the continuous grade 1-8 thing in your elementary schools. That would mean that kids who just finished kinder-garden when you first got to the post would've really known only you as their principal.

Which makes you totally the man.

Good luck with the new job. I suggest making a mess of the old guy's paperwork while he's gone.

My first thought was his car as well. (The whole looking in the trunk thing.)

Or do you guys call it a "boot" like the pommies?

We pretty much use whichever word comes to mind.
Of course, for them its usually "Crikey" or "struth!" :P

Actually, I used "trunk" to recognise the international flavour of the audience.

Normally, I'd use "boot", or "dead body tranport receptacle".

You had me scared for a minute, but I realized that you and Charlie have been together far longer than 8 yrs.. For a change, you didn't get me! :P


speaking of Charlie, tell her I said hi. It's been ages since she's been on the board. I used to talk to her on ICQ, but I haven't had ICQ in years.
