mortensorchid Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 I had a subbing job at a suburb of my city in the high school. When the students come in and out of the place, I would go out in the hallway and watch them in the waves coming to and fro. (I saw some other teachers in rooms nearby do this so I knew to do this as well.) I saw another teacher from one of the rooms nearby and he said hello in passing. He threw something away in a garbage can I was standing near. He turned to me and said there was nothing worse than biting into an apple that has gone bad. I said "That's nasty!" And he said it was, and then he walked away. I had them for a few periods then I come out into the hallway and see him again in passing. I said hello. He asked if I sub here a lot, I said yes I do. He told me his first name, and I told him my first and last. He said he always sees that name on the sub lists for the day in the office (as in mine). I said "Well, yes I sub here quite a bit." (Which is true now.) He said he will keep me in mind as he might need a sub coming up soon - as in specifically request me? Maybe ... He was quite cute. This time I went over to his room at the end of the day and made sure to note his last name. I went home and Googled him. It made me sad though because he's 29 and I'm about to be 45. I don't look my age and I don't act like it either. I felt a little spark for him, but ... If he knew how old I was he wouldn't look twice at an old woman like me. Just wanted to share...

basil67 Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 Just did my research and he's married. So enough of that. Ah well, life goes on. And it's wise to not poop where you eat anyway. Glad you've got a bit of networking happening there. I am curious to know what you perceive a 45yo to be doing in terms of acting their age
FMW Posted September 20, 2019 Posted September 20, 2019 It's nice to be reminded we can still feel a spark though!
