I take my job really seriously.  That is why when we are forced to sit through dull, even meaningless meetings I really have a hard time sitting still.  Luckily I have friends at work that have a great sense of humor to make jokes that help us survive.

Today at a meeting the speaker said something about a useless piece of laminated information.  She was so excited trying to sell it to us for $3 a kid.  Most of us have about 30 kids in our classrooms.  You do the math.  I looked across the auditorium at my friend and she pantomined frantically getting her checkbook out.  I almost fell out of my chair.  It was a good laugh and nobody got hurt, which is always a plus.
