Five years ago this week I started teaching at Hirsch. On the second day of training we met out in the ‘burbs at what was then a corporate conference center run by Arthur Anderson. (I doubt it is anymore.) So we were in our “computer training sessions” and I got paired up at a monitor with a cute red-headed English teacher. At the time, of course, I was dating someone else and thought it was pretty serious. Still, this other teacher and I had so much fun that day making fun of everything related to the corporate conference center and correcting other people’s grammar and spelling, surreptitiously, of course. We were typing messages and then quickly erasing them so our snarky comments wouldn’t be noticed by others. All of a sudden though, I think this other teacher started to have too much fun with me because he writes some comment that is a total non-sequitur about “his girlfriend”. I thought to myself, “OK buddy, wasn’t hitting on you, easy with the girlfriend comment.” So of course I write back, “My boyfriend sometimes says that too.” So it’s on at that point. This other teacher and I furiously masked our inappropriate flirting by continued discussions of how awesome our significant others were. Joel lasted with his girlfriend for two more months. I made it three. Shortly after that we went to the movies… but that’s a story for another day.
