Sometimes You Are So Smart...

One of the things that I love about visiting the sisters down in the Counseling Corner is their "love for one another". Like right now: they're standing around each other, each working on separate tasks but there is this awesome sisterhood thing that occurs down here. Even their insults and candid comments do not wound deeply as might occur elsewhere:
Carebear: "Do they kill peacocks to get their feathers?"
MegaWeave: "That is a BAD question. I mean really.. Sometimes you are so smart, but THAT question.."
Carebear: [laughter] [both continue to work feverishly]
--that's it; no retaliation... just laughter and smiles as both their eyes never leave what they are working on.

First of all, to stay on task like they do is an amazing reality to an individual such as myself! [SQUIRREL!] Their professional acuity is marvelous--even now MegaWeave is discussing her backyard fire-pit and typing so fast that it sounds like machine-gun fire from Julius and Brian playing Call of Duty-3 at the Den of Men.
Even El Guapo, the men among the sisters, is cranking it non-stop, while Care-Bear and Trigger continue to work on next year's schedules as they each migrate back to their respective offices. It's amazing how much this office accomplishes behind the scenes, so much we take for granted by the time the school year starts again.
And I sit here like a lump.
It's quite intimidating, actually.
So I think I'll lumber away and recycle paper or do something else that may possibly give me some hope of being as cool as they are.
I'm also disappointed that nobody wants to go eat chips and salsa at Pappasito's.

I'm a teacher. It's summer. I'm still up at school.
Jesus, thank you for our community at HC. I love you.
