3 Minutes and Another Brick

Musical Monday: Another Brick in the Wall
Please scroll down for Monday Mayhem

Six periods. It is what my timetable says I am supposed to be dealing with today. But I did only two. Thanks to the power cut we have the rest of the day free and it's only lunchtime. Yohoh! At a quarter to 12 everyone was taking off. The parking lot was excitedly busy. Both students and faculty were in high spirits. As I made my way out of the huge gate I also found myself grinning at some students. They cast me questioning looks so I let them in, "Well, people, during times like these, teachers are probably actually happier than you lot." Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall may not absolutely reflect the culture of my workplace, but it's what rocked in my head today.

Cj hearts the hugs, Thom. With my tendency to wander, I knew I'd never make it in 3. But I enjoyed my breakfast lol!

Bodhi, he does :)

Diane, Harriet and shydub, oh yeah, that was some breakfast, lol! And Thom in bus rocks too :D

moorebloglife, I'm glad you love them

Run, the Wall is also my fave. I actually used to sing it in when I was a student and didn't like to get into class, lol... Now I just made sure I'd be singing it again on a happy perspective. Tomorrow is definitely better. Students are having meetings the whole day and teachers aren't doing hard-core teaching or brainwashing (just kidding about the latter) rofl...

I remember so well the day I first heard this song on the radio back in the early 80's - I want to say 82.. maybe 81? It was original and I loved it - so very different than Michael Jackson who was taking over the airwaves at the time.

Still love this song.... it makes me feel young again...

Thanks

I love that song, the video used to creep me out as a kid, though. I never really got into Pink Floyd, but that song is an absolute classic.

Whisper your wishes

Cross-cultural misunderstandings are rife among gestures of beckonings and farewells in different parts of our planet. For example, the American gesture for "come here" could mean "good-bye" to Italians. Axtell (1998) observes, "the way people beckon one another around the world can be almost as diverse as the way we greet and bid farewell to one another." Today we look into popular hand gestures to signal farewells and to beckon. 1. In the United States , common gesture for getting someone's attention, as when calling a waiter is to raise a hand about head high with the index finger raised (exactly the girl's hand gesture on Samulli's header ) If an American used that gesture to a waiter in Germany , saying "Water please," the German waiter would bring two glasses of water In Japan it is rude; pointing a finger at anyone is considered impolite 2. Italians and Greeks will often wave goodbye with the arm extended, palm up,...

Main course

Write From Karen For starters, I'd like some milk and whiskey.... A muscle towed my brow upward. "We are talking fine dining, people, and I want you all to go international," I announced to a group of Marketing majors last Sunday. These are what I fancied from their presentation: 1. Red mullet and skordalia (Greek) 2. Salmon sashimi with avocado (Japanese) 3. Braised halibut provencal (French) 4. Chargrilled prawns with lemongrass, tomatoes and coconut (Malaysian) 5. Lamb Steak with tequila and chilli (Mexican) 6. Veal roast with aromatic herbs and potatoes (Italian) 7. Roast mutton with red currant jelly (English) 8. Vermicilli with oyster mushrooms and king prawns (Vietnamese) 9. Somboon crab curry (Thai) 10. Chicken chow mien (Chinese American) 11. Barbecued lamb cutlets with mango and coriander salsa (African) 12. Bulalo (Filipino) 13. Paella vegetarian (Spanish) Never again will I go to work with an empty stomach .
