No Laundry

I haven't done my laundry in a week. Oops, that's a lie. I should say: I haven't done my laundry in 7 years, but Poo hasn't done my laundry in a week.

Poo and the boys are home now, and I'm so happy to see them. However, they haven't been in Bangkok for a week and the dirty laundry has been piling up (not to mention the old cups of Mama Noodles!).

Today I went to work. Without clean laundry I went unshaven, unkempt, uncombed and wearing a scrappy old pair of jeans and a long-lost t-shirt.

The teachers said:

"You look like you just came from Afghanistan!"
"Here's 10 baht, go buy yourself a shave!"
"Have you just come from Soi 7?"

The students said:

"Mr Mick, I'm so happy to see you!"
"Did I tell you about the gears problem on the exam?"
"I have you for History next year--I will be the best student you've ever had!"
"I'm ready for Further Math!"

That's why I like being a teacher--so I can talk to fun people, students, and I don't have to talk to boring people, other teachers!
