Meet the Underlings (TT 59)

21 Aug

I survived the first official day with staff on Wednesday.  I was welcomed by many of them personally, and others seemed relieved just to know that my predecessor would not be back.  I am a people watcher at heart, and I spent the majority of the day observing and listening to the staff interact with one another.

It is my pleasure to use this week’s Thursday Thirteen to introduce my readers to 13 staff members I will undoubtedly be writing more about on I Read Banned Books during the 2008-09 school year.

  1. G’ma Moses
  2. Red Headed Stepchild
  3. Patty Perfect
  4. Ms. Neurotic
  5. Husband to a Mail Order Chinese Bride
  6. Dirty Old Bastard
  7. The Sheep (possibly Princess Ewe instead)
  8. Chester the Molester
  9. Fu Manchu
  10. Little Miss Skankypants
  11. Marian the Librarian
  12. Thin Jillette
  13. Ricky Martin

Who can you hardly wait to know more about first?

    I wanna hear about Thin Jillette and Dirty Old Bastard first. I think Marian the Librarian is my son’s librarian…but only if she had the “Stepford Wife Stare”

    The amusing stories might help a little, tiny bit toward missing you during the day. A tiny bit.

    Oooooh. Ooooh! I want to know about Little Miss Skankypants. I’m fascinated. Utterly fascinated. And a little (just a little) excited to learn more.

    I wanna know if Ricky Martin hooks up with Little Miss Skankypants.

  6. Ruprecht August 21, 2008 at 2:13 am #

    Rupe’s favorites – just from their names alone – are (in no particular order):

    - The Sheep (Rupe’s diggin’ Princess Ewe … Rupe thinks he’s got a favorite already …..)
    - Thin Jillette
    - Little Miss Skankypants

    Anticipation …..

    Good to hear you made it through Day One, cv.

    Bestest ………………. Ruprecht

    I want to know more about Marian the Librarian.

  8. Bernie August 21, 2008 at 2:39 am #

    Yuk! LOL! From the sound of it I would not want to work with one of these idiots. Good luck to you!

    Wow! That’s quite a collection after one day. I can’t wait to read more.

    Frightening that some one in a middle school would get the name, “Chester the Molester.” Whoa!

    Princess Ewe – LMAO!

    So many good ones to choose from… I’m not sure who I want to read more about first! Little Miss Skankypants and Husband to a Mail Order Chinese Bride sound like they’ll be tons of fun!

    This is going to be a fun year by the looks of that list. I’m sure Dirty Old Bastard will have something to say to Little Miss Skankypants.

  12. liprap August 21, 2008 at 8:29 am #

    Little Miss Skankypants, madame. I’m sure there’s loads of tales in those undies.

  13. saintseester August 21, 2008 at 8:43 am #

    You know there are going to be some good stories about Patty Perfect… And, I am sure Miss Skankypants will factor into whatever annoys Patty Perfect.

    Ms Neruotic. I’m already writing about someone who might be similar.

  17. citizenjaney August 21, 2008 at 1:22 pm #

    Husband to a Mail Order Chinese Bride is first on my list, followed by Chester the Molester and G’ma Moses.

  18. Chris August 21, 2008 at 2:14 pm #

    Oh they all sound very exciting, but I can’t wait to hear about The Sheep and Little Miss Skankypants. Happy TT

    Ricky Martin, he rocks my pants off (hopefully).

  20. On a limb with Claudia August 21, 2008 at 3:56 pm #

    I love husband to the mail order chinese bride. You just crack me up. I’m a little surprised at the lack of ‘I’m going to kick your ass’ colleagues, but the year is young.

    Good luck!

    Oh my this is gonna be fun!! Princess Ewe is awesome.

  22. Eeyore's Tail August 21, 2008 at 9:22 pm #

    Great list! I can’t choose one. I just really looking forward to reading your blog throughout the year! I thought Grandma Moses had left. No call, no show? I guess that doesn’t get you fired anymore.
