I'll Take Things I Don't Want To Hear on a Tuesday Morning for $2000, Alex
- "Sorry, we've only brewed decaf coffee so far."*
- "No, ma'am, we've discontinued that Aveda product you've been using so blissfully for the last three years."
- "I know you're in the middle of a class, but just off the top of your head, could you put together a comprehensive list of books for me on the topic of history in the Middle East that includes both a recent chronological layout and primary source documents? No? Well could you do it for me by third period?"
- "I know we told you that you'd be eligible to receive Professional Development Points for that conference last month. We were wrong."
- "As you can see, tomorrow's agenda includes a three hour seminar on Sexual Harrassment. We will be looking for volunteers to role play."
Sigh. This is going to be a rough week.
*Who the eff brews decaf first? Like anyone's going to rush in, already late for work, just so they can get their decaf fix?

I say, do an amazon search of "middle east history", hit the print button, and tell that teacher to shut it!
p.s., i love that there is both a "concise history of the middle east", as well as "a brief history of the middle east".

Considering the average age of the books in my library is 1989, I would say that the most current info. I have on the Middle East would be... gee, before the Gulf War? Would that be a help?
