Thankfuls day 5

THankful my daughter in law could take my son's application back to her work and don't have to talk him into going.
Thankful for getting 200 of the 400 letters I have to address and stuff at work done.  Halfway to done.  Yeah!
And most of all thankful that I have grown in confidence in handling people.  5 years ago I taught my first class and had a man in it named Keith.   He is bossy, arrogant and just plain rude.  I finished my class in 30 minutes as he upset me and intimidated me so.   No one learned anything.  Into my class last night he walked.  Ugh.  I was subbing for someone else and not very confident in my topic.  Was kind of shaking in my boots.  He made the first rude comment and I just looked at him and made one back.  He laughed and although he was still snotty I was snotty at him too and we got along fine.  I covered the material.  Perhaps a bit quicker than I would have, but went through it all, then spent time on the computers which was very much needed anyway.   Let him leave early, oh well, then I could spend time on my other students.   He actually was very cooperative through the computer portion and answered questions in class.   I left the class feeling very good about how I handled him.
