For many years, I hated Jerry Lewis. The only time I'd ever see his face on TV would be on the Labor Day telethon, which acted as a constant reminder that school would begin the next day and I'd have to return to the hell hole of a school created by my idiot ex-principal. Then two things happened: we had to start reporting before Labor Day, thanks to our idiot ex-union leader Randi Weingarten, and I changed schools and got away from the hell hole.
I have no plans to watch the telethon, but I may tune in for a few minutes just to test my response. Now that we return to school after Labor Day once again, I'm wondering if I'll have that same knee jerk reaction to Lewis' face, where I want to smash the screen with a bowling ball. I doubt it, because now I work in a great school where the admins like me and I like them and the contract is generally followed. (Trust me, I know how rare this is these days.)
I'm not 100% sure how it will go, but I put The Nutty Professor in my Netflix queue. Call me an optimist.
