Trying to be supportive

Sometimes I'm not as supportive of Andrew as I could should be.

He works a lot. But he REALLY LIKES to work. So who am I to say that his hobby can't also be his work?

He sent me this email today, and I tried for the life of me, to figure out what on earth he (or was he trying to imply we?) should go to. A lot of times he has teacher or technology things scheduled on Saturdays, and he tries to check in with me before committing. Was this the case? Was it a workshop so that he could be the registered Help Desk provider at his school? Were we both going to learn about the Help Desk?

I read the email at least five times.

And finally just responded with, "I don't get it...but I like you."

Turns out, this wasn't the email he meant to send. You know, the one about the Cross Country State Meet he thinks would be nice to go to.

This would be nice to go to, do you think? ///// Mr. Coy ////  Digital Harbor High School ///   Teacher / Webmaster //    abcoy@bcps.k12.md.us /     410-929-4204 _____   _     _  _     _   _____ (_____) (_)   (_)(_)   (_) (_____) (_)  (_)(_)___(_)(_)___(_)(_)___   (_)  (_)(_______)(_______)  (___)_ (_)__(_)(_)   (_)(_)   (_)  ____(_) (_____) (_)   (_)(_)   (_) (_____) ------ Forwarded Message From: Digital Help Desk <webhelpdesk@digitalharbor.org> Date: Tue, 1 Nov 2011 13:26:50 -0400 To: Andrew Coy <abcoy@bcps.k12.md.us> Subject: Web Help Desk Support Contract Reminder Your Web Help Desk support contract expired on 10/31/11.
