I was searching the internet ( at work...tsk.tsk.) for what I could find out about Hopkin Green Frog. ( p.s. I am still at work so I will make this quick!) The phenomenon is interesting but I will blog more on that later. (I found it interesting that the TYPES of websites where you could find information on this meme...( boing.boing., etc.) seemed to share some similarities...which makes sense because it reflects the virtual social circles one travels. But one site ( urbandictionary.com) caught my eye...so after reading the information on Hopkin Green....I did some searching on this site of my own...I looked up a few slang words and giggled a bit or frowned at others. ( Check this site out...it is an EDITABLE dictionary. You can post your own definitions to words! That is a powerful example of the COLLECTIVE intelligence we have been reading about BUT I think it has some dangerous implications. )
I can't go too far off on a tangent so let me bring it back...Anyway...On this site I began to look up some very offensive terms to see what folks were saying. LONG STORY SHORT....I was searching an EXTREMELY sensitive term ( think about all the trouble Isiah Washington has been in for his recent comments about a co-star on Grey's Anatomy)...YUP...That's the one! Just as the definition populated on my screen....MY BOSS WALKS INTO MY CUBICLE WITH A PRINCIPAL! I couldn't close my screen in time so I fiddled a little to get her the information she wanted but I am sure they both knew I was NOT working...(well, not for the EO Board at least.) UUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! I feel like freaking Charlie Brown....People only notice when I mess up!!!!!!!! I've been working hard as hell lately, staying late nights, working weekends, busting my ass!!!!!!! AND OF ALL TIMES for someone to walk in! AND of all people!!! I am such an idiot!

No worries Koree! I think everyone that knows you realizes what a hard working, consciencious, young lady you are! My principal walked up to me this week also and read my screen as I was about to click on this week's assignments. Although I was on my lunch break, I still felt as though I had been caught doing something wrong. I can therefore definately relate to how you feel.
