It must be starting to happen because today I had a totalling weird feeling while standing and talking to PhD? Sparty and IvyL in the back of the room. What happened you say. Well, I think I just might be getting a little old. Then I thought about it for a minute and decided I'm not old but something just wasn't right. It finally dawned on me what was wrong.
For the better part of the day I'm seated in the back of the room at my desk. Technically it's not a desk but it is a computer table without the computer and a small rectangular table that are arranged in the shape of an L. If I need to move it is usually for one of two reasons. First to get closer to a scholar who is on the verge of an eruption so I can keep the scholar from hurting himself or others. Second to move closer to the door to keep scholars from running out of the room. So for most of the day I remain seated as I'm either helping a scholar with academics or observing scholar behavior. When someone like PhD? Sparty or IvyL enter the room I remain seated. It's not like I'm being disrespectful because I have on occasion offered them a chair but they usually remain standing and I stay seated.
All of that changed today because all three of us were standing and talking. While doing so I kept looking at them from head to toe. No, not like some kind of masher but looking at them because something just wasn't right. Finally I figured it out. I'm not seated when I'm talking to them. I'm standing and they are standing and I discovered today for the first time that I much taller than either one of them.
