(Substitute) x (Talk) = Stress²

ophelia by ophelia · Apr 20, 2004 · 192 views · · · Journal

I don't know about you people..but..I've ALWAYS had a very very hard time being willing when it comes to doing subs...Like..I know we're supposed to jump at the opportunity to help out in God's house..but..The lack of prep time is soooo annoying, this is like one of the very few things that truely stresses me out - and, what'a ya know..I just happen to be the school overseer's son..so, I get "first dibs" on everything..."sigh"....Why meeeeeee!!!!!!....I guess I better get goin on this talk..."Why Marriage Is An Everlasting Bond"...My dad thinks that by some divine intervention I got assigned this talk because, supposedly, there's this girl he thinks I like and if you like somebody, it MUST mean you're fixing on marrying them, RIGHT?!(I can't stand parental views sometimes)...funny...i'm not even slightly attracted to this girl in question..anyway, yeah, gota get goin, the talk awaits..

dude...i seriously hear that. all the time, gettin talks that shouldn't be assigned. anyway, haha, use the phrase "the watchtower says" or "the faithful and discreet slave counsels us" so this way it's not so weird, a twenty one year old single person commenting on marriage...hope that helps

i'm glad those days are over.

i use to be a school assistant. so if there was a no show..
i'd do the talk.

one month, i did 4 talks. thats one everyweek. last minute.

well on the 4th week i had no idea what to talk about.
i did a horrible job. the 5 minute talk turned out to be about 2.5 minutes.

never done a substitute since.
