I stand and wander about the front, but tend to lean on the podium/computer center a lot.
Last year, when I was having my heart attack, I didn't move around all that much and broke another cardinal rule: let them go early.
Good heavens! That's a scary thing to think about, der_gadfly. Obviously, you've recovered, but I hope you were able to get help quickly in that scenario! |

I don't sit down if my ass is tender.

I like standing up so I can prowl more easily, but mostly I sit down and gesticulate wildly and maniacally, which gives the impression of constant motion.
Everyone stays alert and slightly frightened.
The Fiona
P. S. Weird colleagues of the past: (1) The one who would crawl into the classroom, then nudge his head under his hat, which was already sitting on the desk. (2) The one who prided himself on teaching standing up ("I'm a standup guy"), but who would come to class drunk now and then. One time he stood up, fell over, and passed out. He's one of the rare cases I know of where tenure was broken.

I was awestruck at the concept of paying nearly $600 for a pair of shoes. Seriously, I draw the line at about $40 for everyday shoes, and only rarely break $100 for formal interview shoes. There's a whole web site devoted to weird shoes, of course. These would be great in a power outage. |

Oh, yes, my budget does not permit actually purchasing any of those shoes. Well, one pair is $90, which is out of my range but which I could stretch to if they were the only pair of shoes that would do. But, a girl can dream, can't she? VP wishful thinker |

But, one pair reminded me of the shoes a male friend was wearing when I first met him: they looked something like these. |

Dr. Anakin sits high and mightily in her office while she condemns students to lives of misery and drudgery, washing out their husbands' underwear in filthy water. In addition, she is a horrible teacher. She welcomes you to Introduction to Biology!

Hehehe...Actually, the shoes were the topic of the very first conversation I ever had with the guy! They really were kind of neat--it's not a look that too many people could pull off, y'know! Now, if they had real fish in them, I'd consider investing in a pair, just for the giggles that would ensue when I showed them off in my intro zoology class! |

Good heavens! That's a scary thing to think about, der_gadfly. Obviously, you've recovered, but I hope you were able to get help quickly in that scenario! I retrospect, yeah, especially considering that I drove home an hour and change after that. It wasn't one of those "collapse" types, but the folks at the hospital said it was a very erratic beat pattern, up-and-down BP, and a few other things that I don't recall, all of which were some form of heart attack. The next week, some poor little smartypants wandered in 20 minutes late, and claimed he had missed the previous class because he had had "the sniffles". Needless to say, just about all the students gave hm the riot act ( I had told my class what had happened). Strange, noone missed the class due to illness again! |

I tend to slouch, actually. It makes the drooling less obvious. Or at least that's what they've written on the evals.
