Funny thing...

In order to earn my share of the bills around our house, I teach computer classes at night for CSI. I just started teaching my new round of Buying and Selling on eBay last week when a funny thing happened. My started class as usual, telling my students that my name is Lance and I'm an english major at ISU and that I hoped you would have fun and learn a lot during the course. After about 2 hours of getting them logged into eBay (I was proud of myself, 2 hours is not a long time when they don't even know where the shift key is!) and I logged myself in.
Of course I don't use my real name as my username, I go by Olsen Potter in almost all of my online transactions, and so when I logged in the screen said, "Hi, Olsen Potter". Normal, I thought, I mean I had told them my real name at the beginning of class.
I was taken back for a moment then when all of my students started calling me Mr. Potter. Not one to ruin such a perfect moment for a joke I replied, "Please, just call me Olsen." Which they then proceeded to do. Funny.
But it got even more funny when I went to tutor the next day and my boss came in to tell that she would have to fire me. Why? I asked. Well, one of my students complained about me never showing up for class. Flabbergasted I defended myself as any upstanding young man (under 25, contrary to what Becca thinks, is still young), would of done; I threw up my hands and said of course I showed up last night. And then my boss, who knows me to well, started laughing and said, "She said you never did, but she sure enjoyed Mr. Potter's class."
Go figure...
