Get so caught up in a game during lunch ...
    Keywords: Humour

For six months I've been trying to get the people around me interested in Go the way I am. The results have been very meager. So when I started this new teaching job, I hopes I might find some students who would take the bait. I started dropping hints and told students that I would show them how to play if they wanted to.

Yesterday, in class, my student Ben asked me how to play Go. I directed him to the BGA's tutorial; at the end of that day, he came back and said he wanted to play me at lunch the next day.

So we played today. A few other kids gathered around, mostly just curious. I lost track of time, and I was late getting back to my classroom. The other teachers were standing guard in the hall, trying to keep an eye on their classroom, while also monitoring my students. They gave me these really disapproving glares, and later told me just how badly I had screwed up.

Oops.
