Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: don’t jump the gun My garden is ruined. I told you not to jump the gun. But it was so warm last week. Yeah! And snow this week! One day several years ago when I was teaching English in Korea, my boss was giving out awards to the best teachers. I had been at the school for many years and I was quite certain that I was going to receive an award! Yep, this is what my boss said... And now it's time for the Teacher of the Year Award. Mr. Shane Peterson... (I stood up and bowed to everyone! I was saying "Thank you! Thank you...") And my boss continued... No, no. Shane, I want you to come up here and give the award to Mr. Thomas! He is our Teacher of the Year! I WAS SO EMBARRASSED! I completely ASSUMED something, and when we assume, we must be VERY careful. I needed today's expression!
