349: The Teacher is In

Jap Wednesday, August 18, 2010 , , ,

11:00 AM and I'm still in bed waiting for my excuse to reply.  I was supposed to go back to work today and I didn't feel like it.  I texted two people to set up a meet but it didn't happen.  11:30 and I'm in the shower.

I didn't want to be late on my first day back to work after a long holiday.  I had to be in school at noon.  Out the door at 11:50, the short walk to school should take me 10 minutes.  A quick trip to Circle K and after munching on the way, I arrived at 12:15 PM.  

"Why are you here?  Didn't you file your leave for until tomorrow?" the principal said as soon as I entered the office.

I smiled but no words can describe the self-induced brain slam inside of me.  The teacher is in and in too early. Damn it.

I made the most of the afternoon doing what they call "the other stuff teachers have to do"--prepping the classroom and making it beautiful.

Somehow, I was in the mood to work today so I got to it without grunts.  By 4:00 PM I already had the Birthdays board and the Cleaners board done.

Lesson learned and a word to the wise, it takes but a minute to recall your leave schedule.

Quick Question of the day: What's your latest blooper?
