Tomorrow, I'll be spending the day training to become...
a substitute teacher.
No, I'm not kidding. I'm just a sick, sick person.
Here's my justification: certified teachers who sub in this district get paid pretty well. I don't have to plan lessons or grade papers. I can choose when I want to work. I get to leave when the bell rings at the end of the day. And I'll probably get some good stories out of it.
Still, there's a vision of me facing a roomful of snarky high school students who all swear to me that they don't have assigned seats and that their teacher actually lets them snort lines off their desks before the lesson starts.
I hope they cover that in the training tomorrow. It will undoubtedly be enlightening.

Well, it's good blog material. And Twitter material. And leaving when the bell rings and not thinking about work again until you're back there work.
Yeah, those are pretty much the good things about it. I highly recommend high school over middle school.
OMG. Well, it could be worse. You could (still) live in North Carolina.
Good luck. If it turns out to be not completely harrowing, let me know. I may have to consider it, since poverty seems to be the Bush legacy of choice.
You ARE a glutton, huh?
