My "Day Off"
Workday - 10:00am-5:15pm
Funny how a day that I was supposed to take off became "just the morning to help with the move", and then turned into a full day at work. There was hardly any moving to be done today, too. We got a lot of it done on Thursday after school with help from the students. However, there was plenty of other things to get done. Moving evolved into cleaning, which evolved into organizing ... which then meant more cleaning and more moving! I found myself spending a good chunk of time cleaning a coffeemaker we dug out of one of the cupboards. It was just caked with brown, so I was soaking and scrubbing like mad. I don't even drink coffee. I just thought it would make sense for us to have one in the office.
So now everything that was in the office and band room has been piled into the vocal music room. We set up a temporary office in there, too, since most of us have lots of marking and report cards to finish. I should add that the vocal room is about 17 C. Remember that my apartment (which I've adjusted to and am comfortable) is 27 C, and the usual office is 23 C and I freeze my ass in there. I'm tempted to bring in my space heater on Monday.
The whole department also went out for lunch today. You might say it was bordering a "liquid lunch", actually. Fortunately lunch happened after nearly everything was done, but I stuck around to input marks and finish cleaning the stupid coffeemaker. I got about halfway through the marks before they all started blurring together and I felt like a nap. I don't know how anyone can manage to work under these conditions! Anyway, it was just pretty funny. I assure you I'd never do such a thing on a regular school day.
