Limbo
Being a sub is...different.
I don't work every day, which is okay, because on the days I don't work, I catch up with things related to writing and rolling Lazarus out. It's a fair trade off.
But I much prefer pre-planned sub days. I like getting mentally prepared for certain classes. LOL, look at me: Zen and the Art of Subbing. But seriously, it gets weird jumping around from lower grades to upper grades. Totally different approaches to education and discipline.
Now that I know he won't be coming in until Saturday morning, I don't mind working for the rest of the week. The hair is clean and twisted. All I really gotta do is clean up my spot a little bit more.
Yesterday, we got a new sub. He seemed nice. I shook his hand, then later checked on him to see if he needed a restroom break. He didn't. It's nice getting more male subs.
Thinking back, I remember that my elementary school had a guy who I guess was like a permanent sub. Then again, maybe he was an educational aide. You couldn't tell me that man wasn't gay. Not that it matters. Looking back, he was kind of hot. Ewww he must be in his fifties by now!
I think I want to start a step team at my school. I'll be doing some extended work there in the spring, and that would be a good way to keep the kids interested. I think the boys especially need more to do. I spoke to one of the other teachers about it, and basically he's the one in charge of the existing step program. They have a mini partership with Step Afrika. -- last year, they came and ran a clinic and then had a competition at Howard. It would be NICE if we had a year-long program. We'll see.
So anyway....my point....I've been up since 5am. Why? I haven't a clue. I think I just got the 'itis last night and had to go to sleep. So now I am in that limbo period where I am awake and waiting for a phone call for me to come sub. I KNOW it's going to happen. I shouldn't even make plans for my day until like 8:00am. But I really want to get some Lazarus stuff done!
Okay, new entry....I don't like creating multiple-category entries, so the next one will be more geared toward the book.

Hmmm...are you suggesting he might not still be hot because he's in his fifties?
