TGIF

I have a number of things to be grateful for today, starting with the fact that it’s Friday and thus the last day of my five-day stint subbing for 7th grade PE.
Even better: today all four PE classes where I’m subbing are in the multi-use room together and the head of the PE department is leading everything. Rock on. I have bee relegated to the position of a glorified hall monitor, more or less. I mostly walk around looking authoritative but don’t actually have to do anything. And I am getting paid for it!
It’s a nice change from the rest of the week, which kind of made me think of, say, that ‘used electric donkey-bottom biter’ line from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
And when I get home, after taking a nap or something similarly restorative, I get to catch up on email (I owe replies to about a jillion people, it’s sad) and then go to a party with a bunch of folks I haven’t seen since we were in school together back in the early 90s. Rah.
