I made it in to work several minutes early on account of how sheepish I felt from Friday. I absolutely did not want to be there. It wasn&#8217;t bad work though, because Jeff had individual carts set up for each hallway at the middle school, and we all split up to deploy them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josh ended up sharing a cart with me since we had so many people there, and we covered one of the sixth grade hallways. We had a lockdown drill in the middle of it, and I made sure to stay in a dark room, but mistakenly thought the window was covered and didn&#8217;t hide in the corner. Evidently they saw me, and called me out by name, so I&#8217;m just waiting for that writeup too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Infuriatingly, none of the classrooms we visited were actually doing anything other than holiday activities like drawing or goofing off. One of them was specifically watching <em>Arthur Christmas<\/em>, which burned after being written up for publishing a FICTIONAL POEM ABOUT TEACHERS SHOWING MOVIES because it would be poor use of instructional time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lunch was about as unawkward as possible with Thomas, Zach, and Josh. Most of us got the burrito supreme lunch, which was a pretty great deal. Then we went back to the shop and I spent the afternoon with Jacob. We ran to Dwight to take care of a ticket, and then spent the remainder of the day in my office trying to convince Kelsea to move to Peru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After work, I stopped by the wash to visit Summer, who was mostly busy with work stuff. They had several cars come in, which was good, but also meant I didn&#8217;t get to visit with her much. The wash was really impressive, but I&#8217;m still upset that they aren&#8217;t cleaning interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, I went across town to visit with Mom. She worked really late, so I tried to get dinner warmed up for her before she walked in. I didn&#8217;t have to wait long though, and then she was more worried about feeding me than eating anything herself. I got everything warm and ate, and then she finished some soup and kicked me out before it got too late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Autumn went to her father&#8217;s for the evening for some reason, but Eaddie and Summer were home. Eaddie was laying in Autumn&#8217;s bed for most of the evening just because her bed was messy. Eventually she came out to play some flute for us, and then everyone was off to bed. I stayed up chatting with Ben for a while just to get some advice in dealing with our new bully superintendent. I ended the night pretty defeated though, so it may just be time to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Burned Out<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer got up super early this morning for opening day at the new wash in town.
