bad news
Went to work today. I don't have a classroom. I'm a "traveller", so I'll be living off a cart.
Maybe Peter Sweeney was right. Maybe my ancestors were Tinkers*.
It's not as bad as all that, really. The teachers I met were super nice and friendly, some of them even said they'd "heard good things" about me. My schedule is decent enough, besides the fact that i have to bop around between rooms. My department chair is fantastic. Everything seems to be awesome.
Really, only other teachers can understand the disappointment. Everyone else is like, "oh look on the bright side." Well, yes, I don't have to clean out a dusty old room, and I don't have to spend my very scant money on supplies and so forth.
But really. A CLASSROOM. You're hardly a teacher without one.
I know I promised I wouldn't write about work. Next post, I swear, no more work talk.
* Tinkers - Irish gypsies. It's pretty much a derogatory word. And no, my ancestors were not Tinkers.
