Music makes the people fucking bored

I went back to work today to find myself subbing for a music teacher. Probably the worst possible teacher to sub for. All you do is set up the tv & vcr to watch a movie. Easier said than done. The only movies available to watch were all seen by the classes at least 2 times already over the years. So they are bored. I'm bored sitting there. About 10 minutes into the movie with the first class, I could tell they were ready to cry, so I stopped it and started playing Simon Sez with them. They seemed relieved the movie was stopped. Unfortunately, the 3rd class of the day is the Kindergarten from hell. Surprisingly, they were pretty good today. They didn't understand the concept of sitting down when they messed up in Simon Sez, but that was ok. They weren't running around and playing with the instruments in the room. The day went ok after all, except her last class in our school ends at 2. She goes to another school in the district to teach the last period. The principal asked me if I would go to the other school to help them out. So I did.

When I got there, they didn't know I was coming and were all a bunch of jackasses. They treated me like crap. I had never been to the school before, so I didn't know where to go. Instead of making a wisecrack about how bad their school was and assuming I know where all the classrooms are, they should have showed me where to go and introduce me to the teacher I was doing the favor for. Anyway, they didn't. I hope I never have to sub in their school again. I was doing them a favor but they just sucked. It's over.

I'm excited for Friday. I hope the interview goes well. I then have to go to a holiday party for the teachers at my school at one of the teacher's houses. Considering I'm one of maybe 10 males that work in the school, it should be interesting conversation. And I forgot that I still have to buy a grab-bag gift. I really hope I don't come home with feminine products as my gift.
