Paper-waster extraordinaire

This week the teachers have the old parent-teacher meeting thing happening. Here the teachers actually go to all the kids' houses individally. I almost feel sorry for them. Imagine all the bowing and "please excuse the mess" (said by a housewife standing in a spotless kitchen) crap they will have to deal with! But it is good for me because it eliminates half the staff population and leaves me free to do as I like. Well, except for the masses of posters I have been asked to re-make because the old ones are starting to look slightly faded. As good a way to waste paper, time and my brain cells as any I guess. Plus it means that lunch is brought forward 20 minutes so I only have to be starving hungry in the late afternoons now! This week I am eating lunch with the grade 6 class and they are too cool to talk to me, but they get more food so I am happy.
