My classroom is completely ready to go other than a single piece of furniture, which needs to be delivered, removed from its box, and placed in its appointed location. I still don’t have any goddamn textbooks or anything like that, mind you, but the room is ready. I’ll probably go in tomorrow anyway just to see what kind of trouble I can get myself into.

In the “good news/bad news” department, it looks like we’ve got a fully staffed Math department for the first time since I’ve been in this building. This is good news because it means I don’t have to teach an overload, but it’s bad news because it means I don’t get to teach an overload, and I’m vulnerable to getting called for class coverage on my prep period. So I won’t be getting as big a paycheck as the last couple of years, because that bump from overloads is substantial. But I actually get to, like, breathe, and occasionally take a leisurely piss, during the school day. That’s gotta count for something, right?

I think I’ll work on sub plans and early photocopying tomorrow. God forbid I get that shit done before school starts. I’ll also get some pictures; I forgot to do that today.
