Cool Days With Small Crises and Lots of Ink

Today was one of those days that almost started with disaster but then was pretty cool.

This week at the school where I work, all the classes have some sort of school trip or special outing. As a result, some classes are cancelled, but not every class is cancelled every day. Some are held in the morning but others are cancelled in the afternoon. Some are cancelled on days I don’t teach them but not on days I do.

As a result, it can get confusing.

Today, towards the start of classes, someone pointed out that one of the teachers hadn’t arrived yet. I texted him and went to check the schedule to see if I had arrived on time to teach classes that didn’t exist. As near as I could tell, we had class, but I was never actually sure. My colleague arrived as quickly as possible. He’d thought that today was tomorrow.

The classes I taught were pretty good for lower level classes but I don’t expect much during next week’s speeches. Then there was an early lunch and I got to come home and relax.

The weather was unseasonably cool, but still humid. After I got home, I then had to pack a box with floor flavors of ink and ready it all to ship. I then had the dilemma of deciding if I wanted to walk to the post office, even on a cool day, or get a ride, or just do it tomorrow when I’m out anyway. I opted for the responsible thing and want to the post office as tomorrow will most likely be a rainy day.

Today means I’ve shipped 74 bottles of ink, a fountain pen converter and a few notebooks. Now need to make some decisions.

Those can wait until tomorrow, though. I can do those at home, even if it rains.
