I realize I'm a very lucky girl to be teaching where I teach and to have the coworkers I have. This lesson often presents itself during summer school, where I'm in a different school with different people. For example, here's the conversation I had with a summer school coworker last week:
Her: How's it going today?
Me: You know those days when you just want to punch a kid in the face? It's one of those.
Her: Well...that sounds a little...intense.
Me: This girl's stupidity is intense.
Her: Oh, haha... [backs away]
If I was back at my school this is how that conversation would have gone:
Coworker: How's it going today?
Me: You know those days when you just want to punch a kid in the face? It's one of those.
Coworker: Oh god, right? I swear if we could just punch, things would be better.
Me: I KNOW! Like, why can't you just pay attention?!
Coworker: Because kids are the worst and we love but hate them.
EXACTLY. And there would be a smattering of swearing in there too. And that's why my coworkers are awesome.
