velvetpageI have an in-service tomorrow morning. Because it's board-wide, they gear the time frames to mesh with as many schools as possible. So it starts at 8:30. My part of it will be over at 11:30, and the second in-service starts at 12:30. I only have to be at the first one, but we've booked one supply for the whole day, to cover me in the morning and another teacher in the afternoon.
The good side: I will start my day at least an hour later than usual, because I don't have to be at school at 7:00. Also, I will teach approximately seventy-five minutes total all day, because by the time most schools finish their mornings, ours is halfway through the afternoon. Tough luck for the guy going to the 12:30 in-service, but I've had to do a few of those as well. Getting the morning one is a nice bonus. I will have the car for the day, which means no slogging through the snow to pick up the baby from daycare in the afternoon, and I should be able to squeeze in a workout and some grocery shopping.
The bad side: I have to drop Elizabeth at daycare somewhat earlier than usual, because I have to be at the other end of the city with her only means of transportation, half an hour before she usually gets to daycare. I hope she's willing to wake up tomorrow. Also, I will probably need to stay a bit late tomorrow, because I am once again behind on my marking. (If I ever get caught up, I'm going to hire a skywriter to announce the miracle to the world.)
I think I'll stay up writing a bit late tonight. Say, 10:30.
