Need a minute.

I have been at school all day with 8th graders. During exam week. With a cold front. And I'm pretty sure there was a full moon at some point. I even held tutorials during my lunch. I have literally been in the room with students since 7:30 A.M. I visited with my high school visitors (former students) until 4:20. And then I arrived home to this.

That little red light blinking away. Who could it be? A call from my congressman? A congratulations you just won the Publisher's Clearinghouse call? A hang up? Oh, no. That would be a little too much positive to balance out the negative in my day. It. was. a. student.


Please, please, please, do not call a teacher at home to ask about homework. I beg of you. I am not a DR. I am not "on-call". I do NOT need to be reachable 24 hours a day. I have a teacher web page and e-mail. I even have voicemail at school. I do not need to come home to your voice on my answering machine too.


*ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHH*


Ok, you may now resume whatever you were doing, I'm off to check about an unlisted number.
