Can't Sleep --- Impending Snow Day
According to a news article by Barbara Walters on ABC, here are the top five germiest jobs:5.) Doctor
4.) Radio DJ (??)
3.) Banker
2.) Accountant
1.) Teacher
-----------------------------------
With that said, I began my new job today at the middle school, and I was nervous until my first rehearsal, which for me was my best middle school rehearsal ever. I was still a little wordy, but better. My conducting was clean (SCT if you're reading this, notice that). The teachers there (three total!!!) have worked out a system of communication that allow the students to know when they are ready to start and when they demand attention, and it really works. We didn't have these at CHS/CMS and I could tell a big difference.
Today was the second of two get to know you days, with Friday being my first day as a sub at the school. Good news is I get paid for today and even had full privileges as a teacher in the building. I even get my own keys and my own e-mail address!!! And my own desk!!! Still share an office though.
Thus begins the first of two band placements at this school. If only getting a full time job for fall was this easy!

Meanwhile, the city I am in is projected to recieve 10 to 12 inches of snow in the next twenty-four hours. At the end of the day today as the teachers were getting ready to leave, the secretary came on and told the staff to have their emergency phone trees ready and the ringers on their phones on. One of the other teachers looked at me and said "Well, we're closed tomorrow," and started clearing off her desk for me.
A snow day always excites me, even if I don't have to work, because I know my students are excited for this.
Weather Channel predicts only 6 to 10 inches, so maybe the central line of the storm has moved south. It did say though that the snow would not let up until 10 am Friday morning. Yay!!!
We're finally getting snow in Wisconsin!!!
