Workday!

Today was a teacher workday. Many times I get asked what do you have to do on a workday. Here is a list of what I did today:

1. Write a purchase order for 2 more marching baritones.

2. Write a purchase order to pay for field lining paint.

3. Call the copier maintanance person and have the copier worked on.
4. Work on individual student schedule problems with guidance.
5. Clean my office.
6. Print class rosters for tomorrow.
7. Count and turn in money.
8. Fill the Coke machine.
9. Take out the trash. (This should change soon!)
10. Call transportation to check on the activity bus for the middle school students tomorrow.
11. Pick out some new stands music.
12. Order staff shirts.
13. Order show shirts.
14. Organize for my first homeroom ever! I feel sorry for the M's in the 10th grade.

Here a few unexpected things that came up:

1. A new student - I talked to her and her father for about 30 minutes.
2. A faculty meeting at 1:30 - It was very short though.
3. A good talk with the principal for about 20 mintues.

So do I have stuff to do on a workday? Plenty of it. Tomorrow is the first day of school. (Yeah right! We have been at school for 3 weeks now.) We also have our first afterschool rehearsal.

By the way, little Ted went to the vet today to have his teeth cleaned. This is a big deal for a little dog and he seems to be fine! A little groggy but he needed it for his own health. Dogs with problems like this can die if it is not taken care of. At the top is a good picture of the boy.
