This is an old staff photo - and it actually has not much to do with my post, but I always like a picture!!
7 months after retiring, I went on my first sub assignment today. I wondered how I would do, how I would feel, how I would like it.
Well, I think I did fine - no one ran away or got injured or complained to the principal. I felt fine too - but my feet did hurt. And I liked it fine. There is something liberating about being in front of a classroom of students - and knowing that it's a "one night stand!" (although I am subbing again tomorrow for Marcie - she had a meeting today but was feeling unwell, so decided to take a day to get better.)
Maybe I will get tired of it. Maybe I will hit some "loser" classes and not enjoy it as much. But it's fun to see old friends. It's nice to be back in an atmosphere that I mostly enjoyed.
The money is nice too.
