It is Columbus Day and despite the fact that our school was closed today, we still had to work. It was an in-service day. Heaven forbid we should have the day off. How could we even think that would be a possibility? (Sorry for the sarcasm.) Yes, another day of being trained and lectured and bored. I tried to glean from it what I could, but all I could think about was how nice it would have been to be home with my family today.
