Just who am I anyway?

Monday I was Jimmy on the bus, and Heather in the school. Tuesday was Halloween and I followed my usual schedule.
Wednesday I was Joyce in the second and third grade resource room. She had taken off for her grandson's wrestling tournament. I was Heather on the bus.
Today I was Cheyanne, who was sick. I worked in the resource room for 4th and 5th grade.
We have many people sick and not many subs. I hope I get to be myself tomorrow.

@GardenGerty A bit like the Four States of Tara or whatever. Did you watch that show? I only saw a couple of episodes. I think the one person switched between four different personalities.

@JudyEv No, I am pretty inexperienced when it comes to television and movies. I often have a hard time being still for them.

You are a lady that wears the cap of others quite well. Subs are often hard to find. In our school district I have heard we are lacking for subs as well. They ran a workshop recently and I thought I would go to it. But, I had to work so I didn't go.
Not sure I would want that pressure of working as a sub. For years, I was the sub caller. With so short a list to go call we often were short a teacher. The administration had to step up and watch a class. That wasn't a pretty scene.

@GardenGerty I prefer a consistent schedule too. Too much change is stressful.

It is hard. At my age I do not like the pressure of different schedules. Our classroom is difficult to find good subs for. Today until around ten our lead teacher is gone to a dental appointment.

You make me blush. The variety was fun in a way, but I could only do it because some of my students were absent. The next week I was one Brittany before 9:30 and another Brittany the rest of the day. Lol.

Nice door. Is that Jimmy, Joyce or Cheyanne. Doesn't look like Heather, anyway.

It is an antique I rescued from the dump, years ago. I have plans to make it into a hall tree type item, to hang our coats and store gloves and hats. I saw this door in the back of a truck, the guy was going to throw it into demolition, but we were able to just transfer it to our trailer and take it home.

@GardenGerty Lucky you. Some people can't see beauty even when it's before their eyes. Glad you were able to save it.
