Who am I today?

My usual morning student was absent. My coworker called in saying she would be about an hour and a half late. A classroom from the other end of the building was short a paraprofessional today as well.
So I started the day as myself, then covered for Jessica Reed. When she arrived I then went to the other end of the building, first grade, and was Jessica Trapp.
Mostly it was an easy day and I am glad of the variety.

Versatility can't be that bad, you get to wear different hats!

That is the best person to be, but in my job sometimes a change of pace is fun. Even can be relaxing.

@GardenGerty Oh I know, some days I am a nurse, some days an accountant, some days just a friend.

I was Heather long before it was a cool or accepted name, but I have always liked it.

Well the one student does not talk so he could have called me anything. The students mostly use our last names. I have a student who just calls me Echola. He calls us all just our last names.

You had to stand in for others once again.I think it would upset your plan sometimes.

In many ways this was an easier day than if I had had my own regular schedule.

I also enjoy variety so I am sure I would have enjoyed coving some different things as well. Sounds like an interesting day.

Are you the only one that has to take up the slack when others are absent?

Sometimes, variety makes one feel good. Otherwise, the life will be boring.
