Well, I was going to turn in that application to the Fremont district today, but I got a sub job on the first day of school.\u00a0 Who would have thought?\u00a0 I mailed in the application instead.\u00a0 I was slated to be at Russell Middle School for three days as a floater, but when I got there, I realized that my sub buddy Neil was also there as a three day floater.\u00a0 They really didn\u2019t need both of us and Neil always gets first dibs because his wife is the receptionist there and she calls in the sub jobs.\u00a0 I get the feeling that I got the call for Neil\u2019s job by mistake by the automated system.\u00a0 Still, it was good to see my kids again, now all eighth graders.\u00a0 They seemed happy to see me too.\u00a0 During the day, I had a nice lunch with my wife, and I helped many seventh graders find their classrooms.\u00a0 Towards the end of the day, I asked around the office to see if there was anything more to do.\u00a0 They thought I had come in just to see what a first day of school looked like (and I would have done that for free), but they didn\u2019t realize that I had been called in.\u00a0 We both agreed that they would call me tomorrow if they needed me, but I wouldn\u2019t come in on my own.\u00a0 I want to be helpful, not in the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
