R/R: I’m excited because I got asked to mentor the new music teacher we just hired. I was a mentor last year but they assigned me to the librarian instead of one of the 3 new music teachers which really didn’t make any sense to me but whatever. We agreed at the end of last school year that the two of us weren’t a good fit, simply because I wasn’t really able to help her with what she needed given that we teach different subjects and she is a more experienced teacher than me. I think my new assignment will be a much better fit for both of us! I’ve met him a few times already between interviews and him shadowing a day or two in June. I’ll have to go to new teacher orientation next week.
CS/Q:
@daisy0322 no real advice here since I haven't taken it before, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you either way. Without any other info, though, I'd agree with the others, it makes me nervous to think about going rogue when it comes to medical stuff.
@inthewoods23 yay comfy clothes! Sounds like a good day overall.
@shortstack930 it's always tough getting back into work mode after a few days off, hope it improves soon.
@gingermama29 awesome, sounds like the new assignment will be great!

R/R: throat is still bugging me, voice is still crap. But we're going to a concert tomorrow so that's very exciting and should be super fun.
CS/Q: chart's on OPK detector at the moment, but should have regular CH tomorrow.
@gingermama29 The new mentorship sounds like it has potential!
@fantasyflyte hopefully you’re almost over your cold, sounds like it’s been going on forever.
@inthewoods23 very jealous of getting to work in comfy clothes.
