Whisper Whisper Giggle Giggle

Our newest principal will arrive, ready to change all of our existing programs. I heard this two weeks before her report date. Her small non-listening ears will be closed as tightly as her heart. I was emailed this on a Sunday night, but did not see it until Monday. While eating my yogurt I overheard my co-workers getting up a little petition and none of us had actually met her yet! Whisper. Whisper. Giggle. Whisper. I could feel my eyes rolling. Incredulous that anyone over twelve messed with petitions; let alone more than one of them. Someone relatively new who had never responded to two weeks of "hi"came in at 9 to ask for my signature. I hee-hawed her out of my space. Mrs. Will Change Everything started work at 10:30. She was offensively decisive, assertive, confident, smart. I could see what they were afraid of. She cared nothing about social cues, or getting along. She was here to do her job. We became Instant Lifelong Friends.
