Working Around Others Schedules
I work on the schedule until my hands are blue with ink.
Consulting with sixteen teachers so I can give a lesson to each.
Will this time work? Could we squeeze your lesson in after lunch?
Can we do a little lesson before you go to music?
By two forty-five on Monday I had a little schedule for the week.
Three emails and two phone calls later, I changed six of the class times.
All changed after teachers had agreed to these times.
I picked up the pen and began making adjustments.
A surprise all school assembly was announced the second I finished.
The pen snickered at me, but I had ceased to be amused.
