Walked in, said good morning, signed in “The Book” to show later teachers that I was here early. I have a love/hate relationahip with that book. You showcase your punctuality but at the same time you have people arriving before you, sparking that “I wanna be here first!!” competitive feeling, wanting everyone to see your signature first thing in the morning. Then when that happens, you end up sitting alone in the staff room, yawning and wishing you’d hit that damned snooze button when you had the chance.
Walked into the staff room… said my hellos and good mornings, sat at my desk and pulled out my laptop and its wire. Plugged everything in, opened iTunes and Adobe Photoshop. Turned on some Corinne Bailey Rae, India.Arie and Zero 7, turning down the volume just a tiny bit, enough to create some calm soothing background music and sitting back on my swivley twirlie chair…
I just sat there and stared at our staff room… man, it’s so messy and crappy… I really really really want to re-design the whole room… here’s what I want to do:
1- Re-paint it since it’s pink and it makes me feel like a 5 year old… maybe paint it light blue or off-white with a small light design or maybe even wallpaper, something feminine and light but won’t make me feel like a 3 year old ballet dancer…
2- Make all the desks match, all with working drawers and locks and remove the old crappy wooden desks…
