Hall duty

Today was the last day of testing for the summer. I got to TJ this morning at eight, and I registered kids for the U.S. history test. Today, we had that and the algebra test. Pretty riveting stuff, I know. My kids were the ones taking the U.S. history test online. They wrapped that up just after noon, so our testing coordinator asked me to monitor the hallways and keep the kids from poking their faces into classrooms where other kids are still testing. So, yeah- this was my afternoon job today:

I'm not supposed to have my phone out during testing, but Cas texted me to tell me we had our closing for the house scheduled at 1pm on Tuesday. I had to read that, and I was almost obligated to respond. 

After hall duty was no longer necessary, my friend Laura and I were assigned the task of counting answer documents for a bit. It was a pretty dull way to spend the afternoon, but I probably be happy to see the money on next month's paycheck. 

Besides, it gave me and Laura an excuse to go out for an early happy hour after work, something we don't tend to do in the summers. 

That's it for the week, though. The next time I darken the door of a high school will be in August when teachers return to prepare for the fall semester. It's all house-buying, moving, family time and various other vacation activities for about the next month.
