The First Week of The Rest of My Life

Dear Visitors and Blog Followers,

I cherish the opportunity I hold to bestow my experiences from the first week of working at my former high school.

The week was comprised of an abundant amount of particular occurrences. The inaugural week involved familiarizing, learning and application. The present-day situation of the library is spotlighted with CRT testing. CRT testing is the standardized testing offered by the school district to judge numerous aspects of the school. For the preceding generation that follows this blog, the CRT test are now executed on computers and not with scan-tron answers sheets. The new form of testing leaves the the need for guidance to the teachers on how the testing program works. Needless to say, I spent much of my inaugural week working with a bounteous amount of teachers.

I delight in sharing the most alluring of the experiences.

Have you ever discovered yourself to be conversing with a person who has the most absolute appaling breath? I personal believe that each and every person in the world has had some form of this experience and can argue that your experience included the worst breath detected by man. But i lie not, The funk i smelt from one teachers breath altered my perception of the world. As i listened to the problem the teacher faced, i could not listen, focus or sustain my equilibrium. I was confused, astonished and unsettled that such a smell could reside in reality.

Two questions arouse: What caused this breath? and how could it go unnoticed?
I assume some type of food is responsible, but if not, what could the teacher have put into his/her mouth to cause such a smell. The teacher from which the breath departed appeared to have no knowledge of the odor. These two circumstances left the teacher as an obstacle no one should ever have to face.

I wrote this blog hoping to offer the followers a slice of the challenges that a high school sub librarian may face in the inaugural week of work.

"In case i don't see ya; good afternoon, good evening and good night!

  2. Hello you studious sultry Librarian! I don't know if I like this working schedule of yours...where is NATE?!

    You really are gifted when it comes to words, I am so inspired. Maybe someday I'll become a Librarian myself and then we can play hide and seek through the book shelves...maybe not, but here's hoping!
