For fear of giving out enough information to identify myself, I'll have to be vague.

The entire grade level that I teach is participating in an activity today based on the unit being taught in my social studies classes over the past couple of weeks. I'll be spending the entire day with my home room class, and UGH. We have tons of behavior problems in that class. Thankfully, home room is one of the two classes taught collaboratively, so I won't be alone.

I'm well prepared for the event, but found out last night that the school board and the superintendent are coming to observe. I shouldn't have been surprised by this, since the event is huge, but it throws in an extra layer of stress.

I try to avoid caffeine, but I think today is going to be a Starbucks kind of day. Thanks for some really good advice and well wishes, guys!

And I agree with Demunie, QM. if you're in tech support, why do they have you doing file management?
