Well, I was going to turn in that application to the Fremont district today, but I got a sub job on the first day of school.  Who would have thought?  I mailed in the application instead.  I was slated to be at Russell Middle School for three days as a floater, but when I got there, I realized that my sub buddy Neil was also there as a three day floater.  They really didn’t need both of us and Neil always gets first dibs because his wife is the receptionist there and she calls in the sub jobs.  I get the feeling that I got the call for Neil’s job by mistake by the automated system.  Still, it was good to see my kids again, now all eighth graders.  They seemed happy to see me too.  During the day, I had a nice lunch with my wife, and I helped many seventh graders find their classrooms.  Towards the end of the day, I asked around the office to see if there was anything more to do.  They thought I had come in just to see what a first day of school looked like (and I would have done that for free), but they didn’t realize that I had been called in.  We both agreed that they would call me tomorrow if they needed me, but I wouldn’t come in on my own.  I want to be helpful, not in the way.
