The Octave of End
Eight days and the fat lady sings. Some will hear the song as a happy tune while others will hear the blues.
How can one person have so many mixed emotions about one thing and all of them are TRUE???
Listening to the "Litany of the End" and various war stories of her fellow workers and the buzz that this is creating makes me laugh that the soon to be be former management is not revealing the fact that the Boss is hanging up her chalk, erasers and pointer to be a full time GRANDMA.
Not to be disrespectful to her employer, but when work gets out that Mrs. C will NOT be there any longer, a few parents will be saddened. I thank them for their support to the boss and any teacher who really gives a hoot about education other than just a means of obtaining a paycheck.
So no more hallways ringing with the tune of "I'll beat you with a stick" where the students come running smiling for hugs, no more stories about our kids to make the 1st graders feel important, and just no more loving to a profession that was wanted since the second grade many years ago.
It will be gone...
BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!!!
If she is to get a "watch" for her "retirement", it would have to be BIG BEN in comparison for her love and dedication to teaching.
Now this is pretty mushy from a grouchy old fart like me but, God Damn Sam..
SHE DESERVES IT
AND MORE!!
OINK
