my TA is cool

This summer I got my first full-time TA for my history class. He started last week, and all my grades are current and up to date for the first time in months! It is wonderful. Just another benefit to working at my awesome job.

This afternoon, something crazy happened. I helping one of my boys get caught up during my lunch, and we went a little over time into the last period of school. I asked him which class he was supposed to be in. "English class," he said. I figured I would walk him across the hall to let the English teacher know why he was late.

When we arrived at the door, I turned the latch. It was locked.

I tried my key...it wouldn't open.

We motioned through the little window pane on the door for the English TA to open the door from the inside...he couldn't make it unlatch.

We were locked out...and they were locked in!

Luckily, the CEO was walking down the hallway and I snagged him and informed him of the situation. A locksmith was called, and it didn't take long in my small school for word to get around that the folks in English were locked in.

Meanwhile, my TA got a piece of paper, some tape and a sharpie and posted this message on the window pane of the English class facing inward.

WE
WILL
MISS
YOU!

I'm glad the man has got a sense of humor.
