Old New Hire

Today was an interesting day at work. I finally went to the new hire orientation (I had initially been signed up for last month's but we had some planning sessions and they got it moved to this month). Okay, so it's day one of a two day thing. Today was mostly people from different departments coming in and talking about various things. Tomorrow we go out to a bunch of different locations so that should be exciting. Someone in the class was a math teacher right before this. She taught for a year at a private school. On the one hand she had to teach five different subjects (five different lessons every day! and they were about to bump her up to six this coming school year before she got this job opportunity). On the other hand, she had a total of sixty students (in a school with a total of ninety students). Win some lose some I guess. For perspective, years when I had three subjects were absolutely hell (even two is really tough). Also, I had around 180 students at any given time. Just reflecting on that. Oh, and we had headshots taken. This was apparently mentioned in an email and that email suggested professional attire. I didn't read this email so I came dressed regularly. I mean, still on the professional side, dress shirt no tie. But I'm marginally unshaven and wasn't dressed for a picture. Ah well.
