The Fire Marshal AcCORD

Pécan has relayed a mandate from the fire marshal—no more extension cords.

Great. This is something that would have been nice to have known at the beginning of the year. You other teachers know just as well as I do that it takes a long time to set up your classroom. Now I’ve got to start all over again. Like I have time for that. Grades have to be done and parents have to be informed that I don’t have as many grades that I should because their kids aren’t doing the assignments—assignments that take time to design, mind you.

I guess I could put my overhead right in the middle of my desk; a professional doesn’t need a place to work. Of course, I’ll now have two extra extension cords to deal with. Maybe I could use them in those lessons that I was talking about. How does double-dutch sound?
