Surprise!

Yesterday while I was in Econ class, my phone started to ring. Fourtunatly I remebered to put it on silent or I would have been in major trouble. After class I was able to hear the message and was surprised to hear the subsititute teacher co-ordinator for the Savannah- Chatham Board of Education leaving the the message.

 OOPS!! Let me go back a minute. After finding out last week that I was a wateraholic, my husband sent e-mails to each of the elected members of the Board of Education. This is the portion that applied to me.

“In your school system it has been widely publicized that there is a severe shortage of qualified teaching staff, how is it that a potential substitute teacher is declined a position because of a negative dilute drug test? The negative dilute test simply means that they drank too much water, the negative means that there is absolutely no trace of drugs or alcohol in their system, why are they being excluded for a period of 3 months? How about a retest? There are very few teachers available in this district. The official dilute simply means that the color of the urine was not within the color hue specified. This horrifies me to understand that you have discarded a potential teacher because they have consumed too much healthy water.”

Anyway long story short I am headed off this morning for a retest, because “several tests came back same as mine” and so it was decided to retest all of us. Coffee only till after the test!
