Moments of My Workday

browngirlFirst of all, a Public Service Announcement: Livejournal is going to implement posting limits. The one on free users is pretty strict, the others not really. Posts to communities count. I first saw this in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
queue's journal, and in gypsyjen's as well.
Anyway.
It's good I've found a job I want to stay at, not least because I couldn't fulfill this job description!
Yesterday one of the nicer parents we have to deal with a lot came by, with her youngest child. This woman has three teenagers and a toddler (!). The toddler is a beautiful, saturnine little girl with a wide face and curly golden hair and a....reserved but friendly manner. Who would have expected a precise "hi, I saw you, now we're done" wave from a fifteen-month-old?
I was also regaled by two of my favorite students with tales of their field trip. They went to see Classical (read: NEKKID) art, and at one point a statue of an hermaphrodite nearly broke the brain of a very persnickety boy. "But it has---and---! It *can't* have both!" One girl made sure to point out the art involving sex to the tour guide and demand an explanation. I'm so proud of her. *grin*
Also, as I mentioned elsewhere, the art teachers flattered me incredibly excessively about my magnets (I have a bunch here to, eventually, be mailed to some of my friends. I've decided to do a major art mailing across February, just because). One in particular really noticed stuff I'd tried to do; no matter what the work of art, it's nice when one consciously adds a touch and another person picks up on that and says so. *beam*
As I was writing the above, one of the teachers, a young woman with blonde hair so pale and shining it looks like sunshine on her head, just said to Tigerlily "can you order me three rolls of duct tape per chaperone for the next trip? We're going to duct tape the kids." *giggle*
I have to leave early again today (psych appt) and I find myself, well, reluctant to leave this place, to lose the hours here. No wonder Tigerlily has such a time shooing the kids out every day at 5 PM.
