are you the new SAC lady??


Yes. Yes I am. I am a SAC lady. I get asked this frequently at my new school, much to my dismay but to the pleasure of my roommates once I told them this. Its not the most lovely term, but it is kinda endearing. Its nice that the students already recognize me and hopefully like me. As I pull into Oak Canyon Jr High in the morning and sit in the classes that I sub in, I cant help reflect back on my time at Wilson High and miss it oh so much. As i got a tour of the school the other ladies commented that "these faculty bathrooms arent as nice as the others" Oh you dont even know about the saloon doors that I endured at Wilson. I dont have students named Princess, Kamal, Tavon or Trayonna anymore, instead I have to put up with the freakin Utah names like Ryker, Kilee, Keanna and Tallen. Instead of hearing the F bomb drop like 10 times a day, I over hear conversations about ward activities, comparing house sizes, and spoting CTR rings. Before, during lunch my roommates and i would chat about the ridiculous things that happened in class or how we couldnt understand our students or the outlandish acts of ms oats-the old black PE coach. Now during my day I look at photos of my co-workers grandchildren and overhear them discuss the difficulties of reading restaurant menus without their glasses. Like wait, what? are you for reals? it is definitely a different environment, one in which i am totally not use to. not saying i dont like, so far I love my job and I am so grateful to be employed. But really, its weird. And i dont like all of these white people.

did you forget that you are about as white as they come? hope you aren't missing the F bomb too much. and you failed to mention all the reading time you are logging at work. and i like "sac lady", has a nice ring to it.

I don't like all of these white people either, that's why you've got to sub in SLC. Then, you at least get all of these hispanics and tongans claiming they are too ghetto for you. PSHHHH

Sorry, Leigh. This was the first time I had time off work and we didn't have anything else. I can see why you love DC. I thought about you at the white house.
