While sitting around the table in the conference meeting during our 2.5 hour afternoon session with our behaviorist, principal, counselor, my staff, and the assistant Special Ed director for the district, we began to talk about people thinking about their schedules and when they might have a half hour or 45 minutes to relieve me so I could do some testing on kids or lead small groups about socializing (aka, what my job was supposed to be from the get-go).  Someone else said "or go to the bathroom".

Is it wrong that I was able to joke, "Nah, that's what 3 o'clock is for!" and Nathan (the ass't director of Special Ed) quipped, "3?  That seems a little early ....".  I actually kind of loved that moment...but it also kinda sucks realizing that my first minute to myself where I can do things like go to the bathroom USUALLY don't happen until 3pm...which is when the school day ends.

I think progress shall be made.  I have good feelings about this.
