I woke up even earlier this morning, still after my alarm but I'm
getting better. And I used my stepper a little bit longer. I am
still at the point where my legs get tired before my lungs. But my
legs are getting stronger and hopefully soon I will be able to put
more work into my lungs.
Today my favorite substitute was once again working. And once again,
I parked right behind her. She hadn't spilled her coffee on herself
today but she did have way too many bags and needed help carrying
them. We were parked on the corner of the block next to the school
and she had carried several things across the street to the corner of
the school but had left them there and gone back to her car after a
parent said they didn't have time to help her carry them the rest of
the way in. Nice. I helped her with her remaining bags and when we
made it to her first load there was a helpful parent that helped us
the rest of the way to the school.
I helped one of the third grade classes hopefully set up their
laptops so they will only have to log into them, not log into them
and then log onto the internet. The internet thing should happen
automatically now. This will also come in handy if those laptops are
used for MAP testing because there were instances last year where the
login pop-up would repeatedly pop-up while kids were taking the test.
I could have solved that problem but I didn't hear about it until
after the fact.
I had a major brain fart today when it came to first graders logging
into computers. I forgot that their usernames are just their lunch
number so when I had them all trying to type in their names like the
older grades, I shouldn't have been surprised that no one could log
in. It didn't help that they had a grandma-aged substitute and a
para who had never been in the lab before. I eventually got everyone
logged in, going around and typing it all in myself because it would
be faster than trying to explain they needed to type in their lunch
numbers, after I had confused the hell out of them by telling them to
type in their names. Most of them don't even know their lunch
numbers.
One of the sixth grade classes came in to type papers and I learned
how to make a heading show up on the first page only. I am fairly
certain I never knew how to do that. I always just worked around it.
And it isn't very intuitive. I'll probably forget about it before I
have to do it again. Another student ran into a problem where her
keyboard started showing different letters from what she was
inputting. It was like she had inadvertently switched the layout of
her keyboard, even though students don't have the right privileges to
do that. It was strange. I ended up getting around it by saving her
paper to a shared drive and logging her in as me because the keyboard
was working just fine when I logged in. When I checked back later to
save her paper on her own drive, the keyboard was working fine. So I
have no idea.
My afternoon was boring as hell. I nearly fell asleep. Off and on I
worked on my student directory, finally finished inputting phone
numbers and addresses, and made some design changes to the layout of
the main form. I'm waiting to see if I am going to get my own login
for Infinite Campus so I can get guardian contact information for the
phone list or if I need to borrow the login information of the
secretary like I did last year.
After work I really wanted to play more of Saints Row 4 but by
the time I got home and settled in I didn't really have the time. So
instead I watched some YouTube videos and then ate some dinner and
got ready for work at the theater. At work I made a little progress
on my cross stitch and nearly finished Chris Kyle's book. I also
watched The World's End and
it was pretty great. Lots of talking and big jokes and subtle jokes
and some badass fights. I would watch it again. Maybe not tomorrow
because I want to work on my cross stitch but I will probably be
renting it.
