February 20, 2015
So I survived my week from hell...barely. It definitely tried to kill me. Today my All-County Chorus and Strings kids were going to a rehearsal for All-County during the school day at our local performance arena. We are literally a 10 minute walk from the venue and so we always walk instead of taking a bus. Each year the schools take turns playing the Orff instruments at the concert and this year it was our turn.
So my plan was to get a sub for the entire day...drive the Orff instruments over to the venue, unload them, come back, and walk my students to the place.
Well...as I was pushing our Bass Metallophone (pictured above) to my car on it's rolling stand that is supposed to make for easy transport, it fell off the stand and I kind of went flying over it.
So I have a banged up hang, foot, and both knees.
Two teachers saw it happen and so they went and got the nurse. I had to go to the clinic, I had four ice packs on my body. I had to fill out an accident report (although no blood was actually spilled...I just have bruises). I then was told I needed to go take a drug test (standard procedure for if you get hurt at any job really). I told them there was no way in hell I could at that moment because I had to take my kids on this field trip.
So they let me take the kids. When we got back, the kids ate lunch while I supervised them. Then, they went back to class and I drove to go take a drug test. The school told me since I already had a sub for the day, to go take the test and then go home and rest. LOL
So that was the end of my week.
