grouchy

i am grouchy
i had an icky day
too much noise
too much shushing
too many parents upset about report cards
unavoidable confrontations

out of the blue, as i was grading some papers and doing that small talk thing, she asks me, "do you like teaching?"

everything in me wanted to tell the truth
but i think that i recovered well
is it teaching? or teaching there?

i hate how empty this feels
