Things I love about my team:

• They bring me dinner when I’m sick.
• They give me drugs when I’m sick.
• They go out and buy tissues for me when I’m sick.
• They cover an already re-scheduled make-up class so I don’t have to re-schedule it again when I’m sick.
• They come by to check on me even when I’m un-showered lying next to a pile of used tissues.
• They kill roaches and other creepy crawlers I’m frightened of…and clean up the mess.
• They come armed with duct tape to fix a broken lamp.
• They know enough about my history, and everyone else’s history, to make a joke out of just about anything.
• I’m entirely comfortable showing up to a team meeting in pajamas, with no make-up, a red nose, and a box of tissues.
• They go out in the ice and the cold to pick up KFC for dinner for everybody.
• They throw awesome (make-up) birthday parties.

I’ve been down and out this week with a nasty bug.  I can’t say it was an enjoyable week, but it was a week that made me very thankful for my team.  I’m fever free for the first day in awhile, and trying to sort through what lies ahead of me this week. Some classes I’ve seen twice already.  Some I haven’t even seen once.  And I thought the whole “Saturday is Monday” set-up was confusing…  Let’s just say there’s a pretty good chance I show up and start teaching the wrong lesson sometime this week.
