Today I spent all day – with the exception of the two
classes I taught – working on the yearbook. I have over ten years working on
yearbooks but this one is really beating me up. It is not the normal middle
school book where I know all the teachers. It is book that covers everything
from Pre-K 2 to eighth grade. It has been fun taking copies of their pages
around and getting them checked for spelling, missing kids, and other ‘problems’.
I saw everyone today which was a bit strange but got it all
covered. Next week I have the yearbook advisor coming by to see me for a bit. She
is as new at this as I am with this company. I have done yearbook with another
company for the last dozen years. It is unusual but I am getting the hang of
it.
The book will be my normal overkill has I have a TON of
photos. I have always believed that middle school is all about photos. High
School is different but for me it is pictures, pictures, and pictures. Right
now I have space for over 2500 photos in a 68 page book. I want the boss to understand
that I know how to put together a really great book. Right now she is telling
me over and over to not be taking photos of girl’s teams. I have shot pictures
of girl’s teams for years and years with no one getting upset. I have coached
my on softball team for over 30 years. I have coached my own basketball team
for over a dozen years. Let me do the job you asked me to do.
I love my job even though I would love it better if I taught
a few more classes each day. I don’t like ebing a PART-TIME teacher.
Why doesn't she want you taking photos of the girls' teams?
