While I was swinging the swings during an inspection, several first graders asked me, 'What are you doing, teacher?' I replied, 'We're checking to see if it's broken,' and they started swinging them too. After that, they followed me as we inspected the horizontal bar, monkey bars, tire jumps, and jungle gym. The vice principal, who was watching from the staff room, said, 'You looked like the leader of an expedition.'

The interview was supposed to be on Teams, but my PC suddenly crashed, so we had to quickly connect by phone and have the interview on speakerphone, which was crazy. At the end, she said, 'It was a great interview. It's a shame you can't see my face,' so I replied, 'I put a lot of effort into styling my hair and all that, so it's a shame you can't see it,' which made her burst into laughter and won.
