At first I was : ) then I was :(
then.... I was =o
[More:]
I got home today all excited. I told Mrs. Doohickie how I found out that due to an odd combination of events, I get an extra two days of floating holiday time between now an the end of the year.

She wasn't impressed. She told me she had a bad day. As lead teacher she was supposed to arrange to have teachers in her department get subs and go to a training session today. Due to a miscommunication, she totally dropped the ball.

But that wasn't even the low point... she also found out one of her students had a fire in her house. While she and 11 other kids, and her mom, got out okay, the student lost her dad and her cousin in the fire. They got everyone else out but perished at the window, just a foot or so from safety.
Oh God.

There seems to be a story of heroism there. A sad one, but one of heroism all the same.

The news was not as bad as I heard at first. The cousin, although pretty badly burned, did get out. The dad was not so lucky. He called out from the house saying he was coming out; they found him just inside an open window... he didn't quite make it.
