Mouse!!!
So, last Thursday at school I found a candy bar in my top desk drawer that had been nibbled on. I thought, how could a mouse get into a closed, metal drawer? The next day I found a Slim-Fast bar with the wrapper shredded open. There were also mouse droppings in the drawer. Disgusting!! In ten years of teaching I have never had a mouse problem, but I have also never had to teach in a trailer. I let the custodians know, and they set a trap and put out some D-Con. This morning, as I was teaching my first class, I looked behind the garbage can, and there it was-- dead and rotting in a mouse trap!! I'm sure that really added to the already hideous smell in the room! I called down to the office and said, "I need someone to retrieve a mouse carcass from my classroom." I had to finish teaching my first class, knowing that there was a dead mouse!! So gross!! A raise would be nice, smaller class sizes would be great, but all I want is a nice room in the building. Is that so much to ask??

You deserve a nice classroom! Without the mouse. How did it get through a metal drawer anyway? up the back? CrAZy!
Okay. I would have died. Ya. You do need at least a bonus check for having to deal with that!
YUCK!!! We had a ton of mice at South Hills and Riverton. I almost stepped on a dead one in the foods room one morning. I've heard they can squish those little bodies of theirs to fit through just about any space.
