I don't recall reading the word "dignified" in the job description

And for a good reason!!

I'm gonna be walking into school tomorrow morning proudly carrying my handbag, canvas bag full of books and, um, a broom. Yep you read that right. We will proceed, my beloved broom and I, through the admin. corridors, queue up in front of the fingerprint machine, then march up multitude staircases and through a maze of corridors, again with my broom by my side, till I reach the safety of my classroom.

I'm gonna be the laughing stock of the school. Oh wait, that has been taken care of ages ago. Somewhere around the time I walked in the school with pockets bulging with rocks of all shapes and sizes, and that time I was literally thrown off balance flat on the floor by 10 majorly-excited 7-year-old girlies I taught last year. In front of the whole school. Oh sweet dignity, why did you walk out on me?

On the bright side, I guess walking in with a broomstick is as bad as it gets. I can only move upwards from there, right? At least that's what I tell myself.

(On a side note: the fact that brooms usually conjure the image of a witch should not lead you to any hasty conclusions. Much appreciated.)

Ummm.. You've asked the school's cleaning lady (and her vacuum!) to stay out of your classroom for good.

Or... You want to render those spiders in the corners of your classroom ceiling homeless.

Or.. You found flying to class to be more time efficient than driving to school.

You think a black cat will show up in your life to go "with the ensemble" maybe?

Or did you finally join Hogwarts?

Okay, that's enough for today. I should go sleep.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
You know I too once had to go through a whole day at university holding a broom? The trick to is to act like it's not even there, messes with people's heads.

Come to think it, why did I even do that? I really don't remember
