Today I met with my coteachers for next year. I know them both, in fact I know them both well. I'm really excited about working with them. I really want to be a better person at work this year, and having more upbeat coworkers will probably help a lot.

My only disaster of the day came when I walked in on one of my coteachers peeing. She shrugged it off like it was nothing, and said it was her fault for leaving the door open, but I still felt pretty lousey about it.

I revealed to them my plan, which is to not talk in any staff meetings. If I have something to say, I'll write it down.

My mom used to ask, "Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right?" I always responded that being right made me happy. But at this job they are mutually exclusive. So I will be happy and bite my tongue. It can't get any worse...
