in-service staff day
Working on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. If we actually had minority teachers in our school district, I suppose there would be some protest or a riot, but given I met up with 50+ teachers from all over our district and they were all White.....
It was a productive day, though. Unlike most days which are relegated to sitting in a room discussing/arguing about logistics and wording and new laws/regulations, I got CPR certified and Epipen trained, so if you need someone to rip your clothes off and kiss you, or stab you with a long needle and cause your heart to race, I'm your gal!
I haven't gotten CPR trained in years, so I was surprised that the new training tells you **NOT** to take the victim's pulse. Did you know that? I think it's been that way for a while, but as I said, I haven't been trained in a while, so I would've gone "old school" with the "check breathing--- check pulse" method, but that's no longer done! Also learned to use the school's defibrillator and it's surprisingly user-friendly, so if you need an electric shock, I'm also your gal!
