Teacher's Lounge Mingle/Meeting, Sunday

[ofsevenseas]

[Sinbad sprawls onto the chair of the Teacher's lounge. He hmms softly as he noticed the rather high temperature - 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with a stretch of an arm, he reached over and cranks it down to 77, realizing that really would be too hot for most of the staff.

There's a coffee machine with hours old coffee by the door, a corkboard littered with the finest examples of Passive-Aggressiveness in English, and inspirational posters that made the Djinn's eyes roll.

He stifles a yawn as he nurses a mug of coffee in one hand, and with the other he flips through the rather large stack of memos about the new transfers for any special consideration, meetings, repeat warnings to stop messing with the thermostat among other things]

Another Semester, another crop of students, I should get the surveys printed for my class... I'm surprised a Dryad hasn't marched in to complain about the waste of paper.

((ooc: Mingling for the teachers))

[He waves off the quarter-joking with a lazy wavy of his hand - memorizing which of the new transfers are ordinary humans for future reference]

Not particularly, given the kind of curriculum I teach, I need to make sure everyone's on the same page.

[breepbreepbreep]

Fair's fair. What books are you going over this year? I'd rather not have students more engrossed in your curriculum than mine. While in my classroom.

[Bitter? Anthony? Naaaaahh.]

[ofsevenseas]

It really depends on the reading level of the class, that's what the surveys are for, along with general interest - can't really engage the class if a book bores them to tears.

[He grins that not-really-bitterness in Anthony's tone]

I was thinking long as they handle it something by Jules Verne, and perhaps John Carter of Mars to start.

[breepbreepbreep]

Ah, well. Here I was worried you were going to go more with Meyers and Rowling, not Verne and Burroughs. Certainly a better alternative.

[He'll continue to eschew actual eye contact to keep going over all of his finals.] Anybody you forsee causing trouble, or have you not gotten to the new transfers yet?

[Weird question coming from the guy who can fuck with time, but he's been reminded on many, many occasions not to because, y'know. Causality.]

[ofsevenseas]

Rowling I might go over in comparison, but -

[He shook his head thinking of Meyers]

Three years ago, that's all anyone wanted to talk about, I am glad the hype died down. Might also bring in Treasure Island as a back up if it seems like the mortals are into pirates again. As for the transfers...

There is one human who had a bad wake up call to the supernatural, An English girl of unknown species - records suggest she might be a troublemaker - odd. There's no parental or legal guardian information for this young man here.
