If you read my previous post you know I locked my keys in my car on Oct. 1st. I had more adventures with my car on October 2nd.
When I was ready to leave school my car wouldn’t start and of course, it was the second day this year I left my cell phone at home!! I called Scott from my school phone and asked him to come jump-start me. He was on his way, but I decided to ask Andrea, a teacher I work with, is she had jumper cables. She didn’t so we ask Martin, our janitor, if he had any. He didn’t as well, but he did have a great idea to push start my car. For some reason push starting my car was confusing to me and it took them a couple tries/pushes for me to do the right thing at the right time.
Finally it worked and I yelled out my window, “I need to call Scott and don’t have a cell phone!†Andrea ran inside to get her phone. I thought I couldn’t stop the car so I drove around our tiny parking lot in the back laughing and filling very ridiculous! Andrea came running out with her phone just as I was headed the opposite direction. I yelled out my window, “I don’t know what I’m doing, and I can’t stop!!!†She was bent over laughing at me and yelled back, “Martin says you can stop your car, but don’t turn it off!†I guess he was trying to get my attention to tell me that! I called Scott, and Andrea insisted I take her phone incase anything happened on my way home. How SWEET!! Again, I would have to say I feel very blessed to work with 3 awesome teachers. We work well together, are very supportive of one another and have a good time with each other!
Okay, I really would have paid money to see you driving around your parking lot yelling out the window!!!!
i am glad you got your car started! In Italy we had to push start our professor’s car a bunch of times. it was fun! It sounds like you are having an exciting school year, so far…. are you warming up to your new class of kids?
