Faculty Meeting (Friday after classes)

[bigdamnprincipal]

With the semester in full swing, Zoe thought there might be a need for the teachers and administration to talk to each other. Or maybe it was just Friday and Fridays deserved to be celebrated. Either way, a handwavy message had gone out to the staff to meet in the student council room for an informal faculty meeting. Zoe had set up coffee, cold drinks, donuts, and pastries; there was nothing alcoholic yet, but it was still early in the semester.

"Good afternoon," she said once it looked like everyone was there. "I wanted to give everyone a chance to get together now that we're past the introduction phase with the students. Feel free to take some food and talk to each other about whatever you need to." Whether they talked about students or things that actually interested them was up to them.

[Hey, look what RTM reminded me to do this week! Open to all staff and OCD free.]

Hannibal thought about it. "A little less, I think." He shrugged. "If I told you he thought only the best of himself, you would know I was lying. But he's managed for a week several times, and I have caught him thinking well of himself once or twice."

Bribing worked wonders. Yo. "Once they get in the habit of it, it's easier to continue without bribes. A positive self image is, after all, its own reward."

If you thought the 'yo' was bad Hannibal, you should have been around before the nonsense 'zoto' and 'yoto' started to phase out of his daily vocabulary.

"No kidding," Reno agreed, grinning faintly. "Not an easy habit to start getting into, but you think something about yourself enough, you start believin' it eventually. Probably a big reason that kid you mentioned was shittin' on himself so hard. Hell, probably a reason the kid I mentioned was."
