Construction 102; Third Period, Friday [07/27].
When the students arrived on the worksite that day, they wouldn't find their usual teacher, but someone different there waiting for them, and didn't she just look so excited about it, too?
"I'm Detective Diaz," she offered, "and I'm here because Ms. Blackstone is sick. Now, usually, a sick teacher means a blow off or movie day, but since that would put this whole thing," she gestured vaguely at the building, "behind schedule, you guys get me instead. And insulation." She hitched a thumb toward the piles of fluffy pre-cut sheets, and flashed them a crooked, sardonic grin. "Aren't you lucky?"
"Now this stuff stings if you get it in your skin or eyes, so make sure you're wearing your stupid gloves and goggles, okay? This shouldn't be too hard; the stuff's already cut, so you just...put it in." And she demonstrated with one sheet, even if it looked more like she was frisking a suspect than anything else when she was fitting it in. "Now, some of it might be short," like the one she just did, "so just pick a small piece and fill it in and just tape it. No big deal. If you've got a wire or box, just cut a space out for it. Again. Easy. Babies could do it."
And then she sort of stood there for a moment. "Okay, then, I guess, get to work? Oh, right, she also said stay hydrated. Yeah. Okay. Don't have too much fun."
