I work in a school.  I often wonder what the students would think if we pulled back the curtain on our daily machinations.  I’m not saying that anything major league bad happens in that place, but we all sort of present this positive face whenever we’re out in front of the students, when in fact, a copier may have malfunctioned earlier in the day or it may have taken us a long time to come up with the material we used in our lesson for that day.
