Well now, yeah, but before. Even imdb-ed her mom & dad and they don’t have last names either. I find it funny I never noticed!!

Not every happily married woman takes her husband’s name.

As I'm sure you know, I'm a instrumental music teacher in a public school. I'm pleased to report that our school nurse also works as an ER nurse at a nearby hospital.

For my last night we went to my favorite restaurant.
I had Wiener schnitzel, sauerkraut, potato pancakes, red cabbage, and potato salad. So good!
And the amazing live entertainment.
It was a great last night. I love this place so much. If you’re in the Orlando area you should try Hollerbach’s in Sanford. It’s much better than Biergarten at Epcot, and it’s a lot cheaper.

Amen to that! They are the first responders to any emergency that happens at school, and having a trained medical professional on site can really make a huge difference. I also remember having an ambulance and EMTs stationed at football games in case someone got hurt, because sometimes you can't wait for an ambulance to arrive. Of course, in our case, the hospital was 40 miles away, so having the ambluance on site and ready was kind of crucial. I don't know if other schools in the district did that, or if it was just ours because we were so far away from the hospital.
But I really wish we had school nurses here. I got a call when DS was in 2nd grade...the teacher looked at him and he was stark white (well, he's ALWAYS pretty white....the kid is practically albino) and suddenly he was swaying and then he collapsed out of his chair. It would have been nice to have a nurse there to check him out right there rather than the teacher having to leave him to go get the phone and call me, and then wait for me to get there. At least if there's a nurse on sight, you can tell a kid "Go get the nurse!" and it's pretty quick. Even if she can't really treat him, she could at least assess the situation and decide if an ambulance should be called or what.

That's exactly where our nurse's office was! Right next to the principal's office. I never had to visit

Our custodians were pretty good. I worked as a school custodian one summer when I was 15, and then I was a custodian in the dorms one summer of college. It's NOT a fun job and people really do take what you do for granted. The prevailing attitude of most kids is "That's what the janitor is for." Like...."I don't need to throw this in the trash....that's what the janitor is for." I remember in 6th grade, the custodians got so tired of the messy classrooms that they implemented a sort of star chart type thing. There was a bear cutout that they would hang up if the classroom was in decent shape when they came in to clean. If you didn't get a bear, the next day, you had to clean the classroom yourself. Teachers would get really anxious if it wasn't clean because they didn't want to have to clean it themselves and they couldn't keep kids after because so many of them rode the bus and the bus wouldn't wait....it wasn't fair to the other kids who would always be the ones who had to stay late because the bus kids couldn't.
Here, we don't have custodians at the school during the day. They come in for like an hour or 2 when the kids go home, they empty the trashes and they clean the bathrooms. That's it. They don't wipe down desks or clean floors. The kids have "classroom duty" in pairs. Two kids are assigned each week to sweep the floors, put materials away, put the chairs on the desks, etc. So the janitors here have it pretty easy.

In the Netherlands, you aren't allowed to just take your husband's name. You HAVE to hyphenate. It was an issue for me, because we got married in the US and lived there for over a year before we got here, so I had already taken his name and my documents had his name on it, but my birth certificate still had my maiden name, obviously. They made me switch it back.

Sorry to hear that you and your fellow teachers, etc., are dealing with this situation, and hope things get better in the future for all of you. (I can understand the 2-10 PM shift would be harder to fill. But an earlier shift shouldn't be as much of a challenge, I would presume.)
Although I don't have any facts in your school's example, I would still hope that if they're paying someone (or an outside company) for custodial services, they're at least getting the basics done. Even mundane jobs can be done well, if the correct person is hired. Some people like jobs like that, because they're on their own, and don't have a boss hanging over them.

It's a sign - you definitely need to come on down!
