Tim Vealter: It's going to be a long week

How did I get roped into being in charge of the haunted house? Is it because I'm the newest teacher in town, and this is the way to pay my dues? It's not that I mind doing the work itself, because it'll be fun to see the gym converted into a haunted house. However, since we have to start setting up mid-next week, that means some inconveniences for teachers and students who normally use the gym. Not only do I have to find a place to relocate them to during recess, but I'm the one they're going to be upset at for the changes. Not to mention that ever since the smoke bomb at last year's Halloween, it's now my responsibility to make sure no pranks disrupt this year's festivities.
