A chair about to tip over, forever

sabotabbyThere are worse things happening in the world. So many worse things. And worse things happening to friends and loved ones.
But I am selfish, and the announcement a few minutes ago that dooms my school and possibly my career is the only thing spinning over in my head.
My school will close. We won't be able to staff it with the loss of one or two staff members enough to run courses.
Thousands and thousands of teachers will be unemployed. I am hoping I'm far enough up the seniority list not to be, but I don't think I am. As I predicted, the Goatfucker decided to attack high school rather than elementary, because no one gives a shit about high school kids, or teachers, and in particular no one cares about kids like the ones I teach.
But at least the cute kindergarteners are safe. At least this year.
