I travel a lot for work. Like, pretty much every single day. Not too incredibly far, but some good distances from one end of the OC to the other. Been trained at most every single of the dozen-or-so sites my program runs, and can teach most all of them at a moment's notice (and have done so many times).
But today I was sent someplace new. Someplace I haven't seen actually run in 6+ months, someplace that runs way differently than all of our other sites. And not only did I have to go there today, but I had to teach there too--15 4th-graders were looking expectantly at me to tell them all about the Capistrano and San Onofre Breccia formations. And I only sorta kinda knew what I was supposed to tell them; definitely had a few moments where I would say something and then pause, thinking frantically, "Now what do I do next?!" Yet somehow, the day flew by, the kids didn't revolt, and everyone was smiling when the bus pulled away. And now I've got a new site [mostly] under my belt.
