My sub job went to the end of the day, so I decided to accept a former student's invitation to the basketball game. As usual, the game was late to start, and I was one of the few adults standing on the sideline by the bleachers for quite some time.
Eventually, a new teacher I knew joined me, and we chatted as we waited for the clock on pregame warm-ups to tick down. As we got closer to the jumpball, she looked around to see who else of her colleagues was there. "Wow!" she shook her head. "Not a lot of staff here."
"More people will probably come when the game gets going," I predicted.
"There's only like four of us here," she said with a little dismay. "And you don't even work here full time."
"That's right!" I laughed. "Which is why I actually have time to come to the game!"
