When my son came home from school he told me that he was hot that day and that the teacher had a fan going and the doors open all day.
Later that night, I got a call from the school saying that school was canceled the following day because the air conditioning system had gone down and would not be repaired in time.
This was a bit of an inconvenience because I had to work the next day. Usually, I schedule my work schedule around my son’s school schedule. I am fortunate to be able to do this. However, my workplace does require a bit of notice. Of course, there are times when Jason is sick and I can’t help but call in to work. However, since he was not sick, I decided to just take him to work with me this one time. I made sure to bring toys and other distractions for my son. He can entertain himself anyway. It actually went better than expected. Jason was cool and comfortable in my air conditioned office. He worked very hard at not bothering any of my coworkers and I managed to get some work done. At the end of the workday, my boss told me that Jason is welcome back whenever I need and that she hardly even noticed he was there. That made me proud, as his mom. I think Jason was a little disappointed though that I got a call saying that the school air conditioner was fixed and that class would resume the following day. I assured him that there would be other opportunities for him to come to work with me.
