theruiner, you were right in Little Things That Piss You Off: it was a lot better than I feared. I had a good day at school today, and the kids were mostly happy to see me again and didn't like the substitute one bit, so that was great
I also had a talk with a boy who talked about being bi for the first time in his life, and I think I handled it rather well. It's a relief to be able to just talk about myself now, and I noticed he was really shocked by what I had to say. He couldn't imagine being in a relationship with a girl and telling her that he also liked boys, he thought no girl would want him. My heart breaks for that kid. But I do feel good about the conversation, so... it's one of those rare moments that I'm actually glad to be gay, because it's something I understand better than most of his other teachers.
