It's the last period of the day and I'm at my desk. There are about 14 other teachers in this big office.

No socks feels so good.

I hear you. It's gorgeous out there, practically spring, and they've got the heat blasting in here.

I know! It's the third day of school and I was sweating in class. A drop of sweat landed on one of my student's worksheet. It was hilarious.

Only interesting if you can get some really nasty foot odour happening.
Next time wash your socks don't bother to dry them just put them straight in the closet. Wait several days for a foul odour to develop. Wear the socks to school and take them off when you arrive. By then hopefully the reek would be transfered to your ugly bare feet.

A couple of really long toenails and some hobbit hairs would make a nice finishing touch.

My main worry is now we are on the countdown to the return of the mosquitoes. Crying or Very sad

Why the hell would you wear socks and sandals?

I thought something smelled bad when I walked outside today!

TAS: You must be Canadian. My feet cannot handle -10c temperatures in the winter mornings (late Dec, winter camp in January, early February.) I had the same problem, last winter, too. Now I wear woollen socks. End of problem. The rooms are not always heated, either.

Oh, & in case you weren't aware, slippers are mandatory in Korean classrooms. They give zero support to your heels, too.

I can assure you that I looked a far bigger tool, hobbling from classroom to classroom, because my feet were split & bleeding. I've never had this problem before, in my life. It's the cold, dry air, & slippers, that are responsible.
