An Assistant in need..

Now, that was simply too much for me..that too  first thing in the morning to face on the first day of the week. As I parked my vehicle in the departmental parking, I knew I was 15 minutes late, but still in time for attending the due seminar. Before I could think any thing else while getting hold of all my belongings out of the back seat, the peon came running to me, "Ma'am is calling you..", and without looking at my face full of exclamation marks he was gone. My steps directed themselves to the first floor where one of my colleagues sympathetically asked me to go as students of Lab Technology were creating chaos in the corridor..Oh, I was in dire need of an assistant to remind me oft and on that I was  In-charge of these students, my brain cells cried for help. 
I grabbed the practical file and rushed to the demonstration room where thirty or so girls and boys of the first year degree batch were busy in their own gossips reminding me sheep without their shepherd.
When the class was about to attain its one hour due completion after an enduring demonstration notes' session on blood sugar estimation, about four or five students started heading for the exit. It was enough for me to throw a fit, and mark them as absent for the day, though later they explained their genuine reason that they were physiotherapy students mistakenly attending the class.
Not to mention the meeting with the Head, it was somewhat shorter and sweeter than what my expectations were. My wish got fulfilled before asking, I had been given a sub-ordinate for help!
