Being an assistant principal is among the most strenuous and unappreciated jobs. However, a truly good assistant principal will know exactly how to conduct his or herself so as to relieve the everyday pressures of this important position.
First of all, make sure you remind everyone that you are the assistant principal, because clearly, the sign above your door which reads "Assistant Principal's Office" is not enough. Even your name tag, labeled assistant principal, will not always work as expected. Everyone needs to be reminded sometimes, and no one will mind.
Also, when writing passes for people recieving two detentions, be sure to draw a smiley face on each one. This will confuse foolish freshman, and immediately alert upper classmen to their plight, allowing everyone a good laugh, except the freshman, but they don't count one way or the other. Misleading new students is simply another part of your job, and anyone who does it will will even be able to pin on some extra detentions for insubordination.
Finally, having done your job as best you can, give yourself a pat on the back, and celebrate by constructing a large, unsightly office. Location doesn't matter, really, but the more trafficked the area, the better. That way everyone will see your office, and more importantly you'll get that oh so important ego booster that every Assistant Principal needs. This also serves to bemuse and confuse.
