The Whiteboard Accident

The other day I was a bit late and had to rush to class. I was doing my first lesson, a kind of self introduction using the computer with the projector and the whiteboard. I got there just when the chime went on, set up everything in a hurry and started my lesson.

The whiteboard marker I used ran out of ink, so I grabbed another.  When the lesson ended and I was about to clean the board I had to realize that I can't erase the words....first I was like, God, I picked the poster marker that is for regular paper...then I started panicking...what if I can't erase it? After all it's the schools property, I don't want to buy a white board.

I gave the marker a closer look. It said the base is oil...hmmm....I ran to the cleaning lady and borrowed a bottle of detergent. It worked, but I was rubbing the board for about 30 minutes and I felt so dumb...LOL.....well, I'm blond, I guess I can afford it.

It wasn't until I went home that my boyfriend told me: the easiest way to clear it off would have been to write on top of the poster marker with a whiteboard marker and erase it. Just a practical advice if any of you ever needs it... （＾－＾）ｖ
