And it all leads up to this....
Issues with Latimer came to a head today. Well, I guess she will fully realize it tomorrow, but it hit me today. Because she is a fat lazy tard she didn't go on the field trip today. She stayed behind at school to "work." I told Mr. Adams I did NOT want her in my room and he agreed. I knew it wouldn't work, and of course, I was right. We got back to school today at 2:00 and I walked into the room, immediately noticing Christian music was playing and Windex and dirty napkins were on the desks. WTF? Yes, she had been in the room. Then I noticed some my Transportation graph and my Welcome sign were moved. What is this woman thinking?? I'm sure you're thinking that I am overreacting. Believe me, I'm not. I've put up with a lot worse and well, frankly, I shouldn't have to. This is my classroom and she is MY assistant! What I say GOES. (Too bad you would never know that). Anyway, I moved the graph back where I had it and took the Welcome sign down. When she finally showed up she had one of the parents taking my birthday chart down!! I was in shock!! I didn't say anything and I guess I should have. However, when she started putting up my shapes somewhere that I didn't like I told her I didn't like it there and she moved it where I pointed without arguing. Whatever, she still didn't put them back where they were supposed to go. At this point the day is over and she has to walk the kids to Front Circle. She tells me to leave the classroom in a mess and she'll have it all straightened up when I return on Monday. That's one of the scariest things she possibly could have said. I found Mrs. White (my sub the next two days) and reminded her again not to let Latimer move my stuff around. Then Rebeclynne starts freaking out about how my room will be turned upside down by the time I come back on Monday. None of this helps my already fragile state of mind. AHHH! After the staff meeting I walked back into my room and just stopped and stared. I realized it really was time for action. I took down the birthday chart she moved and the shapes I didn't like. I put everything in her chair (that she's glued to) and wrote a note saying "Please do not rearrange anything without discussing it with me first. Have a good weekend. Call if you have any questions." I think it was short and sweet, very much "to the point." Agreed? I mean, it just HAS to stop somewhere. I also e-mailed Mr. Adams to be on the look out for my kids tomorrow. She has a habit of neglecting the kids when she's pissed at someone. I hate to ruin our "friendship" or strain or working relationship, but I just can't deal with it anymore. I'm tired of worrying about what's going to happen when I'm not in the room. That isn't in my job description, and taking over isn't in hers! Yes, she only gets paid 1/3 of what I do, that's why I get to make all the decisions!! Sorry, had to vent.
I also found out something else today. She left early yesterday. She dismissed the class as usual but then she didn't go to her front circle duty. Honestly, not my problem. Anyways, she was caught by Mr. Adams. He called her in today and she had the nerve to tell him that she told ME!! NO SHE DID NOT. In actuality, she sent the kids running (like she always does) and then she said "my car is back here." I ASSumed that meant she was leaving, but it isn't my place to check up on her and she did not come out and say it. Whatever. What really pisses me off is that she brought me into it at all. He told me it wasn't my place to check up on her and that even if she had told me it wouldn't change the fact that she didn't ask HIM. But still....what's that all about? She isn't about to get me into trouble! I'm pretty sure he believes me, especially because he knows I'm reporting anything she does. This is way too much stress that I don't need to worry with.
Think of me tomorrow in my surgery. :( Think of my class being treated like shit cause she's a childish bitch. :( :( Cross your fingers she doesn't flip out on me when I return Monday, and that she does what I've asked. I'm scared that by telling her not to do that without talking to me, she won't do ANYTHING just because "I didn't tell her to." I'm just trying to stay calm. I can't wait to talk to Rebeclynne tomorrow to see if she says anything....
