should be sleeping...
So a couple of days have passed and I have no major complaints to register with the public. Oh, just one. Where the *f* is CILLA??? :( It's been ages! Anyway...
I was kinda in the mood to go out last night but no plans ever took place. Today at school I suggested that since I wasn't going to be able to hit up Mexican :( tomorrow we should do something tonight. Easy as that, and plans were in the making. Coggins, Blakely, Annie, Valerie and I all headed to Chief's for dinner and drinks. It was a good time. We talked about school and BS. It's not like we don't spend all of our spare time thinking about school . . . now we have to hang out afterwards and talk about it as well! :) Nah though, it really was fun. Coggins was "excited we all came out." I reminded her that I did say once Susie was gone and I was all alone in the apartment I'd be forced to go out. So out I went.
So far it isn't too bad. I'm not lonely and I've kept myself busy. Tuesday night REALLY sucked just because I didn't take any school work home AND the cable was out AND all the good shows came on and I had to miss them. THEN I had already seen all of my Netflix videos so that was a waste too. What is this world coming to?
Today I found out that my long range plan is due tomorrow IN HARD COPY. I knew I had to email it to my TEAM members by tomorrow, but I knew NOTHING of a hard copy. WTF? I spent all morning spazzing out and trying to get my LRP in presentable order. Mrs. Adair wasn't happy (as usual) and I pretended to not notice because really, at that point, my LRP and keeping my job was more important. Priorities! :) I also found out that she told something she had to be the "warden in my room." What is that supposed to mean? None of us are really sure. Besides that, the only other annoyance I really had with her today was when she asked if both kindergartens were "scheduled" to be on the playground at the same time. When I said no she said "well it's just too many kids." No it isn't; they play fine together. I think it's good for the two classes to mix so 1) they have more chances to socialize with more children and 2) I have time for "adult" conversation with Annie! Tomorrow she won't be there so I'm eager to see how the day goes.
Even after I specifically made a point on Wednesday that Mrs. Hobbs said the children were VERY well-behaved and the volume level was just right, Mrs. Adair looked at me in disbelief. I'm still not sure what kind of "ideal" she has in her mind, but I think the classroom is running smooth enough. Not a well-oiled machine, but we're more than getting by.
After school today I had to talk to Mr. Adams about my LRP. He gave me the okay and promised to drop it off at the district office for me. Most likely Mrs. Strickland and Mrs. Coates will have it in their hands tomorrow afternoon. And if not, I'll just e-mail them a copy and mention that they're on their way. Oh, and did I mention that Coggins was wrong? They DON'T need a hard copy. Eerrrr!!! :-p
I called the urologist today to inform them that I was pretty positive I still have an infection (I'm more than "pretty sure") and could they please call something in. No: they wanted me to come in and give a sample. No can do said the teacher! So they tell me to come right after school. And because I talk to Mr. Adams, I'm too late. They won't let me come in tomorrow except during lab hours (early morning and lunch). I TRY to explain that this will never happen because I'M A TEACHER. Why can't they realize that just like they're at work, OTHER PEOPLE WORK TOO?!?! And really, if I can have a 4:45 appointment and give a sample, why can't I just come by to give a sample? Makes NO SENSE to me. They were very unhelpful and I was very annoyed. I ended up calling Mr. Adams, nearly in tears, to ask if I could come in at 8:30 just so I could go drop it off. It's serious enough to worry me so I had to do SOMETHING. He was fine with it, of course, but it still makes me angry. And on top of that...Mrs. Adair is out tomorrow so I'm leaving a poor substitute alone. He had better find someone to help out!
On top of that: I got a letter saying that my prescription benefit package had expired or been terminated and that I couldn't get my medicine from the urologist, written two weeks ago. But did they send the prescriptions back? No . . . they're coming later. That's bad enough, but HOW could they cancel me? Of cousre it's too late to call BC/BS cause they close too damn early.
THEN I try to call Plantations to talk to Karen and make sure that the bedroom cable situation is rectified. Left a message. No return call. Why does everyone hate me so??
I'm ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow is Friday. And no Mrs. Adair. Too bad Mexican can't follow . . . :(
