work rant
Wow it's been almost a year. Anyway, academically things couldn't be going better for me. I'm taking fifteen credits, have A's or B's in all of them so far and nothing's too strenuous. Plus there's the added benefit that two of my classes teach basically the same thing so I get learn one day, then review the next. That much less studying at home for me!
I'm working at the montessori school during the school year, and aside from my co-worker, I like it. Crazy how it's all the 2-6 year old kids that make me like it and the one adult I work with that makes me cringe. She's only technically an assistant teacher and she's taking classes that will qualify her to be a teacher. Today someone came in to observe her in the classroom to see how she interacts with the kids. Let me just say that today was a completely different person than she is on any other day during the school year. I had to bite my tongue several times so I wouldn't make some comment about that. But today was an easy day at work compared to yesterday. We only had 11 kids and yesterday it was 19.
Poor Sydney wasn't feeling well and as soon as her mom got there to pick her up she threw way more than I would have imagined she would have. While her mom was helping her to clean up I got Vaughn up since he was still asleep and got him ready to go home. Then I cleaned up the mess in the bathroom and classroom. Of course that ran into snack time but good old M just couldn't handle that sometimes you need to ADJUST to the situation. I was not going to leave the mess just sitting there on the floor for anyone to walk through. Plus I wanted to get rid of the smell. Once I did get snack there she got on my case about how the kids were impatient since they had to wait so long. See, the solution to the problem would have been to PREVENT it. In other words, let the kids play until I was at least getting snack ready instead of making them clean up at the same time they always do even though I'm slightly preoccupied. I always thought brains were in part for assessing situations and finding a solution any problems that may arise. But I guess some people just get stuck in a rut easier than others.
Oh and this same person held me up for FIFTEEN minutes after work last week telling me that I couldn't be mad at her for anything because God said so and that if I was than my heart was black and would burn in hell. I forgot to mention that I happened to have a rehearsal that evening that I always just barely get to in time when I leave right after work. I told her I didn't have time to sit and chat and why but did she listen? No. So for any of you reading this, I'm going to hell. At least according to the judgment of one person. I however am leaving my judgment up to a higher being thank you very much.
