Treania Is Eating Yogurt...

 I am just utterly dumbfounded by how much District 2 cares about their custodians.
It's a PD day today and so the teachers were suppose to be at Moncton High all day today in meetings and whatnot, but with the news of bad weather on the horizon the district immediately noticed the possible danger and canceled. Because the roads were going to be FAR to dangerous for the teachers, and they had no intentions of putting them at any risk by making them go. Yet, I get woken up at 730am, when I worked the night before and actually didnt get to sleep till 5am, being told that I HAVE to be at work for 9am, when my regular shift doesn't start till 3pm.
I like that the roads were too bad for the teachers to be driving on but those same roads are just A Ok for me and everyother custodian in the district. Oh and TAs, secretaries and guidance counselors are also not important enough to not have to go to work in a storm.
Well at least the district didn't close down all their operations as soon as I got there, because that's happened to be a few times. Where there's a really bad storm but I'm still required to go in to work for a certain time, say 9am and by the time I get up, get ready, shovel my car out and drive to work it's been cancelled, and we're being sent home. I'm assuming because they get so many angry calls from people telling them the roads are too bad and they're not going in.
But, at least that wasn't the case this morning.
I dragged my un-makeuped, tired as fuck ass down to work for 2 hours and then I was sent home... in the worst of the storm. No they couldn't anticipate that the roads would be too bad for us, they had to just wait it out, force us to go to work, then when the roads get too bad to drive on, that's when they send us out to drive on them.
I'm just really fucking sick of the district, and the lack of, even an ounce of, respect. I know I'm just a fucking janitor. I KNOW. But, I work my ass of 7 days a week, I do alot more than just clean shit. I go far beyond what I get paid for, I will help anyone with anything they need, and believe me teachers are needy fuckers. With fixing things, setting the school up for events, doing random little things that I don't have time for but always end up doing because I'm a people pleaser. I worked at Bessborough for a few months and they had a fun fair and assemblys and Christmas concerts while I was there. I put in so much over time (which I didn't get paid for) I would come in on the weekend to set things up, I worked my ass off during the fun fair even though I really was suppose to have nothing to do with it, I still ended up working hours past when I was suppse to and having to come in on the weekend to clean up the mess they made, even though they were suppose to clean it themselves. I did alot for them and I was there during Christmas, the two other guys that work there got a cute little christmas cards made by the kids and a nice gift certificate and homemade fudge, and even another casual who worked there 4-5 months ago, even he got all of this. Wanna know what I got? Little old me that does so much for them. NOTHING FUCKING NOTHING  I DIDN'T EVEN GET A FUCKING CHRISTMAS CARD! REALLY IS THAT TOO MUCH TO EXPECT! THEY FUCKING KNOW ME, I'VE WORKED THERE OFF AND ON FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND MY DADS BEEN FULL TIME OVER THERE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS! YET I GET FUCKING NOTHING. My dad was mad about it so he told the Vice Principal that he didn't think it was fair. She agreed and acted so offended, because another teacher was in charge of making sure we got the card and the presents and stuff and she must not have known I was there and oh she was going to fix it and give the teacher a good talking to. Yeah and that was over a month ago. And nothing, still. Not even a apology. I know it's stupid but it really hurts my feelings. Me and my dad come in on the weekend and stay for hours putting things together for the Vice Principal, setting things up for her, painting...Whatever all on our own time, we don't get paid for it and apparently it's not appreciated. Phonies. Every fucking one of them. They act so nice to your face, but apparently to them we just don't really exist, because of course they're so much better than us in every way possible. Money went missing from a school I was in and guess who got blamed right off the bat, that's right me and the other custodians that worked there. Because we are poor and are all thieves with no education. Well know who actually took the money? The secretary, suck on that fuckers.
You know how uneducated we all are? Well most custodians for the district actually have university degrees, and for some reason or another had to take a job with the district. Theres a guy, brilliant. One of the smartest people I've ever met, enormously high IQ, was in a prestigious university. He had an accident, had to get a plate in his head, had to quite school to recover, and thats why he's working for the district.
Arrrr I wasn't this mad to begin with but I've worked myself all up. I need one of those punching bags!
I'm annoyed and that's why I'm going back to school, because if I don't I might end up murdering someone! Because no matter what I end up doing in life, no matter how much money I do or don't make, I would never think or act better than someone else.
