yuck. morning sucked. woke up to snowing squishy flakes that slimed me at 5:20 a.m. on my way to walk. flopped around all night... tired because of time change. didn't lose a pound and that pisses me off. I work hard at that!
then boss called me into his office. dread... aaaa... doom. but he was really nice to me. I got an excellent/exceeds expectations on my yearly review. phew! he told me that I have a fan club going of teachers who think I'm the bees knees. he also assured me that no matter what happens with the school, that as many hours a day that we are open, my library will be open. that is what he wants... and that I must keep doing what I do so well...ohthankyougod!
which brings this to mind. when you work with kids, you have to be a bit of a kid yourself. this week I' still reading Irish fairy tales and using my best... which is pretty sad really... Irish accent. silly and fun. stories I love, love, love. Today was a story about a pooka.
at least I won't make any kids cry like I did when I read stories about Martin Luthor King Jr. I felt so bad about that! I broke a 4th grader!
oooh it's probation officer night and fun group therapy meeting for the boy's dad in the town to the left tonight. my least favorite evening of the week. I get to sit in the car and wait for about 3 hours total. i can't wait to be quit of this junk! i feel like i'm on probation too. pisses me off big time.
i hate mondays. remember the Boomtown Rat's "I Don't Like Mondays?"
but at least my work day ended well.
Do have a wonderful evening and do something surprising and fun for someone you love! it will make you feel great too. i shall take my own advice and cheer myself up that way.

Mr Yuck is mean, Mr Yuck is green.
ReplyDeleteI love that song.
ReplyDeleteBut hey, how could a day be bad when you find out you're the bee's knees?
Getting a glowing report from your boss is always a high-inducing experience. It should last you for a while.
ReplyDeleteBTW how in the world can you stand sitting in a car for 3 hours? I'd go stir crazy.
who's on probation?
ReplyDeleteCube-- I hate it. Use my MP3 player and read. I sit in a grocery store parking lot. Boooooorrrrriiiinnnng.
ReplyDeletebilly-- the boy's dad is on probation. he can't drive, so I do it. We are seperated but he is at my house all the time... for the boys.
we're more like rock 'em sock 'em robots.
That's verbal rock 'em - sock 'em robots. My pride would never allow a man to actually hit me and me still have anything to do with him. And he's not that sort either. I'll give him that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there a coffee shop anywhere near there where you could at least hang out? That does seem like you're on probation too and you haven't done anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteI do that sometimes, but I find that when I go to a coffee shop or some other eatery, I end up eating because I am bored. That is not something that I can afford to do. Pounds love me like a fat kid loves cake. But thanks for the suggestion. As soon as it becomes lighter in the evenings, I can go down and walk along the river, which I love and then it's not so bad. It's this darned winter!
ReplyDeleteI happen to really like the Irish accent! Yes, I have to do something really nice for someone today, or better still how about I send this post to my someone and hint that he should do something nice for someone. (hint hint person= me, and thing = cook dinner!)
ReplyDeleteSSQuo-- Yes, that will work too. What agoes around comes around back to you...Enjoy! ha
