Poor Jimmy Part 17

(Seems I have a blog post titled "Poor Jimmy" just about once a month...weather it's because he pulled a Jimmy or because of other circumstances.)

So why poor Jimmy? Well, last week he worked 21 hours overtime (including working a 12 hour day Sunday). The job he's been on (the one for the cause of his overtime) is long and had to be mostly completed by yesterday. Unfortunately, Jim had to work it alone (for the most part), a job too large for one person, because most of the other workers at his company are on the Radison project down in Covington (28 floors being painted). After working 12 hours Sunday, he had to go back to the job yesterday morning for what was supposed to be a couple hours. He ended up there from 7 until 4 and then he had to come home and leave after grabbing dinner to work from 5:30 - 12:30 last night. I didn't hear him come in but he's currently still in bed. Today he'll take a few hours down at said job before wrapping it up and then working again tonight until midnight. UGH!

A few  good things about all of this, however, is that he'll have a SWEET paycheck this week, he'll most likely get Friday off and it makes the possibility of him being able to go to PIB next week more likely (though that is still slightly up in the air...I'm giving him until Thursday to have a definite answer).

Today's plans: Not sure what I've got in store. I may just hang here and do some cleaning (Mom will be here Thursday on her way to Columbus), quilting and tanning (if it's nice).

I got a TON done in our room yesterday. Lisa and I unpacked nearly ALL of the boxes in our new room (there were about 50 or more). Lisa still needs to get her "cooking cabinet" together but other than that, it's done. I got my LA/SS cabinet together as well as my desk and everything is in it's place. We still need to get one computer hooked up and Lisa's phone moved (they accidentally hooked it up to Kim and Diane's computer). We made great headway though and opening day and our work day should be much smoother.

In terms of schedules at school things are still slightly effed up but at this point they won't be fixing it (because they are morons and it's too late at this point). I'm a bit pissed at FW as well (and yes, she is still deserved of her nickname). Apparently the annoyed email that I sent her regarding the effed up schedules - she just forwarded to the guidance secretary who was taking care of scheduling (which I wasn't aware of). This was an email not meant for anyone else's eyes but hers and so the secretary thought I was being an asshole to her and got pissed. I explained to her yesterday that my annoyance had nothing to do with her but rather our "fearless" (faithless) leader. Looks as though he passed the buck and in doing so he went back on all the promises he made to our department (we would be a priority, we/our students would come first...la la la la la...a load of bullshit). At this point, I should just not care (like the majority of my department) and point fingers but I can't...it's just not in my nature.

So that's all I've got. I guess I should go see what's up with Jimmy...don't want him to get in trouble for sleeping so late. Happy Tuesday. Later!
