(A little Joan Jett title...I thought I'd change it up from my normal "Bits & Pieces". And, it looks like this was a remake - as I'm sure my friend Diane would tell me...if she ever read this...by the Dave Clark Five. I'm betting I would like Joan Jett better.)
So...I stayed late at school yesterday because there was an "executive council meeting" and as a building rep, it was my turn to go. I swear I always manage to go to the ones that people just start rambling on about shit I don't care about. Why can't people figure out that in a meeting like this, issues that are "for the greater good" are the things that should be brought up rather than personal matters. JEEZ! I was there until nearly 5:30!
On another matter I finally had to lay into "useless sped teacher" yesterday. He came in to "apologize" about the mess from Friday and I pretty much told him what I thought. I could tell he was a bit nervous having to confront me but GOOD! He should be nervous. I also told him that I didn't understand how he could continue to basically not do his job (I didn't say it quite like that) and there were never any consequences to him and that it really just pissed me off. In the end, I grudgingly accepted his apology (I never really said, "It's okay" but I shrugged and said, "okay". Because I know it will happen again.)
Jim is on second shift tomorrow so he's going to start dismantling the laundry room. There are certain things in the mudroom/bathroom that have to wait for the laundry room but Jim is also working on getting the molding up around the doors and then baseboards.
Reds win!!! I actually didn't see it because it was 2-1 (Reds losing) and I didn't get home until late and I needed to watch the finale of Walking Dead. Which, by the way, I was not thrilled about. This is the worst position our "people" have ever been in and I feel like it's the beginning of the end. I mean, how many seasons can they continue? I'll be a nervous wreck until October (exaggeration).
What else? Nothing much. Oh, just a little piece of gossip (that has nothing to do with me): I was told yesterday that one of the teachers at my school won't get to teach the honors class that she's taught for years because - get this - so far this year, she's been absent a total of 4 weeks! FOUR WEEKS of missed instruction for the kids in her class. And by the way, she teaches the lowest and higher kids. And she doesn't have a chronic illness - I'm not being a total bitch. She's a definite hypochondriac though. And I I'm pretty sure she doesn't even have the sick days to do this. I'm pretty sure that she had to "borrow" sick days last year and we only get 15 a year so she can't have built any up. Crazy. Not sure how that happens. But it's not any of my business.
Okay well, best mosey. Happy Tuesday...can't believe there are flurries scattered in the tri-state area. Come on Spring!!! Later!
