What's The Opposite Of Transparency?

I think the district is really being an asshole. Apparently we have a positive covid case at the high school but how would I know? Was I told? Nope. Did I get an email? Uh-uh. Was there a meeting to tell the teachers? Negative. But apparently there was a letter sent out to parents. And the kids sure seem to be in the know because they were talking about it at school yesterday. And guess who looks like an asshole because when kids ask about how many kids are quarantined, teachers can only say, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Pisses me off, I'll tell you that. I'll ask one of my building reps about it today and see what she knows. So frustrating. And today I think there are 6 teachers out without subs so they're relying on teachers to cover and it's just impossible. 

Sorry about all the bitching. I swear I'm not a negative Nancy. This isn't how I roll normally. But these certainly aren't normal times. I will say this, however: My days teaching are getting easier and easier. I'm getting more and more comfortable with my dual role (in person and online teacher) so that's good. I wasn't nearly as exhausted at the end of yesterday as I've been so there you go...that's something. 

So happy it's Friday. I have to admit that I had a couple glasses of wine yesterday. I caved. Oh well. I've worked so hard this week though so I don't feel too terribly guilty. And my pants still fit so that's something. 

No real plans this weekend. Jim's going to go in to work tomorrow and paint a ceiling. Little overtime pay will be good. Other than that...who knows. I need to make a menu and figure out what I'm making next week. Tonight will be some leftover soup. I have ham and bean and some Brunswick soup. Yummy. 

Okay well, I'd best get going. I'm running a bit late because my computer went haywire and had to restart which took forever. So...with that, happy Friday. Have a good weekend and stay healthy. Later!
