Disappointed So Far

Yesterday when I was doing my dinner prep, I got a text from Lisa asking that we all (my sped department) check our emails and get back to her ASAP. The email basically gave us information about Jorge's funeral and would we want to go because the administration is trying to figure things out. I, of course, responded with a "yes". Then I wake up this morning and get an email that has an attachment from a text sent to Lisa from my admin that says, "Here's what you can say to your department...We are encouraging everyone who wants to, to attend either Monday or Tuesdays service. We encourage people to attend Monday night. However, if people decide to attend on Tuesday they would be permitted to do so free of charge as long as they start their day at school, go to the service and then come back to school. We will make sure everyone has internal coverage, from district employees, for the time they are gone. If people plan to be gone the entire day, it would need to be taken as a personal day." 

Now, first of all, fuck you! Second of all, fuck you. Third, and I mean this will all my heart, fuck you! Now, I will say here that Lisa then sent a follow up email after that saying she'd spoken to our dumb fuck leader and we should now ignore the last email. I don't know what's going on but to throw such dumb fuck words out there about coverage and taking a personal day when I beloved collegue and friend has died is just heartless. I mean, the funeral is at 11:00. To think that we'd come back after the funeral to finish out our day at school when school ends at 2:15? Do you think a funeral takes 30 minutes or something? And to think that it's reasonable to ask us to go to school before hand? Heartless. He loves to say to his staff, "You know my heart..." Well, I guess I do now. I'm not sure you have one. This is a guy who speaks and acts before he thinks and it's getting so old. I'm sure there'll be some "urgent" meeting this morning where he'll "clarify" what he meant in his communications. He'll apologize, backtrack and I'll ignore most, if not all of what he says. So disappointed. 

In other news, I'm fully vaccinated and boosted! I came home and felt fine. I took a bike ride and felt fine. I cooked my dinner, felt fine. Had my tea and cinnamon swirl bread and felt fine. I then decided to go to bed and yes it was 7:00 but I was tired and decided to head up and read with the possible expectation that I'd be more tired than usual. I put my book down at 7:30 and then slept until 5:00 with the exception of getting up to pee at 10:00. I slept for 9 hours and guess what? Aside from my arm hurting, all is well. So there you go! 

Not much else is happening. Dinner tonight will be leftovers because I made a ton the other night for our taco bowls and need to get rid of that. 

K - best get a move on. Happy...oooohhhh...Thursday! Tomorrow's Friday! Woot. Later!
