You'll Be Happy To Know...

..it wasn't completely awful yesterday. Here were the high points: 

• I got to see the people I like and commiserate with them. 
• I did NOT have to hear my former principal prattle on and on about nothing simply so he could get his word quota in for the day. 
• My new "principal" seems like he's going to pretty much leave us alone. He'll still be based out of the JH and emphasized that he tends to be a "hands off" administrator who believes the staff are professionals and can handle themselves. 
• The VP I like the most is in charge of special ed. 
• Found out today is only a 1/2 day of PD which means we'll have the afternoon to ourselves. 
• The science issue wasn't really an issue. My department head is stupid and misremembered. All you really need to know is my department head is stupid. 

Some of the low points were: 

• Being back at work but like one of my lunch ladies said, "You gotta start the year to end the year."
• The schedules for my LA class still aren't fixed. I did get my admin and department head on board for getting shit straightened out so hopefully they'll crack some skulls.
• My computer is being an asshole and my tech buddy was nowhere to be found yesterday. I hate not having two monitors. 
• My new principal put some sort of weekly schedule up for meetings, like every Thursday. Looks like I'm going to be absent every Thursday. And by the way! I'm not going to a meeting every fucking week! For what purpose? Strike one new guy! 
• We have Open House tonight. It's better than in the past, however (high point...well middle point) because it's only between 4 and 6 and at least it isn't a week after school starts and after a full day of stupid teaching. 

So, because of Open House, I won't be cooking tonight. I'll race home around 2:00 so I can let the pups out, change and then race back so I'm there by 4:00. I'll then skate out exactly at 6:00 and meet Jim at Desha's. Yummy.

Since I can't exercise after school, I decided to do my elliptical this morning which means I didn't do any yoga. Although I did do some ab work. I need to lose some of this flab. We'll walk the boys after we get home from dinner. It'd be too hot after school anyway. We walked them after dinner last night and it was miserable. Scout only made it about a mile and a half and that was with two stops for water. 

And that's all I've got. I need to get to school early so I can leave a little early to come home for the dogs. They're feeding us breakfast this morning but I won't partake, which will be tough because they're getting Panera and their cinnamon sugar bagels are SOOOOOO good. I'll just have some coffee. 

K - later!
