Let The Shit Show Begin

Today is day one of testing and it's already/still in shambles. My VP has fucked shit up so badly I'm not convinced it isn't on purpose. You know, so he won't have to be put in charge again. I mentioned all the eff ups on Monday after he first sent out assignments but he continues to foul things up. He's got 14 kids assigned in my room. I have 12 desks. I mean dude! Get your shit together! That is not optimal testing conditions when you place that many jackholes in my room. Not to mention that on Thursday I'm adding Greg so he can crank out his Geometry test so he won't miss class next week for make ups. ARG!!! I certainly wouldn't want the job of organizing this but the first thing you should be aware of when placing kids in a room is how many seats there are! ARG ARG!!!

The good thing about testing is that I'm only proctoring during the AM sessions. This means I'll be done by 11:00 with the rest of the day to myself. Phew.

And now for the saga that continues to be my spa. As you know, Darek showed up yesterday to replace the pads that had come out last year. He got to the house around noon and at 12:45, I was getting a call from him. He said, "Are you aware of the large "bubbles" in the spa about the size of a softball?" I said, "Yes, on either side of the spa at the front?" He said, "Yes. Those shouldn't be there." This is why the pads came up. He said, "The good news is, it's an easy fix. The bad news is, that once I fix it, you'll have to put water in the spa. Let it sit about 2 months to force the bubbles down again and then drain it so I can then replace the side panel pads." (He was able to replace the middle and largest pad.) Needless to say I was flustered, to say the least. I said, "Darek. I'm going to say some things now to you knowing that this isn't your fault but I have to vent." And I proceeded to spew my frustrations and demand that Watson's or Bullfrog make this right. I mean, this will mean that I've had to drain my spa 3 times because of fuckups! ARG!!! So frustrating. I haven't yet called Watson's to talk to the person who Darek told me to start with; I'll probably do that today during my down time at school. 

Dinner: I'll probably grill a pork tenderloin. I have one pulled from the freezer and it's easy. 

Not much beyond all that to talk about so I guess I'll get to school so I can prep. Happy Wednesday! Later!
