Decisions

I've made some decisions. I've made the decision to...put faux flowers out on my deck. I know! It's chancy. It's a gamble. But, there are places on my deck that get so much sun that my flowers just die mid-way through summer which is such a waste. I'm going to do some research; read some reviews and find some that will last several seasons so the cost is effective. I mean, if I don't like them, I can return them. I'm still going to do real flowers in my boxes which line the deck railings out back but other than that I'm going fake. I'm thinking about getting faux hibiscus too because those are so hard to find anymore (that don't cost an arm and a leg). We'll see. That's going to be my job today: Faux flower research. 

Speaking of school...I hate it so much right now. Yesterday, all day, there were little fuckers outside my door playing hacky sack and being loud. I tried to ignore and not make a deal of it but finally at 6th period, it got to the point where the kids were loud, cussing and finally I heard one student yelling at another student threatening to fight. The "n" word was thrown around and that did it for me. I went out, yelled at the kids and told them to take themselves down to the office. Of course I got, "I'm not going down to the fucking office. Fuck you." Okay. Meanwhile I'm calling every person of authority in my building and getting not answers. I called our SRO with no answer. I call security. Nothing. Finally, one of the security people comes down to my room and says, "I saw you called. What's up?" (So you were sitting in the office where I'd just called the sheriff doing nothing while dozens of kids are milling about the hallways?) She obviously was not prepared for my wrath because I went off. In fact, oops, I cussed a bit in front of my class. I told her that the hoodlums outside my classroom, cussing, using the "n" word and trying to fight were not the kind of shit I am paid to deal with. She immediately went on the hunt...I guess...who knows.

I ended up putting an email out to all the admins basically saying what the fuck! I said it was ridiculous that I'm trying to call all the powers that be and not one person answered their phone. After school I got a response from one of my admins saying, "Ooh, sorry. We were all in an admin counseling meeting that started at 1:00 and not in the building." WHAT!? We have 4 admins (if you can call them that) and they're all out of the building?! I'm losing my mind. Needless to say, I will be responding this morning telling them how I feel. Seriously! In the last two weeks of school when the kids are nuts already you leave the building without at least one admin? Oh, and then he tells me in the email that they were aware of the kids in the hallways playing hacky sack. But apparently they did nothing about it. What kind of fucking romper room am I fucking working in?! You can't make this shit up. 

Breathe Muir!

Dinner tonight: I'm going to make the air fryer sweet chili, chicken and brussel sprout stir fry. It's easy and yummy. 

Okay, I ran a little late this morning (perusing faux flowers) so I've run out of time. Best get a move on. Later!
