The New Year So Far...

Well it has been quite a while since I last wrote anything here. So I am writing now. Yay me!

Anyway there has been a lot on my mind lately but I've been too lazy to write about it. And I have had a lot of stress put in my life lately. So this kind of needs to be written. The nice part is on my iTunes right now is "Dancing Through Life" from Wicked so that's an interesting coincidence.

So I have been really stressed out about work lately. Not because I'm not getting along with anyone; I get along with all of my co-workers very well as a matter of fact...well almost all of them, but I'll get to that in a minute. First off, the main reason I'm stressed about work is because there are too many children in the classroom on certain days. Technically because there are 3 teachers in the room there can be up to 21 children in the room (ratio is 1:7) but we just don't have enough room for that and Audrey (director) wouldn't do anything that nuts...at least I don't think she would. Anyway we have 16 kids in the room on MWF and there have to be 3 teachers in the room at all times to keep the ratio. Well that's a bit of a problem at times because sometimes the teachers have to get something from the break room or use the bathroom or warm up their lunch...well we don't seem to have enough staff for all of this. So what happens? Audrey 'yells' at us because if we leave the room for one second (just to put something in someone's cubby which is right outside the room) we're out of ratio. Please! We are right outside the room for half a second. Ugh she is getting on my nerves more and more lately.

One of the main reasons being that she's a comple hypocrite. She told us at a recent staff meeting that if we (staff) are sick, to call either her or the other on-site teachers by 6:30am that day. That's fine, I have absolutely no problem with that. Except when I called in sick one morning (at 6:15 thank you very much), she sounded as though she was angry and didn't believe me. She had the nerve to ask me if there was any way I could come in for a little while. I was sick with the stomach flu. I wanted to puke on her! Well not really but I was that mad. So yeah she tells us that she wants us to STAY HOME if we are sick so we don't get the kids sick. Good, that's how it should be. But on more than one occassion teachers have been sick and have had to come to work. Isn't that pretty much what Audrey did not want to happen? Hmm, makes one think if she's really cut out for this job.

All right enough ranting on about that. The bulk of it is on my myspace blog. So I will end this by saying hello to the LG.org "gangstas"! Hi guys! You know who you are. :-)
