Ready for Tuesday

Hey, A,

I had trouble getting started this morning, so I enjoyed the flexibility of not having to get here on time, as I wasn't giving a first period exam. I showed up a little after 8, which was nice. Unfortunately, it's been one of those days ever since...

Another science teacher was firmly rooted in the department office when I got there, making no signs of being courteous and offering to get off the computer or phone or even ask if I needed/wanted to use either of them. I wished I stayed out until 9:15. Then we get a memo from the principal that if we have a snow day Wednesday (we're expecting another storm), grades will still be due Monday. He's not going to push them back. That is just an ongoing bone of contention and always will be. It assumes we will work on a snow day, when as far as I'm concerned I'll be working an extra day in June to make up for the luxury of not working on a snow day.

Of course the snow day screws thing up for me otherwise. I intended on calling in sick Wednesday because I have an ob-gyn appointment in Hartford. As much as I'd rather not call in sick again, I also don't want to reschedule this appointment again. They've already extended my birth control prescription 3 months since my last reschedule, and I'm not sure if they'll cut me off.

So that's 3 things that have me in a bad mood now and looking forward to a cocktail this afternoon. AARGGH.

Hope you're enjoying your day. Talk to you soon.

xo,
B
