Crummy week wrap-up

December 2, 2007 am31 12:10 am
  • Sick Monday. Felt lousy all week.
  • Put on Thanksgiving and post-Thanksgiving weight.
  • Scheduling conflict. Largely my fault. Postponed chapter meeting.
  • Pissed off 2 co-workers, and vice versa. One’s not talking to me.
  • In the process of preparing schedules for next term, learned from kids about 4 schedule changes, 2 of them major, that I should have known before I started. At least four adults could have let me know…
  • Made sure a kid who should not have been going on a trip (Am. Museum of Natural History) didn’t go. Checked with other teachers. It was the right thing to do. We agreed. Then why did another teacher tell the kid not that he was banned, but that Mr. 2718 had banned him? So I told the kid “no,” but still… Love that teamwork…
  • Didn’t go walking, not once.
  • Didn’t visit McRib, not once. (He’ll be back teaching on Monday)
  • Colleague died. (Rumor says MRSA, but doesn’t matter. Gone is gone.)
  • Watermain break Friday, water stayed on, but possibility building would be closed Monday

The bits of good came, but late:

  • (actually before the week started) made soup. Photos to come.
  • went on trip to museum (yeah!)
  • On Thursday, had an observer in class (training to be a math teacher). I announced she was there. Kid sitting near me whispered (does that mean we can’t have fun today?)*
  • Principal called this morning. Pipe is repaired.
  • This week is over.

*Best of the best

    I had to use html to type in the link. Blogger would only let me post with a blogger account, or anonymously. At the top of the comment it says “annoymous”

    I don’t know why–when I tried to comment on my own blog, I was signed in as myself. Sorry.

    Looks like it happened on many (most? all?) blogspot blogs. They used to let me sign with a wordpress address. Not any more?

    Yeah, I noticed that too. Sometimes I can sign-in, sometimes I can’t. Strange.

    Hope you’re feeling better.

    Sounds like you’re having a bad stretch. Hang in there. And, someone’s going to be pissed no matter what. He/She will get over it.
