Guest guest Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Friday I was a grump all day! The night before I had been very sick and was in a bad mood because my ribs and back hurt from vomiting and my head also hurt from the strain. My allergies were acting up and my thumb kept twitching which annoyed me. On top of that it was feild day for 4th - 8th grades at our school -which is usually fun enough( I have more fun with the K-3rd grades) but very exhausting. Needless to say I just didn't want to be at work at all and didn't pretend otherwise. I had to stay late so I could do my summstive evaluation and sign next years contract with the principal. I kept thinking Oh yeah staying late on a friday of all days we could have done this at a different time so I dont have to stay late. After the contract was signed she asked me to come to give my opinion on something - Of course I did but was thinking I just want to go home and take a nap it is now 4:30 cant this wait? (I still was not in any mood because I only got a 1% raise for next year and will already be getting a $2000 pay cut because I will not be a lead teacher due to the maternity leave so less money on top of having a baby picks me right up!) Well when we walked into the room it was really a surprise shower for me from some of the staff. WOW that was NOT what I was expecting. It seems that this had been planed for a couple of weeks now and everybody kept the secret very well. Hubby was even there but he didn't know until this afternoon when I mentioned to my co worker that he would be getting off work early and I wanted to go home and not stay for the summative. They wanted to do it before the end of the year because so many of the people I have worked with for years will be moving on this year( yeah with a longer school day - a longer school year and only a 1% raise it shouldn't be a surprise why so many are leaving - still bitter - sorry) I got a lot of nice things- A couple of things from the registry and they didn't even know about the list- so I will have to remove those things from the registry. I forgot all about the grumpyness I was so surprised. It felt like Christmas as a little child I have not opened so many things since I was young. (Fred and I usually cannot afford Christmas so no gifts to open) It was nice and fun and I felt a little bad though - like of all days to be a bitch all day was the day they were planning for me. Oh well it turned out to be a good ending to a long week. I have a busy weekend in store also -Have a GREAT weekend to you all - Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
