Thoughts and prayers are with you....
I'll bring home made pizza for the slumber party!
Hawian, peperoni, or extra cheese?
What's your poison? LOL!
Only a lil whine tonight.
Today was the first time I didn't have anything to do after school,
And I was tooooo dang tired to do anything but eat and come on the computer.
No, I did make a quick pit stop at the union office,
To inquire about what's taking over two weeks to get the minutes of our meeting out to the 104 displaced teachers!
I typed them up; sent them in; offered to email them out; but, nooooooooo......
*They* have to send them out.
Problem is, they are sooooo busy,
And I totally understand why -- lawsuits up the kazooo over this kangaroo administration.
Which is exactly *why* I offered to send them out.
Anyway, she sent them out today.
With a nice explaination that it was her fault, not mine.
But, there's so much disappointment within the ranks of the 104 of us,
After being displaced and being made substitutes again while this administration hires newbies in our place, with the intent of firing us at the end of the year!
(Thank G*D state law won't allow that!)
But, with the amount of disappointment, this lapse *may* just make the members of our group think that this is just another blow-off.
And this group was brought to the attention of the union
By *yours truely*
Who saw that we needed the support of each other d
And that the union could get much valuable information from us.
(Which has already come true from one meetng!)
So, WA, WA, WA!
Whine over -- for now!
Hmmm.....was that just a lil whine? LOL!
Shalom!

least, sorry about the yellow puddle.
*WARNING--LONG WHINE*
I just woke up from a hellish workday yesterday. I slept about 10 or 11 hours. I still need more sleep…it was that bad.
There’s been all sorts of drama going on at work. Looks like the supervisor I had a problem with better understands me now…we’re cool…so that’s good.
One of the employees is causing problems at work. I asked this person to use a product from the previous day and this person refused…plus had an attitude about it. Turns out I was wrong to ask this person to do this…all of that stuff was supposed to have been thrown out the night before even though it was still good to be used based upon the prep time of the produce in question. Anyways….this person got an attitude…I wasn’t going to put up with it, so I told this person to clock out and go home. What a relief.
NOT.
The person I sent home made some phone calls. My boss called me up. He didn’t identify himself, but I knew who it was. I was so angry I decided to mess with him a bit. He starts off on this rant about quality control--I interrupt and say “Who is this?” He said, “You know who this is”. He starts off on a rant again--I interrupt AGAIN. Me--“What’s this all about?” He goes on to rant about the product I asked the disgruntled employee to use. He said that even though the produce was still useable within its hold-time it should have been thrown out. Blah, blah, blah……and then he tells me that he told the disgruntled employee it was okay to go…back…to….work! I said, “You overruled my decision? You’re letting xxxx come back?” He said, “Yes…” I interrupted and practically screamed, “I’m putting in my two weeks!” *click*
First of all, he didn’t bother to call me to ask what the situation was. If he had, he would have know that this employee was causing trouble and has been causing trouble lately because this employee is mad at the people running the store (that’s a long story…I won’t go into that…but I will say that the employee should only be mad at said employee’s own very bad behavior.). My boss wasn’t around to witness what happened and how it happened. I was so angry after I got off of the phone I almost dropped my keys on the desk and walked. It took everything I had to stay in that store.
Second of all, there was a bunch of back and forth between my boss, one of my superiors, and the person who runs the district. The only person talking to me was my superior…she actually listened to me. She knows I’m wrong about the product, but she even told the other two that the product is besides the point. The problem I had was with the employee’s behavior….period.
What a great message to send out to the employees: behave however you want to, act like you run the store, and you’ll still have a job.
I put in my two weeks yesterday.
I was ready to quit…still am.
I don’t want to quit…as much as I hate food service it’s not a bad job as long as management puts its collective foot down and controls the store. I put my foot down yesterday because I have huge balls (In the metaphorical sense...I will not let any employee intimidate me)…and it got cut off (my 'foot'...not my imaginary balls).
My superior talked me out of quitting…for now…so I rescinded my notice.
What’s the point of me being in charge if my boss doesn’t trust my judgment? Where is the communication that’s supposed to happen between management?
All I could think about doing yesterday was going home, eating some Pop Tarts (I had 4), and getting some sleep. The two bright spots in all of this was my superior (who I’m now getting along with again) and the fact that I didn’t drink over this….I didn’t even want to drink. The old me would have gotten the biggest bottle of whatever and go to town. What a relief to not want to do that. I just wanted to eat and sleep.
And eat and sleep I did.
Further bulletins as events warrant.

Least,
I meant to ask about your back.
Have you tried a chiropractor?
I ask, cuz, as you know, I just started going after 8-10 years of back problems, and the difference and the relief is simply *amazing!*
Had I realized it, I would have gone years ago.
Cuz, the docs literally told me that they were just waiting for it to get bad enough to cut - surgery. Well, that means, they are just letting it get worse! That means they are allowing me to hurt more and more! And masking the pain with pills - which I can't take during the day if I work, cuz I'm stoned! So I hurt all the more! Then the pills at night don't do the job, cuz the pain is so severe!
So, no. That's not what I want. Not at all.
I go for my third manipulation today. I look forward to it!
I do hope you begin to feel better.... *hug*
And watch out for that yellow puddle! LOL!
Bam,
Middle management often gets put into these no-win situations. I'm sorry.
Always someone expecting you to make decisions, then questioning your decisions!
Good luck...
Shalom!

kk I think you stand a very good chance at winning that whineathon!!! ;-)
Ann...your grocery whine inspired me. I just got back from the store.
I had a list for my groceries....I checked it twice, just like Santa does....
but did I get everything on my list?? Nooooo0000!
Does anyone here remember the commercial where the little old lady hollers:
"Where's the beef?"
Yep...I forgot to buy my favorite: freshly ground beef with only 7% fat content.
I have the whole grain hamburger buns, tomatoes, and all the condiments...but sadly:
There will be no hamburgers here tonight.
(unless I cave in and drive back there for it...)

Teach, I have no health insurance.
Nothing. So I"m limited as to where I can go and what i can have done. My doctor's office has income eligible free services but no chiropractic services. If I could afford it I'd go to the chiropractor...
