I worked yesterday on my day off. Not at my craptastic job but as a sub aide in a elementary school. It was awesome. I guess I was approved for the sub list and they called Sunday night to ask if I could come in on Monday. I felt like I was gonna throw up. But now I did it and survived, not only survived but enjoyed myself. It was fantastic to be around rug rats again. I got to float to three different class rooms working with 4th and 1st graders. I even ate the school lunch and have come to the conclusion that I was an unique lunch lady. Why do lunch ladies have to be so gruff and mean? In this case she was also down right rude. Oh well that was the only ugly person in my path yesterday so I guess the rest of the experience cancels it out. So now I know I won't burst into flames if I sub so I think I will attempt to get on the sub list at our school. I figured I would try out of town just in case I sucked lol.

I went into work at my craptastic job today and had a heated talk with my boss shortly after arriving today. I lost it. Add hormones, exhaustion, stress and built up resentment and boooooommmmm. I told her that the job sucked and I did what I could to keep it together because I really need the job right now. She was complaining about me wearing my ipod while shredding and checking microfilm and I looked at her and couldn't believe she was saying what she was saying. "we need to look professional and when you have those things in your ears you have to take them out to talk to me and what if someone came in, fucking fat chance of that happening, and your phone rings and you don't hear it, duh can't hear it over the god damn shredder etc. I told her if i didn't have the music I would have quit a long time ago or shredded myself. I also reminded her I was told when I was hired that I could listen to music and take breaks when ever because of the type of work I do. You need to do that to keep what little sanity I have left.. OMG she is such a I don't know what. She also went off on the time thing again too and I wanted to slap her. She is the only other person in the office and she is beyond annal. She once again explained that I am a salary employee and some times you have to stay a little longer but you can't leave early to make up for it. I am suppose to work from 8 to 4. So I guess if a delivery comes after 4 I won't be there from now on. Sorry my hours are 8 to 4. I give more and work through lunch a lot of times so they are getting more than there freakin 8 hours usually. I am honest with her about the hours I work and was writing them on my time sheet till she got in trouble for me not working 8 to 4. She is a "christian woman" and does not like to lie. But didn't she cut her lunch short the other day so she could leave a half hour early? They don't come right out and ask so I told her she wasn't lieing anyway. So I guess from now on I will keep my time to myself and work my 8 hours and leave. I can see her point but don't seem to get the no gray area thing. Shit happens and we need to be flexible especially when kids are involved. God My head is gonna explode. I am a great employee with the work I do both quantity and quality. Calgon take me away!!!!!!!!!

The cold is finally here and I am a big baby. I have a hot shower with my name on it when I get back from picking up Sara from the pre meet spaghetti dinner. I took the day off tomorrow so I can go to sectional prelims for Sara's swim team. I need to rest up to cheer loud. Then Saturday is the big day. We will have a good cheering section this year with Gramma and papa, maria, Ian and myself. Go Mustangs!!

Out to brave the cold to pick up the swimmer.
