Well, maybe not everyone. But stupid people. People like the *real* yearbook teacher whose job I'm sort of doing since she's on maternity leave. Problem is, she either needs to do the damn job herself or let me do it. Right now she keeps sticking her nose into things when it is convenient for her. I'm the "real" teacher when she needs me to do the dirty work but she's the teacher the rest of the time. Problem is, I'm the one in the classroom. Either let me teach the damn class or let me be a babysitter. I'm not getting paid enough extra to take this shit.
I hate parents too. They suck. I get a message from a parent who is bitching about the school newspaper. She is pissed at the fact that the cross country team didn't get enough of a mention on the sports page b/c they did well at States. She is pissed because the team's name wasn't bolded and the other teams' names were. She told me how to do my job and said "maybe your student reporters need to be better at what they do."
Back off, bitch. My kids are doing pretty damn well. And you know what? We're an 8 page newspaper. We come out once a month if we're lucky. It takes them a MONTH to put together a paper because they (oh my god) AREN'T PROFESSIONALS. OMG. OMG.
I was so pissed. I didn't call her back because I knew if I did I'd say something that would make the situation worse. This job would be great if it weren't for some of the parents.
Grr. In a pissy mood now...I know I should just blow it off, but I can't. I need to work on that.
I want it to be the weekend. NOW. I don't want to take this fucking MTTC test on Saturday. I don't want to get up at 5am tomorrow. I don't want it to be so bloody cold. I don't want to teach/babysit yearbook anymore.
I'm so goddamn whiny right now I irritate even myself. Sorry for my foul mouth and pissy attitude.... feel free to ignore me.
Listening to: Placebo, Meds (though I think I'll switch it to something more pissed off. Maybe some From First to Last...)

Hear hear! I feel you on the parents thing (I had my own nasty email waiting for me this morning). You know what I do that helps me? I write an email with all the things I really WANT to say (in Word so that there's no chance I'll accidentally send it) and then it's all off my chest. I can then talk to the parent civilly having "said" all the things I really wanted to say to them in the faux email.
Sucks about the yearbook teacher. When is her maternity leave over? Hopefully soon!
ROAR!!!! HULK SMASH! Let me ask you this - is this important? In 10 years, will any of this matter? Can you afford to let this roll off your back and ignore it? If its truly important, then stand up for yourself and do what you need to do. If not, then stop stressing and pick your battles carefully (as my dad always told me). Oooh - and if you're looking for a way to relax - try getting a hot tub for an hour at Oasis Pool and Spa - SOOOOOO relaxing. http://www.oasishottubs.com/
No seriously - Jessica and I have a membership there (pays for itself after 4 visits). We went today - you come away sooooo relaxed its silly.
