Cause and Effect

Well, crud! I'm too tired for more than a mini-post tonight. I didn't get much sleep last night 'cause I was too wound up after work. This is a problem with working at night. Yesterday, after classes ended, I had to have a confrontation with one of the teachers on my staff - she had promised to cover a shift for another teacher, then at the last minute said she didn't want to do it after all. I had to tell her to work the shift or have a reprimand put in her file. She didn't like either of those choices, I guess, judging from the fact that she had a cow (like I knew she would), and stomped out with her nose in the air (like I knew she would), saying she would be discussing this with the school's executive director (like I...well, you get the idea...). That's fine. I know what the executive director will say if she goes to complain; but last night it meant that I wasn't able to leave the office until 11:00, 'cause I had to write an incident report, document everything, e-mail the executive director, etc...

This caused me to get home late, feeling tense.


Which caused me to take a spoon and eat Pomegranate Chip Hagen Daazs (How do you SPELL that?!? It looks wrong. Well, you know what I mean) right from the container.


Which caused me to have weird dreams.


Supervising people can really be a pain in the ass sometimes.



At least last night I wasn't scared, alone in the house. I was too pissed off. Tonight is another story, though. Earlier, while I was visiting all my blog-buddies' blogs, I was distracted (although, when the intro to the music on CinniBonBon's blog came on, I jumped! "What the F-?"), but now I'm starting to imagine things again. I"d better get my butt into bed.

Good God, Academic Management sucks, don't it??

Sleep tight! Tomorrow (or today in my time zone?) is the weekend!

Oh dear one of those days. Hope you are feeling better Kate.

I can see how the pissed off mood stopped the house from being scary!
You can't have everything, can you?!

Hope you're having a better day today.

I was sleepily catching up on blogs this morning when I clicked on one who is a country western fan and good god...suddenly the office was filled to the brim with this twanging music that nearly made me wet my pants.

I need to remember to keep that speaker turned DOWN...

And yes, I do have a real blog stalker. A woman who hates me, hates my life style and hates everything about my life, yet reads every single one of my posts and then sends me vicious little comments on my hellbound self.

Well, I guess pissed off Thursday night meant the boogie man stayed his ass in his proper shadow for fear of having his ass kicked!! Hope your weekend was good, and that Simon made it home safely.

Pomegranate chip ice cream? Tell me more.

Kate said...

Jess- At first, I thought it sounded a little gross. But it is, in fact, heavenly: pink, pomegrenate ice cream with dark chocolate chips.
