t breathe

Okay, trying to bring it down a notch today. Thanks to my crazy brain chemistry (anxious much?), I am on cycle day 41 and I really need it to end for everyone's sake. I allowed myself a vanilla latte (yum!) and had an Odwalla banana nut bar for b'fast.

Crappity. Just hung up on my mom. Today is the House Inspection and Termite Inspection. She is stressing cause the house still has boxes and stuff everywhere and she can't find the broom. I'm at work. I have no idea where the broom is. The kids didn't poop-scoop. Again, I'm at work - can't help from here. Yes, they should have done it. But again, I'm at work.

Yesterday was worse - imagine similar and yet I was working from home with a sick boy. Still WORKING.

Damn I want a drink - oh, but wait - I'M AT WORK.

Asshat boss has passive aggressively not approved my travel for a conference in San Diego. Yes, it's in San Diego, and it's a nice place to be -- that's why they hold conferences in nice places-- but, I need to go both for the information and the fact that YOU GAVE ME A MOTHERFUCKING TWO OUT OF FOUR ON MY EVALUATION LAST YEAR FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Do not make suggestions about the so-called "Leadership Academy" on campus, whose current offerings are: Public speaking (like I need that), Investment strategies (what does that have to do with my job?), Stress management (not killing you?), Improving your Operational Processes. Are you kidding me?

And the bullshit about the Center for Teaching and Learning is just that - bullshit. Your little chuckle and "maybe you'll teach someday" was condescending and annoying. Not to mention that I HAVE TAUGHT AT THE LAW SCHOOL LEVEL, YOU SMARMY SON OF A BITCH. It has nothing to do with my current job, and therefore is not helpful for professional development. Or is that not a requirement? ASSHAT!!!!

umm, sorry about the asscaps, but I'm kind of livid. If you couldn't tell.

ugh what a bad week for bosses. Fuck them all up their stupid asses.

Vortex - your boss is wishing to join the buffista fuckwadboss parade?

::flips off and rickrolls Vortex's boss::

farts in general direction of all the AsshatBuffistaBosses

I made the mistake of thinking I could just be friendly and entertaining, rather than starting out by being a hardass bitch and then dialling it down... It was a pretty good learning experience for me, but it still makes me wince, thinking back on it.

Sounds like my best friend from high school, whose first out-of-college job involved teaching science to 7th graders. He decided to be easygoing, they jumped all over him. He survived the year, then went for a master's in library science.

And I'm selfishly pissed at Vortex's boss because damn, Vortex in California not happening. >(

Cue end of the semester panic from my tutoring students. It's actually a little early this semester. YAY! I'm so thankful my thesis is done so I don't have to worry about that!

Stephanie, I liked Amy's idea for the hair. I think if you lose a couple inches and get some layers, it'll look fab.

Bitch Bosses are really bad this week, aren't they? Good grief!
