I'll be a reference if needed, ita. After all, I'm a name and local number.

The fucking nurse was late yesterday and the school bus had to circle back to drop off Grace on a second attempt. They tried TWICE today but the nurse was late AGAIN. And so they took her back to the school. We got a call from the principal who said if it happened again, Grace would be kicked out of the summer program.

Um.

Time to fire the nurse. I'm beyond mad (let's not address the fact that she's been coming at 1 and leaving at 8 for her "8 hours" because her nonsummer hours are usually 12-8.

I'm so angry. I just can't be rational.

Ooo I'd be pissed, Kat. She's over an hour late for work?

That's terrible Kat.

I'm so angry. I just can't be rational.

Just run yourself through ToneCheck(tm).

Late when she knows Grace's school is trying to drop her off? That's fucking out there. Bad enough anyway, but under those circumstances? Jesus.

Punishingly Intricate

What Brenda said. Sorry you have to deal with that.

It just started raining like CRAZY here. REALLY hoping it doesn't result in more basement flooding. Only one of the 4 plumbers we called after last week's flooding have even called back. WTF?

I'm glad i'm working at home though. I'd be driving home in that mess.

Yes, I am at work, waiting for it to let up a bit, since my umbrellas are not in the building with me. We're under a tornado warning too.

Kat, that's just not acceptable.

So we interview a new nurse tomorrow. A male nurse which I am fine with. She has been later and later though I had never observed it as such. But her start time is noon and Grace's bus dropoff is 1.

So she's supposed to be there at 12, Grace is dropped off at 1:00 and she's not there for that? Totally unacceptable.
