Good Friday is Work Holiday, but we have tons on the books to ship. Kinda typical, drivers and hourly workers are used to this on Holidays, they get both Holiday pay and their hourly wages when they have to work. I, however, am salaried non-exempt and have previously been told to stay home. Unlike salaried exempt, I would be eligible for both Holiday pay and time and a half if I work (I think).
I could really use a day off when mac is in school, but unclear what new boss will decide.
FTR, last night's redo of the missing homework was a semi-disaster. It got done, but it was the lowest level of done possible. Misspellings, wrong capitalizations, missing punctuation, not answering the full question - lazy lazy lazy, so I marked up the questions sheet with what needed to be changed and things went downhill from there. I am shocked that I only raised my voice once and I am proud of mac that he did not try to use any electronics in defiance, but MAN. LONG slog this will be. Zero drive to do good work.
Text just sent to my son - "When you mom tells you not to take the horse's head to school and you do anyway - posting a picture online isn't the smartest move."
I'm having flashbacks to both the Godfather and Dogs in Elk...
Oh kids.
I was going to say something about being glad we didn't have social media when I was young, but then remembered my bro skipping school and going to the movies, and then watching tv in my mom's room and leaving the ticket stub lying on the bed. Stupid finds a way.

This needs to be embroidered into pretty samplers.
His response "But I asked security and the principal before I wore it and they all said I'd be in trouble if I didn't".
But kid, I told you NOT TO TAKE IT in the first place.
(It is hat day at school but this is a mask, not a hat).
Not sure I'll have free time, Connie, but if I do I'll let you know since I'll be in your area.
What part of Utah will you be in?
ION, I dreamed a hurricane hit the town I lived in. For some reason, Polter lived in the basement of my house. When I went to check the damages--moderate but lots of water, and I had to salvage books and papers--Sunil and his mom were in the lower floor doing the same. Sunil, is your mother shorter than you, or was I just inputting Random Indian Lady for the part?

mac's response for not correcting the homework as he was instructed while I was at choir, "But the teacher says we don't have to (Blah blah blah stuff I couldn't hear due to blood rising)"
OF COURSE my response was " BUT I told you to due it, and right now, we are not at school and I am the one who decides what gets done."
MY parents were there for that exchange and I am sure there was a bit of, OMG never thought we hear all that from her. Still, they had it easy peasy lemon squeezy with me as a student.
