Curse you for being literate!

September 22, 2010

Today was a pretty good day considering that I got to spend the morning in pre-school and then we went outside because it was absolutely gorgeous weather today! When I took the kids in for lunch, Jan, our staff trainer, was in there and played a game with the kids and then showed me how to do the family-style dinner with the preschoolers since it is completely different than the serving style for the toddlers. While it's kind of frustrating because she makes me feel like I am completely uneducated despite the fact I'm almost over half way done with my masters, it is nice to have the extra hands.

Then got to take my lunch break where I, of course, e-mailed the boy and otherwise checked my e-mail and facebook stuff. 

Went back to work and, for the first hour I'm back from lunch, the kids sleep, so I decided to bring a book with me to read. I didn't think it would be a problem considering I had gotten the idea from seeing another staff member read a personal book the day before. However, of course, because Jo hates me, she came in and asked if I was reading a book for pleasure. She then brusquely told me that that wasn't allowed and, when I asked if I could do CA homework since everyone else studies their modules for work during that time, she grudgingly said, "Yes." She then asked if Yana left me anything to do, which I told her no.. I mean, if she had, doesn't she know I'd be doing it. She then had me clean the top of the shelves, which I did, but left shortly after to give Tasha her break. I will be doing homework during that time from now on. Screw being their slave on top of being free labor. So frustrating! Especially considering that I didn't get yelled at on the other days where I sat there for an hour and stared off into space, but the second I crack a book, BAM!

I then went to give Tasha her hour of study time and she came back twenty minutes late, which meant that I then had to go back to the preschool room twenty minutes later to give her her fifteen minute break, which, not breaking the pattern, she came back another 20 minutes late for her break. So frustrating that I arrive before I am supposed to be there and leave right on the dot and people like that can abuse their breaks and not get yelled at. Don't know what I ever did to piss Jo off so much, but I cannot wait to be done with this internship and back with Darrick, my family and my friends. *Sigh* Eleven weeks and counting...

After work, I came home and Erin and I went to our community pod dinner, which was breakfast for dinner themed. Arriving early, we were supposed to be the first in line, but a bunch of people cut us off and then we ended up sitting across from Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Drunk, these two girls who thought they were so hardcore, but just came across like they were mentally deranged. Needless to say, the food was good (of course, anything is goo when you don't have to cook it), but the conversation was a little awkward. Left dinner and went and talked to Darrick for 40 minutes.

Came home and cleaned up our apartment for our fire inspection tomorrow and christened the new vacuum that they bought us, which works, but gives you quite the work out to use. Erin and I then watched a few episodes of How I Met Your Mother and watched our finalized version of Go the Distance, our music video for Darrick and Paul!!!

Things I learned today:

1. Reading for pleasure is not allowed at work, but sitting on your butt doing nothing is. Perfect logic. Absolutely flawless.
