Seriously Sarcastic!

October 8, 2010

Spent the morning working with Yailyn (I love my life!) and she asked me if I could do diapers this morning. So close to telling her off because she always just does the diapers, so she doesn't have to control the kids, I told her, with my hands already in the gloves when she asked, that I was. Then she decided to do lunch, which, low and behold, I actually had the diapers done for (amazing how that works!) and Jan came in while I was laying out the mats for nap time. Yailyn had told some of the kids to wash their hands and so Jan came in and yelled at me for not helping the kids wash their hands and putting out mats instead. I interrupted her, sick of how they never assess a situation before they yell, and told her that all of the hands had already been washed because I just finished changing their diapers. She then shut up and went and watched Yailyn do lunch. Doing it all wrong, Jan started asking Yailyn questions and, not taking any of the blame herself, said that it was her first time doing it. Umm. That's because you don't do anything, so the only way it gets done is if I do it. I was so pissed that I just stuck to finishing the mats slowly until Jan left. 

Went to lunch and got my hour of internet time.

Went back to work and had to give Ashley yet another hour to lesson plan even though she had her hour for the week yesterday. Would be nice if Erin and I got an hour a week outside of the rooms like every other staff member gets to do homework, but why would they ever do that for us? Anyway, went back in the room with Yana, went outside and then got pulled out again to give Ashley another forty minutes to type up her lesson plans. Seriously ridiculous. While I was working in the preschool room, Jan came in to give us the new schedule for next week, which has me in the toddler room with 6 two year olds by myself. Seeing I was a little upset about it, she told me to call her for help if I needed it because she'd support me. Umm. No you wont because every time I call, I get rudely told, "No," and I end up figuring it out on my own. But, then I also get yelled at for not asking, so I seriously can't win. Grrrr... (Yes, I resort to caveman sounds when I can't vent my frustrations through words!) 

Went to internet for like five hours after work to talk to Darrick and Erin and I got a hot dog, chips and a soda for $2.50. Came home and vented for two hours about the new schedule and the injustices of work and then I was half in dreamland, having a semi-conscious conversation with Erin when she asked soemthing about weekends. I said, "Those are nice." Long pause. "It's like looking through a telescope with nothing there." Very pregnant pause. "That didn't make any sense." Totally jolted myself awake with that one, but Erin and I got a good laugh out of it.

Things I learned today:

1. Weekends are a lot like looking through telescopes with nothing there??

2. Be gratetful for what you have because it can always get worse!

3. Hot dogs, chips and a pop is a good deal for $2.50. 

4. Having the hook up at the coffee shop is nice! Get to watch movies after they've already been shown in a smaller venue by ourselves. NICE! 

5. Dove chocolate plagues my existence with fitting quotations for the frustrations of Camp Adventure! I could do without the irony, thanks.
