Okay, barring reports with due dates and the first week of school, this is the week I cannot miss any time. With all the trainings this week (surely I’ve kvetched myself blue about them? Monday the office manager, leaving us at 2/3 strength or worse, the same Tuesday, Wednesday any of us, and Thursday ALL of us, with thirty substitute teachers to deal with when we aren’t training. I HAVE to have complained about this already!)
Anyway. With all the trainings this week, I cannot miss any time. I can’t. That would leave our three-person-and-we’re-overwhelmed office at one person.
So naturally I’m sick. Really sick, fall over with a loud thud when I get home, sick. Is it just me the galaxy is out to get? Or is there a group I can join so I don’t feel so downtrodden? Persecuted Individuals Needing Escape, maybe? (Pining for the sight of a pine tree, or any tree, really, not surrounded by asphalt.)
If my head gets any more stuffed, it is going to collapse into a singularity and pull the entire contents of my office in. Not a bad thing, in itself, but that much food will cause it to grow, and then it’s bye-bye planet.
