prettygoodyearSo...today we FINALLY had a real Spring day with sunshine and nice temperatures. It was warm and just wonderful! Was waiting for this for too long!
Then...work...yesterday they had 4 people coming over who applied for the job. They picked the girl that can only just start on April 19th. My boss walked up to me this afternoon, casually, asking me if I had heard the news. And then he told me, how happy they were the found someone etc..."So...yeah...April 19th, okay?"
And I just stood there, kept my mouth shut for a bit, trying to think what I'd do or say. And then I just blurted out how I was not okay with it. Told him he should have never asked me anything in the first place, if all I could answer was a "yes" anyway. That it made me feel extremely unimportant and ignored. He didn't understand and it took me a good 5 minutes to get through to him. He still couldn't explain to me why I was the only one who could do this. He tried, but they were all lame answers. Eventually he told me that I pretty much was the only one of our team who could do this. Seriously? There work like 20 people in this school, and they all actually suck at their job? You're really just saying that? He also said he couldn't even do it! WTF? Really now? Lame, lame excuses!
I've got so much on them now though, they owe me SO much this time! They now know they can't actually just mess with me, that I will from now on speak my mind.
Luckily, another colleague overheard my conversation with my boss and was totally on my side. She also said "If you're asking something from someone, you need to prepared to get a no for an answer and deal with it".
To top it all, this other colleague, who has no class to teach but apparently seems to have this other, extremely important function, was bitchy about my back today as well.
School photos were taken, and since I know teach 4(!) different classes, they all asked me to take a group photo with them. So he to take over my class for like 20 minutes or so. He told this other colleague he didn't understand why all that was necessary, was bitchy towards the kids etc...Seriously....you have to teach 20 minutes and you bitch about it? I'll confront him with it tomorrow.
So...basically it's another whole month I'll have to do this crap shit. Which means a whole month full of nights with fucked up sleep, stress etc...
What I don't understand is...how can you just feel good about yourself knowing that someone is not doing too well. How can you be so ignorant about it? Never a "gosh, so sorry to hear this, is there anything I can do to make it at least a little better for you?". But only a "deal with it" answer. I just don't get it. But boy does everyone owe me BIG time this time. And never EVER again this crazy stuff.
