The Last few weeks have been a blur. I've been a busy little bee. We've had some crazy things that have happened at work, least of which is my broken hand. For any that are wondering, luckily I don't need a cast the break was very minimal, however the pain hasn't gotten any better, and now they are afraid something is wrong with my tendon, so I need to go in for an MRI. Such is life, but I digress. On 2 separate occasions we've needed to call the paramedics and have 2 different teachers taken to the hospital, needless to say I've been doing a lot of covering of shifts, and working extra hours, which I'm more than willing to do considering these instructors don't just have a case of the sniffles. Here's where my rant comes in. It seems there are only a few teachers that are willing to help carry the weight, and some are bugged when they are asked to work even 5 more hours a week, bringing their total hours to a whopping 40 hours. (That's not even overtime, right?) So what is their excuse? "I have a family....It's easy for Jeannine to work extra, she doesn't have a family." So my question is because I don't have a husband, boyfriend or children does that make my life insignificant? Maybe I wouldn't be upset if I was only working a few hours extra, but 1: I'm doing a good 10 hours overtime, and 2: These instructors need coverage. It's literally a life and death situation.... Hello....Paramedics....hospital. (Oh and P.S. I have a family, what do you think I was created in a petri dish? Or maybe I'm a robot?) Why can't people help a little? These same people get angry when people won't cover for them because they "aren't feeling well." Needless to say sleep for me has been futile. It's hard to get off work at 10:30 and turn around and go to work at 8:00 a.m. If anyone knows me well, they know that I'm a cranky girl in the morning. Sleep doesn't come easy for me in the first place and knowing I have to be to work early, when I get off work late, makes it hard to sleep. However there is an AWESOME silver lining. Tomorrow I don't have to be to work until 4:30. That means I can sleep in a little, do some much overdue laundry, and, run some long overdue errands. First on my To-do list....face the music, and head back to weight watchers. It's going to be a sad day tomorrow, but I'm ready for that commitment again. Enough of this rant, the teachers will be back tomorrow, and maybe we should consider blessing our building, since I'm starting to wonder if it was built on an Indian burial ground. :) Forgive my brief negativity. Next blog it's going to be about our awesome design team try-outs.

I have always been chosen to work late or on the weekends or whatever else they need since I am single with no children. I know exactly where you are coming from Lady! Can I get an Amen?
I remember us having this same problem at Command it must be a universal problem. I hope things get better.
