Case of the "Mondays"
So anyone seen that movie Office Space when in the beginning they talk about having a case of the "Mondays." Well as dumb as that sounds I think that today was one of those days for me. First of all, Tim switched shifts so he isn't getting up with me anymore. He is working splits which is like 1p-9p. It kinda sucks but it is only for a short while I hope. So I get up, get ready to go, everything goes well, etc. until I get to school. I walk into the office and I am greeted by the other 2 teachers that I work with, no biggie right. So we are sitting there talking and all of a sudden a bird comes hopping in the office. I almost shit my pants, it scared me to death and I immediately started to move, very quickly I might add. The bird then flies up in the rafters and Jon decided to throw a basketball at it in the direction of his computer. The ball misses the bird and bounces off his desk hitting his printer and landing in the corner behind his desk. We must have scared the poor thing to death as it flew away. So then I'm sitting there doing what I do every Monday morning (get the softball scores off the internet for the DoDDES-E schools) and that damn bird comes hopping in again. He must have been hungry just looking for food. It scared me again but this time I started yelling for one of the students to come and open a door so that I can flush the bird out, it didn't work the bird flew up into the rafters again and then Jon came in the off again. He decided to throw a nerf ball instead of a basketball but this time he hit the bird and at the same time I am answering the phone as the bird is flying towards my head. I scream and start waving the phone around trying to get the bird away from me. The bird flies out of the office and Jon is standing there with his hands on his hips with this shit-eating grin on his face and says to me, "What the hell are you screaming for?" Mind you he is smiling the whole time. I told him that the bird was flapping near my head, he just smiled, laughed at me and went down to class. We did eventually get the bird out. He ended up in the boys locker room and Jon went and put Captain Crunch cereal down with some grapes because we figured the poor thing was hungry. Then I had a student lie to me. Well I got kinda worked up about that. To make a long story short there are some students who think they can do what ever the hell they want and they can especially do what they want when their mother is a teacher at the school. No offense to the cheerleaders but you know the typical stereotype that cheerleaders have well these girls play right into it. So I went and tracked her down and then I went and told Jon about it and he says, "Gee Andi, you are just having a day. Screaming at birds getting worked up at nothing for students lying." I guess I am having a day. Anyways, Tim may be going to the desert. We will find out on Friday what the verdict is, it'll be another 4 months just like last time. The money is always nice when he is gone but he'll be gone for the holidays, but I have the dogs and the neighbors. Not sure I'll do a tree if he is gone, well maybe a small tree or something. Last year we had to cut the tree I think 4 times before it would fit into the house. I think it was the biggest Xmas tree we have every gotten. Anyways, until something else is interesting....

Holy crap how many more times is he going to have to go to the desert? To answer your question that you left on my blog, no I did not get anything accomplished with cleaning the table to even remotely start a puzzle. One day it will happen.
