Mama said there'll be days like this

Wanna hear about the craziest day of my young teaching career (or the most ridiculous of my life)? Here's how it went down:

1. No planning period--parent conferences and people trying to help consumed this precious time

2. Short lunch--people trying to help, again

3. Got the info. to FINALLY log on to my school computer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

4. I tried the login info, only to find that my computer is inoperable. They "hope to have someone out next week" (it's a huge freakin deal to not have a computer).

5. Not logging on caused me to have a crying breakdown in the principal's office. He wasn't in there, but another teacher was. She was nice and helped me.

6. I jammed the laminating machine and must go confess first thing in the morning.

7. While I was jamming the laminator, the air conditioner in my room broke (we have no central air--only the loudest window units you've ever heard). It no longer blows ANY air---hot or cold. I'll bring that news to the office along with the laminator info. They're gonna love me.

8. To recover lost time from the numerous catastrophes of the day, I stayed until 8:00 at school. Boooooo.

9. I was PUMPED about cooking some ground beef I have to make nachos. However, I arrived at home to find a notes posted everywhere (in and out of my apartment) saying not to use my kitchen sink or dishwasher. Couldn't cook that meat (that expires tomorrow). Crap.

10. I went to Burger King to get dinner (at 9:00pm). They messed up my order. At least it didn't involve mustard or pickles. Not really that significant, but really a fitting end to my day.

After all of that ridiculousness, I am now sitting here in my dark, dishwasher-less apartment eating Oreos and watching the Dundee Office episode....my fave. I will go to bed ASAP, because I have simply given up on today. Not to mention I'm afraid that something else catastrophic might happen.

nite.
