Roller coaster
The situation w/my boss is back on the downhill slide. We had a meeting after school and I barely spoke but the one comment I did make was not understood by him, mostly b/c he interrupted me as I was making it and said that I was on the wrong track. I don’t normally make comments like this but I truly believe that if someone else had made the point that I made it would have been more well-received. Several of us believe that he has a plan he wants to enact, which is fine, he’s the boss. But he doesn’t want to say, “Here’s my plan, do it, b/c I’m the boss.” He wants it to look like a group effort and that it’s a concensus. It actually got quite uncomfortable a few times b/c at one point he and the AP (who I respect 100%) got into a little argument and several times there was dead silence b/c nobody wanted to make a comment. On a good note, though, I met my new students today and they seem to be really eager to learn. When I’m in my own classroom or hanging out w/my friends at school I love my job, it’s just these meetings that drive me crazy.
I got up this morning at 4:15 to do TJ Cardio Party since I knew I wouldn’t get a workout tonight. I still laugh at how uncoordinated I am that early in the morning. But at least I’m shaking my boo-tay and burning a few hundred calories.
Tomorrow is another day and it’s almost Friday!!!
Progress toward workout goal: 104/250
Can I just tell you… you getting up at 4:15 in the morning to work out is so inspiring!! You should be so proud of yourself!
Amen to what shallweshrink said: 4:15? Way to go, girl.
Praying your work situation will get better. Good for you for staying on track despite the stress!
Geez…I thought I was doing good to get my 15 minutes in at 6:00 a.m. You stole my thunder, girl!
Yeah, he knows what he wants. That’s probably why he doesn’t want anyone to disagree. He wants a bunch of “yes men” so he can say it went through the committee.
My old principal would actually be looking around the room when I was trying to talk to him. I always felt like waving my hand in his face and saying, “Helloooo!! Are you with me here?”
