Wow
I thought I'd pound this entry out now before the feeling evaporates.
It was a long day in School Valley today. Lesson of the Day: in hindsight, skipping lunch may not have been the best idea... seemed ok at the time. Some days I can make it just fine, but today my body was starting to complain and my stomach was making odd noises which didn't go away with the usual tricks. By the end of the day, I forced myself to go home early so I can recover. Early meaning close to 6.
These were one of those days when I'm not as pumped as I make myself out to be on this site. Nevertheless, it was not altogether a bad day. There are some people who really make my day, and as long as they're there, I am happy. These people happen to be my students, so I'm assuming I'm set for the rest of the school year.
With that said, I need a vacation. I haven't had a decent break since... well, since I started. There were "vacations" but these were spent cleaning house, unpacking, or going to conferences. I need to leave this State. Soon. Not that I don't like this place.
But as I left, I realized I was muttering to myself (which unfortunately is not altogether unusual.) The unusual part was what I was muttering. And unfortunately, it was audible enough to hear. Which is ok since I pretty much let it all hang out. Sometimes it helps to mutter. I'm setting up a self-imposed audit on myself with the deadline being Monday morning (I'm not crazy; this audit coincides with a visit from some very important people), and today all the network printers were down. My labels were sticking in the machines. I was experiencing technical difficulties left and right. My students were upset about an administrative decision and I was picking up the pieces while defending, upholding, and trying to get them to understand the school. That part was pretty exhausting, but I think I managed cleanup ok.
But yeah. Today was tough. But not tough enough. Boo-yah. Bring it on, tough days, bring it on... ahem. I hope that wasn't too loud.

praying for you jen!
I got to this late (busy week) but I soooooo hear what you are saying....This past week was unbelievable and I am taking a mandatory Friday night off and hopefully as much of Saturday as I can manage.....I hope your technical problems get solved, you do know it's a law of physics that the more important the stuff, the more likely the technology will fail?
