Work...
Two years ago was a particularly bad time for me at Wedgwood, or rather... i wasn't at Wedgwood at all for a bit. It sucked. So last Thursday a kid spat on me several times. Gross. Today the same kid threw water on me. Not so gross, unless fluoridated city water grosses you out. The kid in question is on the fast track out'o'here, which is nice, but it's interesting to be experiencing personal attacks again. I'm happy to say that i'm genuinely dealing well with this. More stressful is the fact that EVERYTHING is more expensive now, and we're still getting paid the same.There's lots of differences making work more tolerable now. It's not as relentlessly horrible. There's some clear solutions. There's a more consistent and supportive team at the boy's unit. And i totally don't feel like i'm the only one holding kids accountable. Not that i was, but sometimes that's how it felt.
And another awesome stress free area: our cars are AWESOME. Totally kick butt. Not a single problem or hint of problem from either of them. Except the bald and wobbly tires on the minivan. And the AC doesn't work. Besides, that, totally perfect. Thank you, God!!!
Hmmm… maybe we need to institute an “all fluids restriction.” That’ll teach ‘em!
