Worst fucking week EVER and it's only Tuesday. Luckily, I think co-workers have taken more damage than me, but I did start putting out emails to other districts.

So, I have Spring Break from the 15th to the 22nd. Is anyone in CA or AZ going to be around because I so want to get out of here for a couple of days.

Oh, hon. I am so sorry to hear that things are so terrible. I am holding good thoughts for you.

Thanks. I just don't know if I want to stick around for more ugliness, but like I said, I think they took more damage than I did.

Come to ohio, man....

I may lose my job tomorrow, and I'm still not sure whether that is a good or bad thing. Sam Adams is currently helping me cope, and I'm contemplating calling in sick tomorrow to avoid the company wide-we've-been-sold meeting drama....

what are the symptoms for cholera, again?

I really should stop joking about "Slaves have to be sold" since that is kinda what has happened here.....

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Man... we so need a transporter so that I could do that Ohio thing and we could Sam Adams together... although I'm more into wine or mixed drinks if that's okay with you. Oh, and...

Time to abandon ship? Sorry to hear of the troubles, whatever they are.

It might be... we'll see. And we'll see if the other districts can offer me a package that makes it worth my while to jump ship.

[ladysybylgrey.livejournal.com]

sorry, wrong end of the state... (up in S. Oregon), but I know the feeling, my month has been like that...

But hey, spring break!

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I know.... I need spring break so bad this year. So very, very bad!!

[thismaz.livejournal.com]

I guess across the Atlantic is too far to come for a couple of days? Yeah, *g*
Sending you cheerful, strengthening vibes.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I think that's a little far, but good vibes are always appreciated!

[missus-grace.livejournal.com]

Don't you hate weeks that suck by Tuesday? Are the kids getting Spring Break fever?

I need a break from my own children as well. Can I come with you?

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I truly do. And my colleagues always drive me far more nuts than the kids. I hate work-drama!

[doingsoso.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry to hear you had a sucky week. I'm way down south though, LOL.

Spring Break, yay! You can relax, do some fun stuff, and clear your head a bit. You'll be ready for the next round and come out fighting! Heh:)

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I need to get a way, so totally need to! I'm looking forward to getting away.

[luna-61.livejournal.com]

If you don't mind the drive you can come to my place.
The spare room is available. : ) The bed is nice and comfy.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

If you have a free day or two, I might do that.

[sparrowhawk17.livejournal.com]

::hugs:: Weeks like that suck beyond telling. I hope things start getting better.

I'm stuck in southern Georgia, wish I could get out of town with you.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

They've gone from horrendously venomous to horrendously uncomfortable. Is that improvement?

[shakatany.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear you're having a lousy week - hopefully it won't get any worse. Wish I could offer you some hospitality but I'm clear across the country and have absolutely no room *sigh*

May you have a nice worry free spring break. I'm also looking forward to spring though not the "spring ahead" that will happen this weekend - I don't want to lose my hour of sleep.

Hugs

It seems to be settling down into mildly bitchy, which is better than explosively bitchy! And I don't have to worry about that silly spring forward/fall back crap. We are just always what we are.

[texanfan.livejournal.com]

Don't know what to do but hand out virtual hugs.
((((HUGS))))

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Awwwww. Thank you.

[raissad.livejournal.com]

What's wrong? Call me. I can rearrange my schedule for a get together during spring break.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

You're back in town?? Work is just being bitchy, but give me a call.

[nulinka.livejournal.com]

*hugs*
on the other side, it's the potencial to get better :>

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I just hope it gets better fast because I"m stressed to the gills and ready to snap.

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Hey, Lit. Just checking if you got my email. I asked if the 22nd was okay for you to do your subject on shared_wisdom. Our first speaker is going to open the community this sunday. Can you confirm with me? We are trying to nail down our third speaker now for April. :P

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. I've just been running on fumes and caffeine and stress lately. That's fine and I'm looking forward to discussing something positive.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

I so need to just walk away from this before I totally rip someone... except I kinda did. And part of me feels bad because I know she started shit because she wanted people to stroke and soothe and placate her... she's so sub, but unwilling to say she is, and so it comes out in these weird-ass behaviors. And if she had come to be saying she was feeling hurt, I would done my best to soothe things. But instead she got passive aggressive, and bitchy, and weird, and I got truly snappy right back. Truly snappy.

Sucky week

[cruhl.livejournal.com]

I love being a teacher but it does seem we have more than our share of crappy weeks- usually because of a coworker, district admin crap, or some parent who needs medication or therapy to get a clue. Thank God for spring break! Hope you are feeling better. Hang in there and remember, no matter what the provocation - it's not worth going to jail! (Sorry- it's my favorite way to maintain professionalism when I really want to let someone have it.)

Re: Sucky week

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much. Parents who need medication are old hat, but some days the coworkers are more than I can take, you know. I work with someone for eleven years, and because I'm convenient, her and her friend do something totally shitty. Gotta love it.

[kaydee23.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you're having a rough week. I wish I could help. (((hugs)))

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

It does help being able to vent because I sure can't at vent at work without making things worse.

LA do?

[darkladyz.livejournal.com]

LA do?

I'm still teaching until a week later - but I understand the emotion.

Re: LA do?

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

You're in LA? Maybe if I visit Luna, we can meet for dinner or something.

[joyleaf41.livejournal.com]

Want to visit Lake Havasu? I would be glad to be your host and guide. I am not working these days and I am not sure when the Hubby is doing Spring Bbreak but since he works for the college, when they have off he usually has a few days off too. We will have hordes of breakers most likely but it is a big lake and we can borrow a boat or take the four wheel out into the desert. And Daniel won't even find himself asking you what he could have said to keep you from touching the the teddy bear cholla. Something folks from out of state persistent in doing.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

You know, I would love to if you have the time. I didn't realize we were neighbors... at least in the global sense of the world. And NO... will not touch teddy bear cholla. That shit is worse than the traditional catcus spine. We were walking in the desert, and Mom got one on her shirt, and I swear we were finding those fine little annoying spines in her for the next week. But that sounds like a blast.

[smwright.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I hope it either gets better or you do get that better offer.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

It seems like others understand what really happened, so it's down from shitty to just uncomfortable. How have you been doing lately??

[sasha-anu.livejournal.com]

*huggs*

Hope things are going better now.

[lit-gal.livejournal.com]

Things are... awkward
