2 Weeks

I am sort of a little bit looking forward to the next two weeks at work. As much as possible, anyway.

Next week Maryam's going on vacation. I was supposed to be, because James is going on a 4 day/night Coast trip with school. I tried and tried to get in to be a parent that gets to go. Unfortunately, too many parents wanted to go, so I do not get to. I didn't "win" the lottery that they pretended to draw from. The parents who don't work and are able to help in class all year get to go.

Now.
I can understand this. I really can. I used to BE that parent. However, I also knew the parents that worked COULDN'T go every day. This is why you should try to include them on trips like THIS. I had to cancel my PTO and this made it possible for Maryam to go someplace "nice". (That means anywhere but work)

So I couldn't go. And I am worried SICK about him.
He's excited to go. But what if.......

Anyway, so the next week I get to cover for Maryam. I like covering for other people. I normally create worksheets which is just data entry, but I AM trained to do all other kinds of wonderfully delightful stuff, so it's cool when I get to do something different. It really is.

The week after that is when I cover for (we will call her..) "Sheri". Sheri does the best wonderfully delightful stuff because when you do her job, you're so busy, you don't realize it's already time to go home. WOW.

The thing about it though, it this. Sheri is a stress case. Sheri thinks she has to "retrain" me on everything she does EVERY single time she goes away.

She's been sick, and I get on just fine.

I'm trying to be patient with all the retraining, but to be honest, it's not rocket science, and I have it all down.

ALL of it.

So she keeps coming over and bugging me all day and making me walk around with her and do stupid crap that I already know how to do. I even caught HER making a big mistake.

I wanna hide from her today. I don't want to see her any more. And I'll be stuck here til 4!

I feel SO sorry for myself today.

SIGH.
