Warning: Work vent in progress..

I work for a private Christian school and daycare. I happen to work for the daycare side, although the school and daycare are in the same building and pretty much under the same umbrella of leadership.

This really irks me.. we've had some bad weather this year.. worse then usual but not as bad as those north of us. But there have been days where it has gotten SO BAD that the administration has decided it was unsafe for the children and teachers.. and they closed the school. HOWEVER, it is NOT considered unsafe for the CHILDCARE and we are expected to come in.

So, here are some examples of things that happen:
Numerous childcare staff call in and those of us who do show up are overwhelmed and over ratio, causing chaos and stress. Even if numbers are way down, if you have more children then allowed per staff it is not only dangerous and stressful, pretty sure it is against state and federal regulations.

Staff spin on the road and hit stop signs, staff slide off the road and into ditches, staff who live further out end up taking 3x as long to get there..

Staff SLIP AND FALL trying to dig out there cars or walk through the parking lot.

During the negative temperatures, staff have gotten slightly frost bit.. It was -4 one morning with a wind chill of -19 and even though I had the heat full blast and my son bundled within an inch of his life.. he screamed the entire time because it was SO COLD.

Yep.. roads are dangerous. Temps are below freezing. Much too unsafe for every school and several other day cares in the county.. but MY JOB says we are STAYING OPEN!

And the thing that KILLS me.. is that the Director who makes this decision lives not even 4 miles from the building and when we were way short staffed and stressing out SHE didn't drag her butt to work. Nope, she is also the principal of the school side and she took a snow day..

Okay.. rant off. I just had to get that out of my system. Now I have to get ready and slide on into work.

Schumi, you should give the restaurant a chance. I've been a vegetarian for years and years. I gamely go along with a smile whenever family wants to eat out at a steakhouse. Granted, I don't order steak (usually stuck with a baked potato and salad, which is okay but not something I want to pay a restaurant for when I can just eat that at home, if you know what I mean..) but I am willing to go just because I want to spend time with them!

Not everyone is meant to be a vegetarian, but you never know.. you might like it!

Never in a million years

We only go out for a meal few times a month so I'm certainly not going to go somewhere where none of the group want to go......even her DH!

schumi and vegetables..............


schumi and red meat/wine..........

You know me so well

I do eat veg..........as a side dish! And I love a good salad....long as there's meat or seafood to go with it!

This girl is becoming a real PITA with this to be honest..........she's kinda new to our little group I suppose. Her husband told one of the other husbands he came in one day at lunchtime last week and swears he could smell bacon.....lol

MrsA.......that is awful. How can they say it's safe for some and not others.......that's crazy!

Hope you make it to work safe and sound

Ok Keisha and Mac. Had enough storms. This one gave us 3 more inches of snow, then freezing rain for hours. So many trees and lines down. It was like dodge ball coming into work today. Slippery streets, blocked streets, trees and wires in street, and large puddles due to the foot of snow that is now melting as the temp rising to 34 later today. Storms now predicted for Saturday and Sunday evenings. I don't think my kids have had a full week of school for the last two weeks, and missing 2 days this week.

Mrs. Abbott, I feel for ya. Took me twice as long to get home and to work in the snow and now ice. Stinks when you are the one expected to always be there.

Schumi, I am a meat lover, so just eating peas and lettuce is not my idea of a meal. Hope your DH is getting better now.

Happy Wednesday, all! (Too lazy to find Keisha's camel).

 

[cbsnyber1]

that will be a great show! I'm being good gramma and watching rugrat so DIL can go to see Wicked with the girls tonight. This particular touring company supposed to be very good, have you seen it?

Keisha - going to see Wicked at the Benedum tomorrow night (Thursday). I'll let you know how it was - I'm sure DIL will also give a full report. DW has seen it, I have not (but I luv the Wizard of Oz).

 

[RAPstar]

Keisha, I haven't seen Wicked in a few years, so no clue about the current cast. But they usually do good with casting, so I'm sure it's great.

 

[schumigirl]

Thanks Lynne.........he's doing a bit better today thankfully

Keisha, I haven't seen Wicked in a few years, so no clue about the current cast. But they usually do good with casting, so I'm sure it's great.

There's a production of Wicked touring the UK and it's supposed to be amazing, so yes I do think even the touring cast is outstanding and still has amazing production values.

I can't wait to see the show again in New York in May! Best show I have ever seen


I'm bored today. Have nothing to do.

DH is still sleeping and had to cancel my friend coming over for the day......don't want to pass on whatever he has!

So......need to find something to do other than

Not yet though

 

[Cielei]

I surely hope that all of you under the weather feel better soon!

I just popped in to say hello and hope that y'all are keeping warm and having a good week!

 

[keishashadow]

it's a been a looooong week

Keisha - going to see Wicked at the Benedum tomorrow night (Thursday). I'll let you know how it was - I'm sure DIL will also give a full report. DW has seen it, I have not (but I luv the Wizard of Oz).

DIL gave it two thumbs up! too bad her jeep decided to die on the way home. had to wait long time for AAA to show up for a tow, least she missed the beginning of the storm.

I spent 45 minutes chipping off what looked to be over 1/2 inch of ice, 6 inches of snow and another layer of ice off my car today. feels like my knuckles are dragging on the ground behind me.

lynne - more white stuff headed in I'm afraid, along with sub zero temps. It was 22 degrees and sunny today was nice break.

I'm willing to settle for crumbs

 

[mrsabbott]

I am much less grumpy then the other day! We haven't had school all week and they are out again tomorrow! The main roads are good, but the neighborhood's and back county roads are still slick..

I'm getting off work early tomorrow and we are going to Indianapolis.. We are going to some Indycar trophy reveal thing and then to a Pacer's game. Saturday we MIGHT get to go to the Children's museum.. Looking forward to some family time!

I'm doing laundry tonight and packing. Hope y'all have a good weekend!

 

[RAPstar]

We got snow today. Still had to go to work though. But got free pizza out of it. Also went to the doc today and got antibiotics, a cough supressant/decongestant/antihistamine all in one syrup and refills on 2 other pills I was out of. Woo.
