Gaylean's week in review or maybe two weeks
Brooke started first grade. She loves it and her teacher loves her (of course
). I went to Back-to-School night last night and the teacher informs me that she falls asleep everyday in class
. Now I know first grade is hard and I also know she is as cute as pie but I'm telling you right now if Ethan would have done that the teacher would not have been so nice. Why do teachers and people in general treat her so good? Believe me she's not an angel. I had the same thing happen last year. She got all Outstandings on her report card yet her scores in reading were lower than Ethan's were in kindergarten and he got all Satisfactories . He could read a Dr. Suess book by the time he left kindergarten and she still needs pictures, which the teachers say is normal but why would he get an S and her an O
The teacher also tells us she is pregnant and she will leave in January only to return before the end of the year. I know teachers are people too and they get pregnant but why would she come back after the kids have already gotten use to another teacher
She's due in February so if she only takes ten weeks off she'll barely be back before the end of the year.
Wait I'm not done.
My fingerprinting hasn't come in yet. I went on Friday. They said it would take 2 hours to get the results. I've been calling them all week. They told me that there was something wrong with the billing and kept having me call the HR department at the school district. When I would call them they would say that the BIL number was right and then I would have to call fingerprinting agency back and I would get someone else who didn't know a thing
I'm surprised I still have a job. The fingerprinting agency called today and told me to come in again because they lost it
This is not a short process. You have to wait in the waiting room forever to get in.
Wait there's more.
I'm not sure if you all know this but right after the cruise our phone and TV were out for awhile. When I was trying to get it fixed they assured me that the bill would reflect this. I got a bill yesterday that was higher than normal. So I call and talk to a lady that tells me not to hang up because it is really busy and she has to contact the tech department. I was on hold for 2 hours. I finally hung up and called back because I had to go to Back-to-School night. I get this lady that is a real winner. She actually gets back to me quickly but when she does she tells me I'm getting refunded only for 10 days and only for the phone and not the TV
I said that couldn't be right and she said it is. I said I needed to speak to someone higher than her and she said who. I said someone that was going to help me. She said I'm going to refund you for ten days. I said no, you will get me a supervisor. She says no, I'm going to refund you
WTH is that? Finally she agreed to get me a supervisor. I guess she thought being mean and giving me the same info over and over was going to make me happy
I sat on hold for 30 minutes waiting for that supervisor until I had to hang up. I guess I'll have to call back today
Wait....
My back is hurting really bad through all of this.
And the weird news:
Before they even called me back for my fingerprinting they asked if I wanted a higher job
They want me to be an aide in special day class
It is for 6 hours a day at my kids school and the pay is a lot more. I'm not sure I can handle it so I'm not sure what is going to happen yet but it is strange.
I think that's it but I'll think about it and let you know.
) Hopefully it is a blip along his general road of improvement Holly.
) and some moving of door decorations, but nothing bad. I guess there were more kids/teens on this cruise. Whenever I saw teens they were well behaved and polite.
He said that he thought that excursion was very expensive but I said we can stay on the ship anyway. Oh well wait and see 7 October then I am counting the days now. I feel that it will be Med because why open date Oct as last time was in January?
