Hey guys.
I survived the last week of school. It was a crazy week. I barely got in workouts. I ran 5 miles Wednesday morning, then did hot yoga at night. I ran again on Friday, 5 miles. Saturday I felt so sluggish, probably due to the weather (rain all day) and the stress I had been under to finish everything for work in time. Yesterday, I still felt sluggish, but forced myself to do Xtrain Supercuts. Those sit outs did me in! Then TOTM arrived and it made sense why I felt so crappy. This morning I met with my friend and we did 5 sllllooooowwww miles. At least I got it done.
So the drama at work continued right to the end this week. I told you about the teacher that came to me because I'm a union rep and wanted to get another teacher fired for his opinions about illegal immigration at a PD she ran. Well, after weeks of investigating her claims that he is a bully and she is scared of him, they determined that he did not harass or bully her. They advised her to mediate with him, which is what I had said to do from the get go as the union rep. Anyway, the mediation took place Friday (last day of school) in the morning. Many of the male teachers knew that this man was coming back and waited outside for him to return after the mediation. When he returned, they clapped and cheered for him. Now this chic was walking in the building at the same time and saw this. Then they took him to the 6th grade hallway (which is below the hallway this crazy girl works in) and had a cake for him. Well, this chic kept walking by and looking in, which is weird because she has no business being in that hallway. Long story short, she ran back to central office to complain that they were cheering for him and gave him a cake and she feels uncomfortable being in the building. Really? how freakin' old are you? You tried to get the man fired and clearly, your charges were false. Now you are upset that his friends celebrated him returning to his job? On top of all this, this girl is not even tenured. They could fire her at their will without any reason behind it at all. I would think that central office would think she is a bit of a snowflake at this point and get rid of her. If they look at her attendance record, they'd see she takes a lot of 3-4 day weekends during the year too. I hope they either fire her or move her out of the building. I cannot even look at her.
Anyway. . . I'm officially on summer vacation. I got up early to run, but now I am relaxing by the pool for the rest of the day. This is living!!
Deb- traffic on Long Island, especially Sunday afternoon/evening heading west is bad. Everyone is coming out to the Hamptons every weekend now. Westbound traffic on a Sunday is going to be bad. You're a good SIL, lol. Bayshore isn't even too bad because it isn't that far east compared to where I live. I live at exit 62 on the LIE.
Belinda- WOW! STS for over a year! I don't think I could ever do that. My last few attempts at doing STS ended in failure to complete the full rotation. Maybe after the marathon I will try it again. Maybe, lol.
BBL,
