Grrrrrr..........

That's me, growling. What a stinkin rotten day I had (for the most part). I went into work (like the good doobie that I am) because of a sick call. I was very pleasant this morning and chatty to the other girl in the office who also chatted back about what we did for Easter, etc. etc. Halfway through the morning she blurts out in an angry voice "so what's going on with everyone undermining me in the office?" I'm like "excuse me?".. You have to know first off that she's nuts. The full time girls don't like her at all..It's nothing you can put your finger on.. she's just annoying and somewhat crazy. I had always felt bad for her and always went out of my way to include her in conversations because that's just the way I am.. Well, she went on to say that she knows everyone makes fun of her, blah, blah, blah.. Well, I pretty much told her straight out that I don't have a problem with her, and that if she has a problem with other people she needs to confront them and NOT ME. I told her that I'm only in there once a week, and I don't want or need any of this nonsense. It was a very uncomfortable, weird conversation and I'm still feeling weird about it. I can totally understand why no one wants to work with her.. This is the side I haven't seen. Don't go feeling bad for her because she gets right under your skin....anyway, after lunch she is all super nice and psycho to me.. I couldn't wait to get out of there.... then on the way home I checked my home phone messages. It was Matt's CCD teacher who was sick and needed a sub. So I called and said I would sub (total last minute, nothing prepared but I love kids so I figured I would wing it).. There were 3 boys including Matt and 3 girls. All of the kids were great except for this one boy who was totally and completely rude and was making strange noises and putting rosary beads on his head and poking the other boy. I spoke to him stearnly but nicely (I know his parents and he plays football with Matt). I told him to please be respectful when other people are talking, and that we would be courteous to him when he is talking.. and that it was BAD MANNERS to talk and make noise when the other kids (who were being so good and were volunteering information and being cute) were speaking. Well he shut up for like 5 seconds and then I just lost it and went over and told him to stand up, I put his chair right next to mine, and told him that he was 11 years old and that he shouldn't behave like a 2 year old and that I wasn't there to babysit him. The other kids all looked at me like I lost it, but I calmly said "go ahead, Jessica, pick up where Laura left off. He shut the hell up for a little while and actually thanked me for subbing at the end of class. What the heck.....??????? I don't think they'll be calling me back to sub.. In fact, I hope not! Grrrrrrrr..... P.s. Matt didn't mind that I lost it.. he said the kid is like this every week.
