Color Me Yelled At

Why is it that the only open physical appt for a month is on the second-busiest day of the second semester?ย  Today was the 100th day, and I had to leave at 1345.ย  (figure it out.ย  Military time makes SENSE.) Why is it always the day you have to get naked, that the doctor is […]

I Am Getting Paid

Sort of.ย  But that’s okay–I only “sort of” went back to work today.ย  I spent three hours there, but I really didn’t accomplish much. I find it very interesting that HR and Payroll and everybody else at the district will tell you all day long not to work extra hours unless you’re getting paid for
