Overtime is a Myth

Don’t you hate when no one actually asks you to stay past when they stopped paying you, but they make it seem like if you’d really tried, you could have gotten all this done, so maybe you should just hang around until you do get it done? I love my job. I do. And I […]

Does Getting Paid Make Me a Professional Writer?

Because if it does…Cool! Otherwise, it’s a PITA. (see other blogs for definition.) This morning one of the assistant principals asked me to write up procedures for the teachers to follow, in keeping attendance. Well, as I’m also the registrar, and it’s a busy time of year, I spaced it, until I got home. So

Lazy Day

So sue me, I didn’t get much done today. What can I say? I stayed up too late drinking Dr. Pepper with no concern for the caffeine, and didn’t sleep well when I finally dropped off. So today I got up, did some dishes, read some of my stuff, read some more of my stuff,

Finally, Some Work Done!

It’s technically Saturday, but since I haven’t slept, it’s still Friday by my count.  It was a good day, Friday.  I got a gel pad keyboard wrist rest, so all the work I’ve done today doesn’t have me in as much pain as usual.  I just finished Chapter 13, before I came to blog!  (The
