quote of the day

While not getting into what's going on with work stuff, I do have to share the funniest thing that happened, which I think wins for Quote Of The Meffing Day:

My friend Kelly was telling a story while eating Mini-Muffins and didn't like to talk with food in her mouth. She wanted to say, "I can't talk when I have Mini-Muffins in my mouth," but what she said instead was "I can't talk when I have mini-mouthins in my muff."

I laughed until I cried.

WIN! ^_^

Other than that, let's see. Today was the first day that really utterly felt like a spring day. It was around 65 degrees today. It's too bad that it's going back down into the 30's again next week. yep, 30's, and we might have snow Monday. WTF?

I already started planting, and I got some lovely lovely flowers out there.

The rest is looooocked!! O_O

work crap again

So on Tuesday, Nancy and I had another long talk. In it, she told me that Douchbomb guy was my problem to deal with and I'd better just learn to be nice to him because he's staying. She said, "Everyone's noticed how much you hate him, and you have to try to be introspective on this and figure out why you're getting so angry, and then just stop being that way."

She also said that she had done as I requested and asked everyone else about him, and they had all denied that there was such a huge problem. She downplayed everything. As she was telling me the things they'd said, I started to get the feeling that there was some spin going on here.

So today I talked to all the people who have a problem with douchebomb and to whom she spoke. When I mentioned that I'd discussed it with her, they all had the same reaction: a smile, a look of, "Yeah, we have each other's back, right?" I told them, Not according to her, and I told them what she told me they'd each said. As I was telling each of them, their jaws just dropped and they were all like, "No way. I did not say any such thing. If anything I told her how bad it really was with him." That he creeped them out, that he did nothing all day, that he was offensive and rude and useless. Yet according to her--as told to me--they're all fine with him.

They also told me that she had told them that I said I wanted this guy dead.

O_O Now WHAT THE HELL?!

It's hard because we're pretty close friends too, but she's managed to but a group of us at the center of this crazy drama thing and she's telling us all something different. She's doing this, "She said this and that about you," to each of us. As it happens, she did not talk to us all together as a group, but called us all in separately and then told us all different things. When we got together to compare notes as it were, we were sitting there with our jaws on the floor going, "I never said any such thing!"

I don't know what's turning her into this kind of manager. She has, for so many years, been so lovely to me. Management there has always been lazy at best, but this is downright manipulative, and it's totally a new thing. It's ridiculous and it's all over her defending this douchebomb guy.

I keep trying to find a teacher education program anywhere on LI, which a friend of mine was telling me about the other night, but I can't find any. It's called an "alternate route teaching certificate" I got so psyched for it. But the only programs I can find are off the island and are about three years long. I don't have that kind of money or time. Yet by and by I realized that I'd really like to teach.

I'm just frustrated, I don't even know where to begin. This post is locked because of those crazy creeps from Mayo's.
