Random spewings...

First thing on my mind is that the people that work in the pharmacy that I get my prescriptions at are incompetent morons.

Not to add salt to your wound (more like misery loves company, lol) but I sure am glad to hear that all pharmacies employ incompetent morons. Yeah I suppose they need a job too. I have this same problem everytime I stop to pick up the husbands prescriptions. One, they are never ready (even though they are on a once a month refill program), Two, its always at least one prescription they have to call in for approval (why? The damn prescription is for a year which the rest of us competent morons KNOW just began.) and then by the time I have waited for over an hour to procure his meds and pay for them I (the one who is on NO prescriptions other than a six pack of beer a day) suddenly feels the urge to rip the bag open and swallow a few of the high blood pressure meds prescribed for my husband, LOL.

This is why I highly recommend all pharmacies install a full service bar in their waiting area.

What is killing me right now is that i brought a banana to eat this afternoon and its not ripe enough. Why did i not notice the green on it? Guess i will just pretend its a phone as people walk by my office for my own entertainment.

To risk sounding like Andy Rooney, what's with this translucent plastic-like packaging material they use to bag chips, cereal, crackers and similar items. It never can be opened without it rip-exploding and spewing saltine crackers all over the kitchen. It never allows you to open it along the seam, but instead opens in the most inconvenient way possible. Assuring that retained freshness is not an option...maybe that's the reason.

Well, I need to spew a bit about my own job.

I know everyone says teachers are lazy, they have it made etc. however, on Friday, I didn't get to teach my own classroom kids because I had an inservice on writing. I learned maybe two things out of 50 that I hadn't been doing, but sitting in a room with a lecturing person is not a great idea. I come to school today (yesterday was a holiday) geared up and ready to teach .... a sub walks into my room, and yes, another training. One they didnt even tell me I was supposed to be at! This had to do with a library grant, I was to learn the 6 modules of the grant to take it back to my staff to teach it to them.

Ready for the shouting.... pretend I am shouting....

If you are going to hold me accountable to teach my students, at least let me in the classroom once in a while so I can do my damn job. Subs just babysit. My kids never learn anything with a sub. Even if I give them new material, they screw it up somehow.

It is crunch time for me. I must get my students mastering these NCLB state standards and they need to master them, lest I be held accountable for them not learning. I can't do my job if you keep sending me out to be trained on things that I will need to train my peers in later.

teachers are angels........

Those who can, do. Those who cannot, teach lol!

Awesome rant, MsAubrey! My roomie would identify with your job rant. She was the office manager where we both worked (and retired from), but she's also a fantastic techie geek, knows computers like nobody I've ever known. So, what do you s'pose they had her doing most of the time? Yeah... IT stuff. They were too damned cheap to actually hire an IT person or pay her what it was really worth for doing two separate jobs! She finally took early retirement because she'd had enough of being overworked and underpaid.

Don't even get me started on our health-care broken system...
