I Started Off So Well. . .

Ugh... it was a dark day in the library today. I had been doing so well since school started, keeping the stress away and being FRIENDLY to everyone. Not today...and what did me in? It was that my assistant took 1/2 day today and we had the "World's Worst Sub." (WWS). Have you met her? She looks okay, and even sounds okay, but she isn't. She pissed off my assistant before the poor woman even left the school. And she pissed me off just a couple of minutes later, and then again a few minutes after that, and about five more times after that. Jeez... But I was trying to overlook it all and NOT be my old crabby self about it. It didn't work. She was unable to follow simple written directions, and then, at the end of her day after her afternoon duty, this is what she says, "Is there anything else I can do before I go?" And I looked at the clock and told her that she still had 20 minutes to work and she did not like this. She got a bit belligerent, and I was somewhat surprised. You know, here she is a sub, working in the library for the first time, and she leaves early? Not even ASKS to leave early, she just assumes it. W.R.O.N.G. And she managed to piss off both my assistant and me in less than 3 hours. She won't be back. And I did apologize for being short with a teacher who happened to come in in the middle of all of it and want a video played. It really wasn't her--if my assistant had been in, I probably wouldn't have even known about her issues, but I had to deal with her and I wasn't too happy about it interrupting my class. But I apologized and so did she and I think we are okay. I don't want to go to the dark side anymore. I didn't like it. Oh, and I offended the parent of a student today and she probably doesn't even know about it. Or maybe she does. I did it. I am sorry. Tomorrow will be better.
