Weekend Blues
My weekend was preceded by arriving at work Friday morning and receiving a note from my boss that gave very clear instructions in response to my Workman’s Comp paperwork filed about my wrist:
In the future, do not break up fights.
Next fight I see? I’m going to get a bag of chips and stand back to root for my favorite student. And when a parent demands to know why I did nothing to intervene, I will show them the note and tell them to ask my supervisor.
I should’ve known that starting out my Friday that way was a sure sign that the rest of the weekend would be crap. I would’ve been right to assume it, because so far it has been.
No hits on jobs yet; at this point I am resigned to the fact that I’m going to be stuck here for another year. To be honest, I don’t know if I can do this for another year.

Sounds like him. I was seriously surprised how well he responded last time I called him. I expected deep frustration and disappointment, but instead he told me not to worry and just to take care of myself. He can surprise you that way. They did tell us at the beginning of the year to avoid splitting up fights, but I never listened either. The last fight in my room, between E.D. and L.B., I broke up. Which is really irresponsible since I’m pregnant, but I understand. You feel a need to help, protect, and do something other than stand and watch. It is a hard thing. And if you are stuck there next year, I know you will still do your best and the students will love it!
Keep your head up!
