Co workers and their work ethic

So on Friday I stayed home from work because Jr. was sick throwing up. Mini me decided that she didn't want to go to preschool if her brother wasn't going. I was tired from being up with him, so we just decided to go back to bed. I'm paying for school so I decided that she could stay home and probably wouldn't miss much. (This is the first day that I have missed.)

Anyway, I go in later that day to pick up my paycheck as well as homework for the kids. One of my coworkers barely said two words to me and wouldn't even look at me. Apparently it was busy around there and she needed my help.

So I walk in today and notice first thing (she is our receptionist) that she is not there. The principal is there instead. I take my kids to class and hurry to get back up to the front. By this time the vice principal is sitting there. I walk up just when the phone is ringing, so I answer it. I answer a question or two from the parents and then notice the vice principal is gone.

So I guess the desk is mine. Everyone deserted me. I don't mind doing it, I would just like to be asked. I really don't mind the vice principal leaving me (it's not her job), but I am really irritated that the receptionist is gone. AGAIN!!!!

I hate missing work because my job is a teacher's aide at the school, however, I do so much more than that. So instead of getting off at three today, I didn't get off work until four. I don't mind the work. It's very easy. I just don't like her being gone all the time. I am constantly covering her butt.

Without in the last month she has missed 4 full days and several times away from the desk. Two of the days she was out of town, one day she went to the state fair, and today she was "sick". She also has left at least three or times for doctor's appt. for her kids, appt. for hair and nails, lunch date with her husband, etc. And that is just the last month. I think she has stayed home at least 2 other times with sick kids. It's becoming a routine.

The thing I think I hate the most is that I have such a good work ethic. My job is at that school. If I can at all help it, I am there everyday. Why do people so badly want to get away with only doing the minimum amount to get by? I just don't get it.

Is this true?

So I was hanging out with Bree and Shelly again. Shelly told us about another thing but I don't know if this is true everywhere, maybe just where I am.

Apparently, Shelly has a thing for firemen. Sure, I can see the attraction if they all look like the ones in the calendars. (I have never actually seen a calendar, just seen it talked about on tv.) Anyway she has a friend who is a fireman. He told her that women get dressed up and go to the station just to sleep with the men. Some of them are even married, and their wives don't have a clue about this sort of thing.

What do ya think? Is he just trying to get her to be one of these women or do people actually do this?

I have lived a very sheltered life and am still amazed at things people come up with.

It's my birthday

Today is my birthday!!!

Someone should tell him

I went out with a couple of friends tonight. Shelly told Bree and I this story. She has this co-worker named Lucy. She (Lucy) has a boyfriend (Pat) who she has been dating for awhile now. After she had been there about a month she slept with her district manager in the conference room. Shelly confronted Lucy about it and all she said was, "it just sorta happened."

What? How does it just happen? At work. With someone you barely know. I can see it "just happening" at home on your couch while watching a movie in the dark but not at work. I'm guessing Lucy has some sort of attraction to authority figures at work.

So about a month after this, Pat asks Lucy's dad if he can marry her. He gives the okay. He asks Lucy and guess what she says?

"I have to ask my dad." What kind of an answer is that? I guess she did ask her dad because according to Shelly they are engaged now.

But that just makes me wonder about the situation at work. Shouldn't he be told that she cheated only if it is one time? I wouldn't want to marry a guy that cheated on me with someone he barely knew.

Big Brother

Anyone watching Big Brother?

I have watched every season but the first one. I know this show is totally stupid but I really like it.

I'm just curious your thoughts on the people on the show and what they are doing this season.

My friend Katie

So I have this friend named Katie. We go to church together so I know that she believes in God and knows the Bible fairly well since she grew up in a Christian home.

I found out the other day from another friend at church that Katie has met a guy on the internet. Apparently this guy is divorced, has a kid, just got out of jail, and he doesn't believe in God. She thinks she loves this guy and she says he is really cute.

Ok so my question is why? Why would you even give this guy the time of day? People on the internet are not always honest. If he told her all of this, what is he hiding?

My guess is that she is afraid of never finding anyone. She is almost 30 and never really dated anyone. But why stoop so low. I just don't get it. I never lowered my standards.

Hi

This is my first blog so let me tell you a little about myself.

My husband has his blog on here. He goes by the name of Xian Husband. We have two children. Our son (Jr) is 7 and our daughter (Mini Me) is 4.

Jr is very much like his dad in a lot of ways but he is a good mix of both of us. You would almost think that Mini Me was cloned because she is exactly like me. In some ways it's good but I am not ready for the teenage years.


I am a Christian. I am very involved in our church. I teach the children and a women's class. I work at a Christian School so I am home for the summer.

I started a blog because I have a lot of stupid friends who claim to be Christians but they keep doing idiotic things that they know that they shouldn't be doing. I have talked to a few people about their issues but I don't seem to feel that I can totally speak my mind. I am hoping that I will speak it here.

Thanks. Happy reading. Most of my posting will be at night since that is when I do my best work.

Oh and unlike XH my posts are short. ;)
