Roller coaster

The situation w/my boss is back on the downhill slide.  We had a meeting after school and I barely spoke but the one comment I did make was not understood by him, mostly b/c he interrupted me as I was making it and said that I was on the wrong track.  I don’t normally make comments like this but I truly believe that if someone else had made the point that I made it would have been more well-received.  Several of us believe that he has a plan he wants to enact, which is fine, he’s the boss.  But he doesn’t want to say, “Here’s my plan, do it, b/c I’m the boss.”  He wants it to look like a group effort and that it’s a concensus.  It actually got quite uncomfortable a few times b/c at one point he and the AP (who I respect 100%) got into a little argument and several times there was dead silence b/c nobody wanted to make a comment.  On a good note, though, I met my new students today and they seem to be really eager to learn.  When I’m in my own classroom or hanging out w/my friends at school I love my job, it’s just these meetings that drive me crazy.

I got up this morning at 4:15 to do TJ Cardio Party since I knew I wouldn’t get a workout tonight.  I still laugh at how uncoordinated I am that early in the morning.  But at least I’m shaking my boo-tay and burning a few hundred calories.

Tomorrow is another day and it’s almost Friday!!!

Progress toward workout goal:  104/250

    Geez…I thought I was doing good to get my 15 minutes in at 6:00 a.m. You stole my thunder, girl!

    Yeah, he knows what he wants. That’s probably why he doesn’t want anyone to disagree. He wants a bunch of “yes men” so he can say it went through the committee.

    My old principal would actually be looking around the room when I was trying to talk to him. I always felt like waving my hand in his face and saying, “Helloooo!! Are you with me here?”
