Kaitie's Open Diary

Wahoo!! Thanks dari---You too!! We're doing great right! (we meaning you and me...ok and John too.) :)
 
Plainfield? Uh oh, guess where all our students move to when they leave this neighborhood--yep Plainfield. I'm glad to hear your diet is going so well and I'm thrilled about John's success as well.
 
Every state must have a Plainfield...

I bet that is the best feeling in the world, your clothes being too big! Whoohooooo... I am so jealous!
 
Hi there... I'm new here and have to tell you the post about trying on your old cloths and they were too big was very inspiring. I can't wait till I start wearing smaller cloths!

Keep up the great work!

Susan
 
What weight is John down to? How is he going with it?

Congrats on the clothes thing - ive been doing something similar in desperation trying to find things that fit!
 
I'm pissed. I'm so freakin' pissed you have no idea. I'm seething. I want to strangle my collegue. I want to rip her into shreads.

I'm the band teacher. BAND!!! Not General music...freakin' BAND!!! I am not supposed to have full classes of students in my schedule---she is. That is her job description--what does she do...she goes over my head (didn't even mention it to me) and tells the principal that she should give me 3 extra classes because her schedule is too full. Bullcrap! She has 4 extra periods during the week...extra as in she's just sitting there and twiddling her damn thumbs. Me, so far I barely have a prep and a lunch every day and she wants to give me some of HER workload!!!! Freakin' ridiculous. I'm so pissed off I'm about to cry. I want to scream at her....punch her. Who would've thought that I would hate someone so quickly. What a bitch. I'm not doing extra classes. My schedule is full. And I can't believe that I got pulled into the principals office like a freakin' child to be told that she's got a problem actually doing her job.

Grrr.

Kaitie,
I do believe your post burned a few extra calories ;)

I hope you're able to work this conflict out! It sucks to be in such an adversarial position at work :(
 
I don't know which I'm more pissed about...the fact that she was a bitch and complained behind my back or that people keep thinking that I have all this freakin' free time in my schedule.

I was so mad that I couldn't eat my lunch.
 
Don't skip meals girl - you'll get too hungry later (that's when I would over eat!)

You'll work this out best by staying calm :D
 
Hang in there Kaitie! Is there a way reverse this situation by getting this teacher and your administrator together with you to work it out. I know you are really angry, and right now wouldn't be a good time. I personally blew a gasket at work this AM, and made myself look like an idiot.....Anyway, I agree with the advice you got not to skip meals. Hope everything works out for you.
 
Look at it this way Kaitie....

Take it as a compliment. The school admin must think that you do a wonderful job and can handle the extra workload. Your coworker is just making herself look bad by being a big baby about not being able adequately do her job!!

You probably have a contract right?... If you are doing more work, I would ask for more money!!

Take out your frustration in the GYM!!!!
 
I totally took out my frustration at the gym....I did 9 miles on bike!! That's 246 calories gone---wahoo!! I'm trying not to think about today...I know that I can't turn my brain off at night if I'm upset about something which in turns means that I don't sleep well. So I'm trying to turn off my brain.

Exercise Update:

9 miles on the bike
150 sit-ups
150 torso twists
30 leg lifts

Edit: Wahoo!! 170 sit-ups to go until I meet my 5000 goal....I think after tomorrow I'll up it to 10,000!!!! Eek!!

Do you have a time on your 9 mile ride ??

I need to know how bad I'm slacking, you know, something to compare myself to not in a competition way, I just know I don't grind it out very hard...

Nice anger conversion too I might add. Pretty productive way to deal with the work drama. Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Peace.
 
I rode the bike for about 50 minutes yesterday at level 1.

Anger conversion=Big Payoff!!! I lost 1.5 pounds since yesterday!!! Weehee!! 186 for me!!

Gosh, today better be better than yesterday....

Oh, that is soooo me. I stew over things too; they play round and round in my brain like a broken record.

Good on you for working it off! 1.6lbs! Well, you kicked the butt of my little .5 loss!!:D I hope today is better; I too would ask for a meeting with the 3 of you, so your "colleague" doesn't see you going behind her back. Be the better person, because you ARE!
 
Ok here's some major irony for ya.

First off I decided to take an extra two classes off her hand, told her, she said no so I said...ok. I tried.

So here's the irony...since she's a new teacher to NJ she has to have a mentor (someone to help show her the ropes and stuff, guide her in her lessons etc...) so....can anyone guess who's getting paid an extra $1000 to be her mentor? Yep...you guessed it. I'm her new mentor. I'm telling you...the way things happen sometimes really baffles me.

Anyway---I've done it people!! I've done it!!! 5000 sit-ups!! DONE!!
Now on to 10,000. Eek!
