Did I mention Sunday is my last day at the restaurant?
Awesome.
Thought I'd throw in that tidbit and poke my head in here for a minute.
School has been so crazy. Working hard is an understatement. Plus, started my second semester in the master's program this week. 70 hours booked clean through just for work, not counting homework! So, I'll keep this short and sweet and let you laugh at my exhaustion.
Case in point:
Today, after a VERY long and rowdy day with my sixth grade classroom, I had to call a few parents about poor classroom behavior... well, clearly I was too tired.
I had a brand new student today who just moved back from out of state... well, my class was OVERLY excited to see him and was too rowdy. So, following policy, I had to call his parents. I got the voicemail and that's when it happened... I left the voicemail saying my name was Carol. My mom's name. Um, yeah... Feeling like an idiot starting now. I scrambled, but it was a voicemail, what could I say besides "oops!" ? I mean, wow. So, embarassed. Then, to make matters worse I go to call my mom to tell her and I hear a strange voice-- yep, I hit redial and this time the mom answered. Double my embarrassment!
But wait, it gets better.
I called the next parent and went to say, "This is a call for 'so and so's' mom" and instead I said, "This is 'so and so's mom"... yeah, apparently I have a child in sixth grade. I started laughing on that voicemail because at least I know that parent well enough that she will understand....
Here's to hoping the other mom doesn't think I am a total crazy person and/or alcoholic. Geeze.
Going to sleep now! Hope you enjoyed laughing at me!
