It’s my Friday. I get to enjoy the 4 day weekend. I’m on call if anything happens that need to be physically be there for but most of our active work is taking a break as well. I have a meeting with my director tomorrow. I guess his senior leaders have been talking about what to do with me. So hopefully I hear some good news.

Actually I'm super nervous this morning. This is long so I'll TL/DR at the end. Yesterday, I was copied on an email to my coworker requesting help pulling in some problem parts. Since coworker didn't respond, I looked up the parts, found stock that could be bought immediately, and sent it to just her, saying if she wanted me to buy them today, to let me know and I'd help out. When I got home, I was looking at emails, because I needed to order other parts for another project that is having issues. I kept checking my email periodically throughout the evening because we have a call every Tuesday at 8pm. At some point, she replied to the original email stating SHE had found the parts and ordered them, blah blah. And it pissed me off because no where does she thank me for helping. So I sent a text to, what I thought was another coworker, stating she had responded to so and so's email, stating SHE found the parts, no where mentioning me. But, I actually sent the text to coworker I was complaining about and another coworker. I thought it was weird there was no reply from the person I MEANT to send to and went and looked and realized what I had done...que panic. And then this text message comes from coworker I was complaining about saying 'Excuse me.' I was like, LOL, that was meant for Liz, it's about Linda and the project we are working on, trying to find these problem parts and she's over stepping her bounds, blah blah. She seemed okay, like she believed it last night, but I'm super freaking nervous she's going to come in today and say something or be like we need to talk.
TL/DR; I sent a text message complaining about my coworker, to my coworker. Hopefully I covered my ass, but I'm nervous for her to come in and see how she is today.

Well, she didn't come in yelling at me and was her normal chatty self, so hopefully I talked myself out of whatever damage I may have caused. I'm still nervous. Just going to keep my head down and be quiet today.

Oh God mwhip. That kind of stuff is my nightmare. Every now and then I still think about a mis-sent email in grad school. I have one coworker who is a friend and we text all day--sometimes about the craziness of our other coworkers. I changed the background of our texts so that it stands out and I always ensure I'm texting him and not the loony toons. Honestly, from what you originally sent it really wasn't that bad. She didn't give you credit and you called it out. In my experience people like that are often so oblivious they just don't get it. Hopefully with the long weekend her mind is elsewhere and it will soon be forgotten.

I was really productive yesterday so I can be lazy today as long as a bunch of new assignments don't come in. We're driving down to OR.

Morning.
MH went in to work a couple hours early and will be leaving at noon so we can get on the road. Kids are still sleeping and I need to start making sure I have all the little extra stuff. Packing for cold weather always complicates my process.

That's what H said when I told him about it, like, she never gives you credit for what you do, so you didn't really do anything wrong. But I shouldn't have been bitching about it...if I was going to approach it with her, there are definitely more adult ways of handling things. And yes, the end of the day can't get here soon enough for me to not have to see her for 4 days and hopefully it will be forgotten!

Soooo the quarantining teachers saga continues. Dds teacher was indeed positive. The first testing availability was Saturday. So when I called my boss stating that I might need to a take a day on Friday because dd needed to quarantine (so no sitter) she arranged that someone from my work come to my house to get her tested today. She was marvellous, dd didn’t even flinch.
So fingers crossed the test comes back negative tomorrow.
Ds’ other teacher has to quarantine because her husband tested positive. So all in all shoot me, shoot me now. And for heaven sake close the school.

Got my allergy shots, grabbed some last minute stuff from the grocery store and later today I'll start prepping foods to cook in the morning and I'll bake the cranberry apple pie. Mh asked if I wanted him to just go buy one. He has very little faith in me not losing my temper with it. 😬

mwhip, omg. Glad she seems to be fine. I do not handle situations like that well at all and would have also been a bundle of nerves! nam2013, ugh I'm so sorry. My state has the highest rates in the US right now and it's unsettling. I know so many people with it and the daily notifications from the kids schools make me queasy. I hope they shut school down for you guys.

I’m hoping the school closes, but my heart is breaking a little too, next week is Sinterklaas at school, think Christmas, the kids will receive presents and it a big celebration. For most kids it the best day of the year…
I cannot believe that with a 85% vaccination rate we’re right back where we were last year…

Dropped all my Christmas cards in the mail and now I'm making my guys deposits. Getting lunch and heading home. Once Mallory naps I need to put away the last of the laundry and make a shopping list.

I had to teach my class and half of another class again today. Then took T to his well check up and now I’m watching DS1’s high school scrimmage streamed because traffic was bad and I couldn’t make it to the game. They do not have enough players so my little 115 pound freshmen is double shifting, playing left wing and defense on varsity.

Is the small team due to covid/illness or just not enough players kim22? Good luck to your little dude.
