Cant Keep Quiet!

I was ready to go home about 20 minutes after I got to work today. My brain is pretty much mush right now. All I can think of are some questions I want answered.

1) When did my job description start to include: family counselor, teacher confidant, parent advocate for students at other schools, mind reader, parent liaison (not between parents and the school but between bickering parents — beyond family counselor), legal adviser, test administrator, go to person for any problem you can think of not mentioned above?

2) Why do the local weather people get to keep their jobs when their forecasts are wrong 50% of the time? Today’s forecast was a high of 80 with only a 20% chance of rain. It started raining this morning by about 9 and hasn’t stopped raining yet. Because of the rain the high was only 76.

3) Why won’t my dog go down into the backyard by herself when it is raining but will happily go into the front yard on the leash when it’s raining? And stay out there forever if I let her?

4) Why do I feel like my principal has no respect for the work I do? Actually, you don’t need to answer that question. I know the answer. What I don’t understand is how the man can tell me I’m the best Staffing Coordinator he’s ever had work for him and he still treats me like I have no idea what I’m doing!

5) Why is it when you’re having a bad day the people who seek you out are the ones who annoy you the most? They weren’t seeking me out to give me grief but to seek my services for those things mentioned in #1. I think I’d understand it more if they were trying to give me grief.

I’m sure I could come up with more but I’m beginning to grind my teeth so it’s time to stop.
