It's official we have more then one mouse...And now we got sound repellents poison and the traps. Guess what? Our fucking traps aren't catching jack shit.

Well, Jack and his crew are really wily. :-p If all else fails you could try an exterminator.

I am really angry with my mother. Usually I don't get this angry with her, but she really teed me off. I keep in contact with my mom through Facebook. She travels around the U.S. alot and it's cheaper than a phone plan. So a mutual fan of ours is a professor and had two different incidents happen with her students that she asked advice for. She didn't ask directly from me, but just generally. So I gave some advice. There are two things to keep in mind with this. I am a new teacher with just a year under my belt. This mutual friend is a Doctor specializing in researching autism. So while I'm not an expert in teaching I felt that is you ask for advice you tend to get it from different places. Well, my mother didn't like my answers. She said that I was talking to this friend like we were equals and that I was not this womans equal, just because she has a Phd. and I don't. This royally pissed me off. I may not be an expert in autism or research, but neither question was about that. I didn't try to sound arrogant, I was going for concise. While I can see where my mother is coming from, I just don't agree.

Part 2: And of course my mother calls me today acting as if nothing ever happened. She has the philosophy that if a person is angry then it's something within them and not something that anyone did outside of themselves. Sometimes I really hate having a Buddhist Nun for a mother. I'm not kidding on that last part. She is a buddhist nun.

I think we should be able to deny morons whatever we want to deny them.

Why does this make me think I need to try and read Flatland again? I wasn't in the right frame of getting it when I tried before.

The situation with my colleague escalated completely and we're having a talk tomorrow afternoon with our boss present. I am not amused.

[Kirahfaye]

Just don't let anything (or anyone) get you flustered, Evelien. Stick to the facts as you know them and don't elaborate unless you are asked to - and even then it's usually the best course of action to just indicate that you'd rather not speculate on possibilities. And if your colleague takes it upon herself to speculate and surmise about you in particular, don't get upset. Show your concern for the missing money while being calm but emphatic about your involvement.

[Evelien]

The problem is that it's not about the money anymore. It's gotten way worse. She's expecting way too much from me. I work in her class for one morning a week and she's expecting me to help write report cards and stuff, which is crazy if you ask me. I'm already setting myself and my other work aside to help her out and she's now saying I should be happy she isn't asking me for more help O.o
She's completely unreasonable now and I made the mistake of replying to an email saying we should talk this over in person, with our boss present. That's when she really exploded.
I'm worried about my job because my contract ends in December - I just reminded my boss last week that it needs to be extended for 2013 before Christmas - and in January we have a teacher spare (one of our groups is being split up and divided over other groups).
I just hope I won't get emotional tomorrow.

I hope everything works out well for you, Evelien!

[Evelien]

It worked out so perfectly I still can hardly believe it!!

Our boss was obviously on my side and we worked things out together. It was a pleasant conversation. I never hoped it would be like that!

plus, I got a steady job for two days a week!!!!!!!!!!
