Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. It is 76 degrees F and sunny here at the Jersey Shore. It is gorgeous out there! 
It was a busy day at work. I'm still having a hard time getting into a "groove" with the moving back and forth between classes. I know it is an inconvenience to the other 2 teachers to have me in them but at least they aren't the ones running around all day like a nut. 
Oh and I supremely pissed off the guy teacher--the OCD one. I was ahead with one class and I knew my old classroom was empty that period so we took a field trip up there and I had the students move all of my stuff out of there. Many hands make for light work and all of that. 
Well I moved some of it into the prep closet in his room. There was space and he had said to me about it "whatever you need". Well I need somewhere to put my crap. In any case only about half of it fit and the other half had to go in the other room. He is just going to have to deal with it.
Speaking of dealing with it. . . he also flipped when he got back after 1st period to discover that a custodian had delivered a teacher desk. I told the custodian I didn't request one and he said he was told by one of the assistant principals to deliver it. Well when the guy saw it he was so angry he got beet red. I said "don't look at me! I didn't request it!" He said "I know". He has an in-class support teacher in *one* of his classes 2x/week and she wants a desk in there. She also wants it in the front of the room. He is adamant that it be in the back. He pushed it straight to the back of the room. So this power struggle should be interesting to watch. By contract I am entitled to a desk but it would have to go in the other classroom because there definitely is no room in his room now. There really isn't any room in her room either though. I'm just going to have to start stashing my stuff in both rooms and do the best I can.
Anyway I'm obviously done with work and back at the apartment with the cat crew now. Maintenance still has not shown up to deal with the dishwasher. I've called the management office a total of 8 times over the past 2 days and no answer. I don't know what her problem is. 
This is ridiculous.
No big plans for the afternoon which is good because I'm tired. What's everyone else up to this afternoon?

My blood pressure would be getting so high around that OCD teacher. I mean, Sir, get therapy.
It’s 91 today (perfect pool weather). It makes me wonder if our complex is ever going to open it again (it’s been four years). I’m starting to wonder what I’d look like with a tan.
Nothing going on here today. Didn’t make it to the ultrasound, but will go tomorrow.

Oh, wow! That teacher doesn't sound like he'd be fun to work around if he has no give in the routine of his classroom.
If the "support" teacher is only there twice a week, then her desk doesn't need to be at the front of the room but that does give you a place to put more of your stuff. 
You might as well jump in with both feet.
It's 90F in my part of Missouri today but doesn't feel that hot outside. I brought in the mail a few minutes ago but was only out on the front porch, not out in the yard. It might feel hotter out there.
Pretty woke me up earlier wanting me to drive her somewhere. I got a shower and found her asleep... I still haven't called the garage for a jumpstart but decided to take a nap. If she can't stay awake, there's no reason for me to be worrying about the car. (We're supposed to have high temp warnings the rest of this week and into next week. I don't want to be out in that!)

At least the OCD guy has someone else to focus his attention on for the moment.

Way too much drama for me. I'd be pissed about the dishwasher too. I have a few calls to make today...nothing else planned. Oh yeah, Terminix is coming this morning.
