the first week is kicking my butt!
last week was my last week of vacation and i spent the last bit of it celebrating daryl’s birthday with him and yuko, and then heading out to LA on thursday… and staying until sunday! i didn’t really plan on being there that long, but i didn’t have anything planned here at home and watching the entire season of “project runway 3” with two built-in roommates (kat and susan) was so much more funner than being home alone in my cable-less apartment. i took pictures, as usual, of us eating, and wanted to blog about it when i came home…
but when i arrived back here in the land of internet (that would be my house, since kat’s network kicked me off every 10 seconds), i realized i had to go to work.
i know, i know, i had the whole summer off, and i’m pretty sure NO ONE feels sympathetic towards me right now… but this first week of work is kicking my butt!
i have to be there at 8, which means i have to get up around 7… and for some reason, the adjustment period is just really really really hard. i’m tired all the time and i take naps and everything, but i’m still tired. and the daily meetings for 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the afternoons aren’t really helping either. plus… my classroom is a mess and i have to try to get things all organized around this schedule that we have of meetings and more meetings. add to that, when i get home and try to take a nap, someone usually calls and wakes me up. grrrr!!!! you shoulda heard me growl at the telemarketer who called - especially since i’m on the do-not-call list! he claimed he was from a non-profit organization, which apparently is exempt from the do-not-call list, but when i asked him if it was a marketing call, he sheepishly acknowledged that it was… and i firmly told him not to call me again and that i didn’t appreciate being woken up… but i get one or two calls like that every day! what’s up with that??!?! anyways, that’s besides the point…
the point is that being back at work is tiring me out and i fnd myself wanting more and more sleep, but i have SO MUCH TO DO to be ready for my classroom on tuesday.
*sigh*
at any rate, i would love to post more about my friends and the good times we had eating, but i think i’m gonna take another nap. and maybe this time i won’t wake up till 7am. =)
