September 12, 2013

It is 9:30PM at the moment, which is late for me now, especially for a weekday, so this entry will probably be a bit short because my mind is wandering to my pillows.

There were only three MAP tests today, instead of four, but it really felt like I was testing all day. The first two were back-to-back and that was rough. And right after the second test one of the sixth grade classes came in to work on their stories, which meant they logged out of several computers, making more work for me later on. They also jammed the printer several times. The fifth graders kind of annoyed me last year and they still kind of annoy me as sixth graders. It's almost to the point where I'm going to start kicking them out of the lab. Maybe after a warning.

When the sixth graders left I had lunch and then set up for the next MAP test. And right after that test I went down to the gym for the lock-down assembly, where the cops tell you what to do in the event of a school shooting or other bad things in a school. Then we all broke off to practice. Last year I ended up in the library closet with fifth graders and the library aide, who kept saying 'you killed us' every time the fifth graders made a noise. This year I was again in the library closet but there weren't any kids, just the librarian and the library aide. When the lock-down was over I looked over some of the trouble tickets with the librarian. I went and fixed the receptionist's ticket by having her use a different browser for the program she was using, which left us with only three open tickets I think. The two computers in the lab were fixed today. It took less than five minutes for each computer, and it seems like something computer aides or lead techs could be doing, saving us time and the tech guys, but whatever.

After work I went and picked up my mat from Hobby Lobby. It will probably be the last mat I get from at. Certainly my last double mat because the inner one is crooked. And the annoying thing is that it looks like it was cut correctly but they glued it on crooked to the front mat. And it is pretty obvious, at least to me, and hopefully to someone making double mats, so I kind feel like it was just laziness on the part of whoever did it. I'm still going to give it to my dad but tell him if he finds it too annoying then I'll have another one made. Not by Hobby Lobby.

Tonight I didn't have a visit with the new volunteer kid because my grandma invited my mom and I over for birthday cake, because today was my grandma's 90th birthday. She made lemon cake and chocolate cupcakes and both were delicious. My sister and her husband met us over there and we sat around for almost two hours before calling it a night. On Saturday we are having a lunch at my dad's to celebrate her birthday. I am looking forward to the food.
