Adventures....

This upcoming Wednesday, I will be playing hooky from work for a few hours to get my hair done.  This past week, I worked too many extra hours (again) and even though I have a feeling it's going to happen again this week it won't be near as many hours because of my appointment.

At work this past week, I had the adventure of one of the bus drivers calling in the morning to say he couldn't drive the AM route because he had been in a minor car accident.  I learned very quickly that morning that him calling in meant that I got to drive his bus route.  Luckily work has two 14-passenger buses but that didn't make it any less intimidating for someone who drives a smart car (luckily, I had just taken turns to drive the U-Haul during my move a month ago).  I told the kids on both bus runs that I needed them to "be quiet and be helpful" because I had never driven a vehicle like that before, I wasn't 100% sure where I was going and I needed to hear my GPS, and I needed their assistance as we got closer to the schools so I could be told where to drop them off - did I follow the buses, the cars,what door did I drop them off at, etc.  The kids did a pretty good job in helping me out but it's not a responsibility that I would want to have on a regular basis...

Another interesting mishap at work this past week is someone went home with the extra set of keys which are supposed to stay in the building and are the ones that I use to open the building in the morning.  Since I couldn't open the closet to get out the toys the kids are allowed to play with in the very early morning, I had to frantically piece together things for them to use and it just threw the morning off.  After that happened, I told my boss that I needed my own keys if I was going to be expected to do my job; not having another set of keys, my boss gave me her keys to use for now.  On the days/times she was actually in the building this week, she didn't like having to ask me to borrow her keys in order to get into her office but I use them on a regular basis throughout the day.

Because I'm working too many hours and not getting enough sleep at night, I am still sick.  I keep thinking that maybe I'm starting to feel better but then my stuffy nose and horrible cough come back with a vengeance.  One of these days I will need to figure out how to do a better job in taking care of myself but I haven't found that day yet.  I did take a much needed nap this afternoon so I guess that's a start...

Well, my dear readers, as the hour grows late, and the alarm clock is relentless, so I will bring this to a close for the evening.  Thank you for joining me and I hope that you have your own adventures this week.  =)
