Er, I've been quiet

Working at 8AM, today, to the best of my knowledge (I love this floating schedule thing, not.)

Yesterday I did two classes back to back. They were supposed to be four hour classes, but somehow the first one came in at 3.5. Okay, I know how - the TC short circuited it and we ended up not doing a few things we were supposed to. For the second class he just left and went home when he felt like it so I got to finish it properly. And my co-teacher, Skipper, was pulled away by something, I have no idea what ("Are they investigating you? Again?" I asked, which at least made him smile, so I hope NOT), so I ended up teaching both classes alone... nine hours behind the podium. Well, no, eight, because I took a break, during which I snarfed some soup and then went out to run an x-ray at the Checkpoint for a while because they were getting hammered. During the second class I wanted to strangle Skirt Chaser, who, when I gave a five minute bathroom break, he started heating up some food. I heard him belligerently declare to someone that I had promised "two fifteen minute breaks and then a half hour!" but I heard someone say that, too, and it wasn't me.

can i tell you how funny it was to hear they couldn't fill my spot! apparently I'm irreplaceable ;) ;) you should apply this time honey! you deserve the sweet hours, and time with your man! think about it...little extra pay never hurt either....

good job on doing it all by yourself! i would have told them i don't know how to adapt the material for one instructor, and they want two and I just would hate HQ to call ;) lol i so bad!

PhoeBEE, of COURSE you're irreplaceable! I have applied but need to get the SF-50 in there, somehow. Last time I applied they said I wasn't qualified, so this time I used the same answers I had worked up the time I did qualify. You're right - the sweet hours, the more money, and maybe even the chance to do some communicating which might let things like this week not happen again: Apparently it wasn't clearly communicated that people needed to be offered overtime so that we would be able to pull people for four hour session, so it's a mess out there on the floor the past two days.
