Stream of consciousness(2)


Blog30:

            Mind … I can’t keep up with you …

            6:13 AM … More ridiculous blame game over the country’s trillion deficit, and which presidential candidate would really do something about it; who will present a balanced budget in the upcoming fiscal year?  Questions … and more questions … sound bites can get irritating, indeed!  Top News – worries on more West Nile Virus affecting residents; 47 states report casualties.  Let’s ‘knock-on-wood’ - it doesn’t come around NC.  What is Center for Disease Control’s initiative on it, by the way?  Threats of Hurricane Isaac are looming down south and the Caribbean.  Will it come to the Carolinas?

            7:10 AM … ‘Got to rush now; must get to the workplace before 8AM!  What can be done before hitting the showers … clean-up the counters, fold the dry laundry;  why am I doing half-a dozen laundry wash/dry during the week?  That’s ridiculous!  7:20 AM … Hit the showers now or you’d be late!

            9:09 AM … What could be quickly completed here?  Copy files, activity sheets, and documentation notes, purge a bit more and give room to newer ones that may require filing.  Those banner streamers must get up on the walls before Open House at 6PM.

            10:17 AM … Curriculum maps … I must get those searched, filed and printed.  Dear me, morning’s almost gone, and I haven’t even started that Newsletter!  Put a reminder to look hunt for those language test results.  Scheduling students for session visits, when will I get that done and what’s the best approach for tackling it?  Weaker ones get more session times!

            12:18 AM … No sit-down lunch today.  Check with Data Manager on incoming rosters and files.  Now … which colleague will acquiesce to team-teaching?  How many mentees this year?  When will I get a chance to inventory office resources or request supplies? Were the Busop brothers, and JT retained?  Don’t forget to check!

            01:14 PM … Check-off database glitch notes to ‘honchos’.  More paper pushing, documents checking, clerical work here and there; when’s this going to end?  Should I stop by the Nail Salon and get my nails in some decent fashion?  Time … why do I run after you all the time?  You’re my enemy today.  I better get going if I wanted to get a catnap before Open House tonight.  Could Mickey be home?  I failed to check schedules today with him.  Dinner with him, maybe or I’d sup’ on my own? 

4:00 PM Walks of expectation … pick up bin trash … tackle one more laundry load … never ending task, but necessary.  What else is on plate today?  Email Allan and Miriam.  Should I send notice to Alicia and Bob?  The weekend already looks packed even before it arrives.  Time – why you are my enemy? 

Time … I can’t keep up with you …
