Friday...already?!

Well for once I can't believe that it is Friday already...I mean it just felt like last weekend and now it is this weekend! Not that I am complaining, but wow.

So today was a rough day at work. We have one completely self absorbed ignorant student in our class that seems to like to try and sabotage every one's presentation and just simply be a complete jerk. Well today was my day for him to be a complete d*&k to. And I snapped back at him, to which he said "don't you dare talk to me like that, show me some respect" well if he was showing a lick of respect to start with I wouldn't have had to snap. And by snap...here is what happened. What I did was no where near as bad as what I wanted to do...

I am up in front of the classroom...of 24 adults, who at the youngest have about 10-15 years on me. And I am teaching a software program (for the first time ever to anyone, because it is so new that we just got it...and I explained this to them before I began my presentation). Well just as I am getting ready to start, someone needed help with their computer, they had some sort of technical issue, with my computer screen already up on the main screen for everyone to view I was talking out loud to everyone as I was helping the one student with their computer. Well the one jerk student at this time was in the back polling all of the students with in his corner of the classroom and they were all chatting as I was trying to talk, then when I get back to my machine in the front of the classroom he pipes up and says "I took a poll of this side of the classroom and we have no clue where you are going" in a really nasty tone....So I say in return "relax a minute, I am not even there yet". To which he says "don't you talk to me like that, show me some respect" to which I ignored him and continued on. Now he was yelling at me to show him some respect and if he had any for me as an instructor, he wouldn't have been talking during my presentation and trying to get the rest of the class on his side of the room against me. When he could have simply raised his hand and asked me a polite and sincere question and we would have had no issues.

So OK I was wrong at how I reacted. But I believe it was a tad bit warranted and could have been worse. I got a discussion with my mentor/boss and he got a reprimand from 2 of my co-instructors (one being my boss/mentor) not that I think it is going to change him, but nor do I really care. Since I have had this job (I started in Oct. of last year) I have only briefed twice before today since I am only an assistant instructor...and this was the first time it was a brand new class that I built and had to learn all in one week. So I don't really care what he thinks or says, because he couldn't have done it and trying to show me up just makes him look like an a$$.
And another thing...just to get it all off of my chest, he hasn't done this to just me, he has done it to the other instructors and even our guest instructors who come from outside places to come and present. And the entire class also thinks he is a jerk. OK...enough venting for now...thanks for listening...

OK, now on to other things. Jimmy called me at work and asked me to swing by the bar to see him on my way home from work. He told me he had found $9 in his pants pocket and he wanted to give it to me for dinner since he wouldn't be home for dinner. How sweet. Oh and did I tell you that he bought me 4 orange gerbera daisies the other day? Well he did and they are gorgeous. He is the best. I can't wait to hang out with him and relax a little bit tomorrow during the day.

We are still on for the 10k on Sunday with Jimmy and my co-workers. I am a little worried that I will come in last of everyone...and my coworkers who are also running are 48, 48 and 50 years old!! So keep your fingers crossed for me that I can at least not come in last. See as you know from my blog over the last 2 weeks. Work has been my life 59 hours last week 58 this week, I have not had any time to get to the gym. Except I did make it last night! :) So I might be a little rusty running...but hopefully I haven't lost it. (the last time I ran was last Monday the 7th where we ran 4.8 miles)

Tomorrow, I am sleeping in!!! I can't wait...I am kind of excited to go to bed for the shear fact that when 5am rolls around, I don't have to get up!! woohoo!!! Then I am going to clean the car a little bit, do a little yard work, GO TO THE GYM and then come home and shower and go shopping with my old college roommate Lisa. I can't wait, we are going to go shopping and to dinner. Jimmy is working at the gym and possibly at the bar tomorrow night. It would be an even greater night tomorrow night if he didn't have to work at the gym, so we can spend more time together...but if he has to, then I will survive. I will miss him, but I will be OK relaxing alone...well with the doggies :)

Sunday after the race we are going to go and hang out and grab some lunch. And then come home and get some things done around the house...and hopefully book our hotels for our trip!! :)

I hope you all have a great weekend!!

Adios :)
