Validated & Cookies

written: Jan 20th

Today’s #cy365 photo challenge is My Neighborhood…..which I did have intentions of doing….but the day just go away from me. Maybe I’ll do it another day? Who knows…. ::chuckles::

So instead, I went with a photo of my Girl Scout Cookie Stash that I got today:

So, yeah. Two boxes of Thinmints (one for me and one to share), a box of Tagalongs (hub’s), and a box of their new S’mores cookies. Honestly, I had such high hopes for the S’mores, but they are just meh. Not bad, but definitely not great…and seeing as how they’re a dollar more than the other cookies? Yeah, won’t be getting them again.

Carli and Alison were both out today due to illnesses, so we got a sub. And honestly, I was more stand-off-ish than usual, just because, I didn’t know if this sub was a spy for the Boss.

Turns out, she wasn’t. And she had a LOT of insight into the Boss.

Apparently, I am NOT being singled out for punishment here. Almost ALL of the other campuses are dealing with the same bullshit that we are getting. Which, while it’s nice to know it isn’t just me, it does make the situation worse, because this is just how the Boss is apparently. ::grumbles::

This sub was awesome. Love, love, LOVE Vallery. She has worked our after school program both as an aide and as a supervisor…but she was lucky and was in the East Zone under Jesse. ::sighs:: Jesse is awesome. I worked with him one summer (summer camp) and loved working with him. When I heard he’d landed one of the zone leader positions I was so hopeful he would be on the West….but, alas, I got saddled with Gail instead. But apparently a LOT of the other campus leaders are super fed up with Gail and are lodging complaints with Kelly (the boss above Gail, who used to be my direct boss).

So, all of that to say, it was amazing to be completely validated by Vallery. Our campus isn’t the only one that hates Gail. And we aren’t the only ones sitting here scratching our heads as she constantly changes the rules of game on us, and then gets PISSED off at us for not magically knowing the new rules. Geez, fuck that bitch.

But yeah. All of this to say, Girl Scout Cookies saved the week. I haven’t bought Girl Scout Cookies in ages, so when one of my students inquired if I liked Girl Scout Cookies…..I POUNCED. Hell yeahs, I want some Girl Scout Cookies!

So, thank goodness for Girl Scout Cookies. It was the only redeeming quality of the entire damn week.
