loracs | only day two

End of fiscal year stuff all over my desk
22 kids in arts program
one "accidental" toaster oven left on and burning fimo figures died - terrible smell
enough clay on the bathroom floor and doors to make a small statue
blue paint foot prints in one classroom complete with glitter and glue
one "dropping" of a cutting blade left shallow gash in child's leg
one staff person called in sick, but we suspect a possible harassing boyfriend problem
no janitor today

staff person on the other side of our facility (we're all one but different programs) takes a swing at another staff person - did I say they are both "security" folks? Police called a total of 3 times today on same individual. There were threats of further violence and hints at guns being involved. I think my boss might be ready to quit and he's only been here since Nov. 1, 2005.

And I had my meeting with him to go over my yearly evaluation, which was very good.

but the day . . . was not so good

Last child left, I'm locking the doors and going to hide in my office. Maybe I'll listen to the cd that the aforementioned violent staff person gave me yesterday. He just produced it and it's rap/funk/lazy summer/take your lady out kind of music or at least that's how he's described it to me.
