So I am proud to say that I am now a paraprofessional at the Fort Riley Middle School starting today. I went in and did my first day of in processing (which was a giant pile of paperwork) this morning. I report for my first day tomorrow. YAHHH... right.
Knowing this, I woke up excited and a little nervous. I knew that I would be fine, but it was the principal of the matter. 5 am, I was up and adam.... ok well though the alarm was set for 515, I finally rolled out of bed at 525. That's beyond the point though. I get ready get the kids to the babysitters.... after noticing was tire was practically flat. I get to the air pump in the next town, because if you live here at Fort Riley, you also know that no one has any respect for the air hoses here and even the new ones are always out of order. I was able to get air in there and make my way to the building I was to be at by 8 am.
I was a little bit early, so I opened my pepsi.... BAM.... all over me and my truck! A whole entire puddle inside, I think I could have went for a swim. Actually, I did in a way. Oh, did I mention that part where I was wearing white pants? Yeah. So.... I have no spare pants.... because well I forgot that I was that big of a Klutz. Other option? Race the clock back to my house and change. So I did! Yeah... so the good news is I made it. 2 mins till 8 am I was walking in the door with new pants on and feeling better about the day. What more can go wrong, after the morning I had already had. RIGHT?!!?!?
Haha well, the rest of my paperwork process went well. Which was a relief all in itself. BUT THEN.... I get home and start to clean out the truck for this morning's wonderful experience. 400$ Dyson vacuum just stops as I am vacuuming it out. Stops. There was nothing wrong with it... just stops. FINE, I was already frustrated and just wanting it to be over. By god's grace I kept my cool, went in and got the other vacuum. Put the other one way and start all over. 10 Mins in... DONE, it also just quit. REALLY.... I am so ready to for this to be done, and if this is any insight on how working life is going to be, I am not so sure I am all that excited anymore.
Praying for a better day tomorrow.
