Could u work with this kind of crazy in charge DOOZY UPDATE

She won't be there today...she is letting me in and turning off the alarm and then leaving.
It is my cell phone they will be texting/calling.
Both myself and the principal spent all day yesterday trying to tell her this did not work for me....
She just likes "being in charge".

She will probably watch the security footage....and the alarm to the door near me is not unarmed....
Then, when I got here...there is an A/C van blocking the drive where we told the parents to pull in!
So now I have to walk out to the parking lot.
Crazy just came in to give me the reasons why not to use my door.

1. Its not a good turn, someone ran into one of the brick columns earlier this year....so they don't want people using it.

2. She is trying to limit the areas she has to "clean and disinfect".

Then went on to say "there are just so many reasons...."

So far one parent arrived at 12:40....(email said between 1 and 3....)
Then two parents came between 1 & 1:15.

Crazy just came to me to explain her reasoning and asked...are you done? Did everyone come already? lol....
Duh.....no? We have more than three kids on meds......

So when we set up the two days for parents to come and get the medications, crazy said that if anyone could not make it on those days/times that she is up there almost every day anyways so those parents could schedule another time with her if they needed to.
OK...we did have three or so parents who did not come Mon or Tues.
Last night one of the parents wanted to know if she could today and I told her I would check.
Crazy said no, she had a meeting today..ask if she could come next week. But first she asked me "Why couldn't they come Mon or Tues?"
I didn't ask them why?!?! Does it matter? Is that a stipulation for whether you will meet them or not? smh.....
So this morning I got a text and crazy said she would be at school today after all between 12:30 and 2:30 if the parent wanted to come then.
I let the parent know. When I got the text from the parent saying she would be there soon, I texted crazy to make sure she was still there and to alert her to expect the mom shortly.
She texts back...."Where is the medication?"
Uh.....its in the medication file cabinet.....like where you went in on Monday to get the meds for that one mom who got there at 12:40 (before I got there)? Remember doing that? Same place....

A few new stories....

1. Stories about money:

We are doing summer school. Payment for the classes was due by March 1st. One of the parents mailed a check several weeks ago but it had not yet arrived according to "crazy" (she checks the mail every day).
So I called the parent Tuesday to get more information because the principal would not buy the license for the student if it had not yet been paid. Parent checked and the check had not been cashed, so she met me at the school and personally gave me another check.

Now, I had been asking crazy several times a week if she had received any payments I needed to know about. She always denied getting anything.
Welp....I met crazy at the school the next morning...and lo and behold she has a crumpled envelope for me. Its the check that had been mailed out weeks before. Claims it just came!
Yeah...right....

Since she had been denying getting any other payments, I contacted another parent who brings in cash installments every other week for her very behind tuition balance. She told me she had brought $500 to "crazy" last week.
Okay.....so I asked crazy again if she had any payments. And told her the mom told me she had brought her money (I didn't say when)..."Yes! she just brought it!"
sigh.....

Then there was another family whose last payment via FACTS had bounced, so they had sent a check back in April. Crazy claims it, too, never arrived.
So around May 18th the family had another check sent, this time via their banks service.
I have been asking every two days if crazy received it. Nope...not in today's mail was always the response.
Today when I went in to school to do some work in the office, she comes to me with an envelope. Its the check. A bank check dated May 18th. It also "just arrived".....

I swear there is a big old pile of mail lost somewhere in crazy's house.

2. Stories about teacher inservice day.

Today was a previously scheduled in service day. The teachers all showed up today to clean out their rooms, ect.
Apparently, via a zoom meeting with the principals and other administration, crazy had said for teachers to stagger when they arrived, so as not to have everyone there at the same time.
This is what was communicated to the teachers and they made their plans accordingly. The school would be open from 9 to 3.

Well....today around 10, crazy asked the elementary principal why all of her teachers were not there? The principal reminded her that she had wanted them to stagger when they got there, so some were coming in later through the day.

Apparently crazy had changed her mind. Now she wants them all there at the same time. Uhhhhhh.....lol The prinicpal was like "but you said.....look, I even wrote it down...." Crazy wanted her to contact the teachers and tell them to come in now.
Principal even called one of the other admin staff and he verified that she had wanted them to stagger...and said he still had a copy of the zoom meeting if she wanted to replay it for crazy! lol

Also during the zoom meeting crazy had said that the teachers should get their bulletin boards ready for when we return. So the teachers were all getting them set up.
Then crazy decides, no....they should leave the bulletin boards empty (for what ever crazy reason.....I didn't hear that part).
So then the principal has to tell them to undo everything they had done!
She was not pleased about having to do that!

As for me....I was supposed to be scanning all of the preschool and kindergarten progress and report cards, emailing them to parents, and then uploading them onto the student records.
Well, that would have been much easier if the scanner was working!
I told crazy about the scanner so she could see about having it fixed (she had told the principal earlier that the printer/scanner settings were all messed up).
She fiddled with it, but in the end I had to use my phone to scan all the stuff, email it to myself, then download the scans as pdfs, then email them and upload to the student records.
It made for a very tedious procedure and I was so happy to finally leave that place~

I didn't even get a chance to delve into the message on my phone from a past student who apparently needs a copy of his diploma from 2014....(we don't keep copies of diplomas)
I think I'll let crazy handle that one!

Crazy and her sister are trying to figure out my summer hours today.
I have a long list of things to do already, but I'm not starting on them until I know what the deal is.
They agreed to 10 hours a week and they want me to physically work in my office at school (not from home) for those 10 hours a week so that I can help the admissions director answer the door and phone.
They are thinking a Tue/Wed/Thur schedule for me to go in.
So here it is Monday, and I have a long list of final grades to input and a list of AP and Dual Credit grades to input, and a list of final senior transcripts to prepare to mail out.....and I have to wait until tomorrow to go into the office and work on them.
Then, each week they want me to submit what I did so that they can adjust the hours up or down depending on how many I actually need to work.
They do not understand that the work is variable. A lot depends on what kind of emails and requests from teachers or principals or parents that I get. Some weeks may be more...some less. The less weeks I will fill in with immunization records, setting up files, filing, spreadsheet updating, ect.
Ugh....I could easily work more than 10 hrs/week.
The worse part is sitting here at home looking at the emails pile up and not following up on anything until tomorrow. It kills me!

Ahhh...and now she is trying to put the blame on J......but J. says he suggested a 3/4/3 schedule. But crazy is trying to tell me that J. and her decided to go with the 3/3/2 schedule because "we don't have many students"....
They are having a small class of summer camp at the school that J. will be there for. J. suggested the 3/4/3 schedule based on when he would need help with the phone and doors while he was helping with the campers.
The things I will be in the office doing (other than helping with phone and doors) does not have anything to do with the campers so I don't see where she pulled that crap about the small number of students having anything to do with how many hours I needed to be there....and then trying to put the blame on J. for cutting me back 2 hours!
