Schedule conflicts...

ASLhands · 04-19-2007, 08:41 PM

So, I am a teacher and we have this thing here where we have people coming into a bunch of different schools and they write a report about the school which then determines if the school will be accredited or not. So Monday morning I walked into work and my assistant principal asked if I could be on one of these teams and go to a different school and a different district to help him with the evaluation and report writing. I guess someone had dropped out who was originally on his team. Long story short, I ended up saying yes, but felt like I kind of HAD to say yes. Anyway, my BF will be home sunday night through wednesday afternoon. I just found out I have to go to this school and write with a group of people Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Monday and Tuesday night I will apparently be working until 11 at night. Anyway, it just kills me that I won't see my BF very much while he is home. Then he goes for a 5 day block on reserve. I am so sad about it. It just frustrates me and every time I think about it, I get annoyed! I just wanted to vent. I am still getting used to this whole thing, but this is the first time our schedules REALLY conflict... Thanks for listening

this seems to always happen to me too.. lol. Like I have to work this weekend and I don't want to at all now that he is home. But it is only temporary and once its over it won't be a big deal, he'll be back!

OMG, I am so glad I am on this forum. We really all deserve a metal of honor. What we go through to get time together, on the other hand so many people I know,have hubby at home with a regular job & schedule always seem to be fighting or in conflict. I have to admit ,It would make me happy to have hubby at home everynite,but I do love my independence,and the time we have together...priceless and always good. I would prefer quality not quantity. When im at the end of my rope ,I poor a glass of wine, sit in the tub and make it a point to sleep right in the middle of the bed.I always hold up my head & take pride that I don't need a man 24/7 ......lol

I think that's what makes us a good fit with a pilot! Being an independent type has helped me!

I'm rediscovering my independence thanks to this whole pilot-as-SO adventure... and it's truly a great thing; I didn't realize how much I missed it!

Well this weekend should be fun...as I am getting off work for the holiday weekend my husband is leaving......and of course Im working extra this week due to Monday being closed....missed again...anyone doing anything TOGETHER this weekend????

Just wanted to say I feel all your pain! Hubbie is away tonight and tomorrow doing his annual sim check (OPC, not sure if it's called that in the US) -stressful, as I'm sure you know. Then he has two late flights Thursday and Friday. And guess what? I'm doing early shifts this week!

Oh, and I just got rejected from a job interview I did last week. I need a cuddle...

Unfortunately, it's just going to have to be a bath, a glass of wine and, oh yes, some ironing instead!

I wish I could take a long bath...we only have a shower. We are looking into new stuff for the bathroom...going to get a tub this summer.
