Well, I couldn't get through the week without upsetting Monkey Poop again. All I did was tell her that my classroom fridge is not for public use now that there is a fridge in the lounge down the hall. She blew a gasket. She said I told her that she could use my fridge and drink the water I provided for myself. I didn't. She has a different perspective on things than the rest of the world. In fact that is one of the things she reminds me of whenever we disagree.
So, I guess I am supposed to see things from her point of view? I certainly will not. So far, she has alienated just about all of the administrative staff at our school. Now I guess she is working on the team.
Trust me when I say I am being very careful around her. She should have been told off many times over but because I am the team leader, I am trying to see things from a bigger perspective. If this had been just a few years ago, (before Zolof) I would have made her crawl under her chair to hide from me. Now I am just letting her dig her OWN hole and I will have the pleasure of filling it in over top of her.
I get tired of the games she is playing. I call it "The Poor Little Me" game. She wants everyone to think she is being picked on and it isn't her fault when she blows up and makes a fool of herself. She has so many excuses for her poor judgement that someone could write a medical book about her case.
I know I am complaining about her here. But here is a way better place than at school. I try to keep things as professional as I can there. After her response to my complaint, I finally went into her room and talked to her as if nothing happened and so she let it drop with a comment about having a headache all day long. Funny, I have a pain in my behind but I don't tell her off for that.
However, I will really try hard to maintain a professional stance and see what happens. She will eventually do something and I probably won't be able to control my self and I will tell here off. I hope it doesn't come to that. I hope she quits like she did her other teaching job before I lose my temper.
