On Monday, my AP came in looking very frazzled and told me I would be going to an off-site math professional development on Wednesday (today) with some other teachers. All of the teachers going have one thing in common- our principal doesn't like us and picks on us. Strangely, we were also given two hours instead of the standard hour and a half to get back to school after the PD.
Then it became clear- there was a union meeting today with our chapter leader. The topic? Mistreatment of staff by administration. And coincidentally the meeting would end twenty minutes before we were due back at school.
So from the looks of it, my principal booked a last minute PD so we couldn't tell the union about our grievances (though I heard that so many people had grievances at the meeting, they had to switch to people writing them down instead of saying them because it was taking too long).
Maybe if my principal didn't mistreat her teachers, we wouldn't have so much to tell the union.
@adirat I have no idea. She posted a couple times about it. And she already has two kids so how is it possible to not have insurance?! I was going to be a little more snarky about it but didn't want to offend anyone here who may not have insurance.
@haylsbayls@kiwi2628 Sometimes I joke about "conspiracy theory thursday" but I seriously feel like there is something afoot. Haylsbayls2 joined the same month as you @haylsbayls! What if you have a single white female thing happening? Watch out.

I just got home from work so I have a late night addition. I got to work and had a huge workload put on me , but that's not my wtf. My WTF is how many people ignore their bills! I absolutely hate calling people to hound them for money or to correct them on trying to get one over on us ( for example, one mom brings her daughter for a class every week but tells us it's a makeup class. There's no way she has a full month of makeups. She's trying to take the class for free) and when I call to get it resolved I either get no answer , no voicemail , voicemail box full, or I get to leave a message. The occasional few times people answer is when it's a legitimate mistake and they got a new card number or something like that. Please tell me why other people consistently yell at ME. I'm just doing my job of making sure things are paid and you're doing what your supposed to be doing. I'm not being nasty. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt but geez , it's not MY fault your bills aren't paid.
On top of that I was told , " yay you're 30 now! Time for another baby!" Yes , thanks A hole, we know. ::insert "bitch please" gif here::
*TW?* I always thought that Beyoncé didn't carry her first child. Today made me believe it even more now that she's KU with twins! She posted it with a picture of her bare bump and there isn't a single picture of her bare bump from her first!

@haylsbayls See I figured she did the pic today because people didn't believe her the first time! I feel bad if that's true -- how awful to feel like you have to "prove" your pregnancy to people.
@adirat also I thought they were getting divorced and so I officially believe nothing! And and and kourtney and Scott were back together but now he's with random girls in Miami. So I really believe nothing I see celebrity news anymore!

perhaps this should be saved for tomorrow's UO - but I majorly eye rolled Bey's announcement.
I think she's trying to see how ridiculous she can be and still have the beyhive defend her with that photo. What even is that.

I think Beyoncé and Pharrell's wife had IF issues and had to go through treatments. Many other celebs with multiples did. John Legend and Christy Tiegen have been open about their struggles too. Maybe UO - it makes me feel a little better to know that celebs are humans too and even all the money in the world can't necessarily get you pregnant and it sure can't prevent MC

@NYTino24 I agree! I love that Chrissy Teigan is so open about it. I did think that Beyoncé had treatments and that's why she's having twins. Also so many of the real housewives have had treatments/IVF/surrogates/adopt which always makes me feel better than no amount of money can make it happen naturally for you.
Also I meant no shame towards Beyoncé if she did have a surrogate carry her first, my point was that it's a conspiracy theory since it was very well thought it and covered up.
Me: 28 | DH: 33 EDD: March 24, 2018 - angel baby at 21 weeks
Yeah...while the picture isn't my aesthetic for sure, I find it hard to begrudge her whatever kind of pregnancy announcement she wanted.
[spoiler]This is a tenuous connection so I won't be offended if you don't believe me, but I know someone who knew someone who went to the same fertility clinic in Manhattan as Beyonce, and the rumors are that she experienced RPL Lemonade has lyrics that kind of corroborate this? So like all women who lived through RPL I say you gotta do you. [/spoiler]

@jsnakehole Whoa! That is totally unacceptable! Can you contact your union separate from the meeting to complain about this?
Also I learned when tagging you that there is now a haylsbayls2? I immediately thought omg there's a catfish stealing haylsbayls's name!

@nytino24 @haylsbayls Maybe it's because you guys are so great and people want to copy you.
