I'm a terrible person
From my blog (and yes, I still feel awful).
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So here's a recap of my day...
Pick up Thom and Lisa for carpool this morning. Thom, I pick up at his house, and Lisa, from our normal spot. I look around for Bette, but don't see her. Lisa gets into the car and tells us that Bette's father just died this morning, so she won't be joining us.
Fast forward to the school day. Blech. Freshmen are going to kill me. I have one who is testing at a 2nd grade reading level because he keeps blowing off the test: "But I'm really trying hard," he says. Riiiiggghhht. That's why it took you less than 2 minutes to finish the test - for the third time. While I watched you just click your merry way through it. Then I find out that because I was gone on Tuesday, the newspaper didn't get taken down on time. And won't be in this week's paper. Argh!! Then I try to do something awesome in class, using a pretty darn cool website, if I do say so myself, that I've used for the past four years. Get to class. Website is gone. Totally. No links, nothing. Nothing that my class can use. Dammit! Now they need to just come up with something on their own. Not nearly as cool.
So then school is finally over. Thom and I get ready to leave and head out the door. One of the paras asks me, "Isn't Lisa going with you?" and I answer, "No. She must be getting home some other way," thinking that she is headed to KC tonight. Thom and I make it to the Manhattan exit (halfway home) when his cell phone rings. We left Lisa in the lurch. That's right. Just left her at school. She was supposed to ride home with us. She had no other way of getting to Manhattan. I was her ride. And I LEFT her.
So I turned the car around and went back to pick her up. The para is outside, waiting to tell me, "I told you so!"
Now I feel awful times two. What a jerk am I????
Re: I'm a terrible person
That was an honest "oops!" I would feel awful, too, but it is easily forgivable and forgotten!
