Welcome to Monday

Monday.....ugh!
Not too bad, I guess. I was supposed to get a fish for work this weekend, and I just couldn't do it. We had this huge discussion Wednesday about getting a fish and I was uncomfortable because I didn't want to be left responsible for the darn thing. One of my co-workers said she'd take the responsibilty to feed it, clean the water, etc, and it should be ok. It was the whole, "if it dies, then it dies" comments that made me uncomfortable. Fish can live like 2 years....they were all talking about this fish like we would have it and HOPEFULLY it will die in a week or two so we don't have to take care of it. I just couldn't do that. "It's just a fish." No, it's an animal, a pet, something that you just don't put out and maybe take care of. I told them I'd feel better setting up a full tank, with several fish, that can be at the kid's level so we don't have to stress one fish out by moving the tank to the table every day so the kids can see it for a little. BLAH! Then I had to tell another co-worker that we couldn't have the climber in the room cuz I don't want to get fired. Our Fearless Leader said she didn't think it was safe (we all disagree....but whatever) so we removed it. She didn't tell anyone else in the center, so someone else set it up in the muscle room. I just couldn't say, "sure" have Fearless Leader come in and me get slapped with insubordination again. At least my co-worker understood and said she'd talk with Fearless Leader. And don't even get me started on the Christmas program!!!
OY! I just sound like a bitch, don't I? I'm not...just a control freak :)
