So today we were shorthanded, again. Down 2 backyard Hens. One got a sub, the other didn't. It's hard to find people to cover such a small amount of time, especially in the morning. Yes, I am aware it's a double standard.
The sub was supposed to cover crossing but since that can be a treacherous job, we all shifted so an experienced Hen took that spot, I covered hers which was monitoring the drop-off lines, and the sub took my spot watching the chicks.
Parents are rude. Not all, but a lot. We have some wonderful parents who get it and some not so wonderful ones who don't. I have never been out directing the drop-off traffic before but I know that they are only supposed to drop-off in the yellow zone. The didn't, I nicely but loudly said they needed to drop off in the 'yellow zone only'and the lady looks at me and through her closed window said something about then the kids would be late...given her facial expression I don't think she was trying to be nice about it. It's funny how to them we are all one entity. It's also funny how she's more concerned about her kids being late than she is about them being safe. Just doin' my job lady. Trying to get 900+ kids to the right place at the right time, alive and well. I am not sure these parents truly appreciate the challenge we face every morning.
Smile and wave. Smile and wave. Smile and wave.
