For everyone's information... My boss / colleague is slightly nuts. Yep.
I will only work 30 hours for two more weeks after this one. Then it is 20 hours a week for me, and not at said school library (at least not that much). Not many hours. And not many weeks left where I work a bit longer days.
She asked me to write down what I'd done this term with the kids, and I did. At which point she asks me why I haven't done anything with two of the classes... that she hasn't told me that I was supposed to do anything with... and we'll also have one more story time with the smaller kids... She brightly tells me to have story times with the bigger kids to. (8-9 years old.) So I go to find one, and finds a nice picture book about Robin Hood, makes me happy and I grin a bit when I read it, telling her that this is a great version of Robin Hood for kids. Inspired she starts to talk about me having MORE story times with more kids...
Did I mention I have TWO WEEKS left!! TWO WEEKS! And I am supposed to keep the library open to! GEEZES! She could have mentioned this a bit earlier one might think... *shakes head* She means well, she does, and she loves doing tons of extra for these kids and have trouble understanding when I say I do what I am supposed to do and what I have time for...
I don't even wanna know how many extra unpaid hours she puts in... Not to mention she buys flowers, table clothes and curtains and shit to the library using her own money... To say she is very engaged in those kids and that school would be an understatement.
And now she might take another job and leave that place. I don't think it matters WHO gets that job after her, it'll be HELL for that person...
