#CYA is the mantra I live by

[totallyjustabunchofhocuspocus]

I think someone legit tried to throw me under the bus at work today :-/

So my school does the Elks Lodge essay contest every year, and usually our Social Studies teacher handles it even tho I'm the ELA teacher because the theme is always some (frustratingly vague and at least jingoism adjacent) variation of "America is the best country ever!" so it fits in with their curriculum, and I just provide support. But anyway, she's really stressed out this year (we all are, but she's got other stuff going on), so I said I'd handle it solo.

And the due date is December 15th. That's when the essays have to be dropped off. Fine. So we write, we revise, I develop twelve new ulcers when multiple upper elementary students tell me they don't know how to spell their parents' names or what their addresses are as we fill out the cover sheets. So I figure, fuck it, I'll take them all home tonight and fill out the forms with missing info, then just drop them off at the Elks Lodge Saturday.

So, imagine my surprise when people start calling down to my classroom (AT ONE PM MIND YOU) that they need the essays cause someone's coming to pick them up at the end of the day today. Uh, what? Sorry bruh, according to my paperwork I still have 48 hours to get sixty five essays stapled to their cover sheets.

"Oh, but Ms. HocusPocus, didn't you read your email? The date was moved up! We told you this a week ago!"

um, no the fuck you didn't.

So, I'm sure the date was changed a week ago, but someone didn't forward me the email (accidentally I'm sure), but they sure the fuck on purpose tried to act like I'm not reading critical district communications in a timely fashion. :-/ Fortunately, I've been noting my plans for how I was turning in the essays in our team meeting notes for two weeks, which our principal signed off on as acknowledged, and I never delete emails sent to me with specific instructions, so I was able to reply to the email with the old date and CC everybody that this was my last communication on the matter.

Then, because I am a petty bitch, I threw an independent extra credit assignment on Google Classroom, and got those fuckers filled out and stapled in record time anyway.

Fuckin' AUDACITY, I swear.

This ❤️💝❤️ • @bibleyogini One of the constants I've experienced so far during my 2 1/2 days of #yogafaith hands-on immersion teacher certification is inhaling more of Jesus and exhaling me- my will, my plans, my ego. It's not about me. It's all about Him. In my honesty, I will share that when I first saw this background upon arrival, I envisioned myself doing an ambitious pose such as crane or splits in front of it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with those poses, and if and when God leads me to practice and post those poses again, great...but not today. We've been talking today about the intention of the heart and to do all that we do to the glory of God. As the background says, our mantra is Jesus first, yoga second. Today I choose to offer my body as a living sacrifice, putting aside my ego, my selfish desire to be admired for something "amazing" that my body can do. The truth is that the most amazing thing my body can do is the primary thing it was created to do... worship. . . . #Jesusfirstyogasecond #Christianyoga #Christianyogi #yoga #yogini #yogaministry #yogajourney #trueworshipper #heartcheck #intentionality #mindfulness #praise #cya #yogafaith #teachertraining #yogafaithChicago2019 #chicagoyoga (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxu29iylf67/?igshid=1j60xgb3x8xcc
