Dear Diary,
This morning was
my bank morning in St Augustine. I saw Shaun there while waiting. One person
was in front of us, and they were taking a long time to do the process. I took
the time working on lesson twenty-three. There were a few questions available
to give the children without reading any from the handbook.
During my
process of applying, the lady said, "It is a savings account you'll be
getting. So, you'll be fifteen dollars maintenance." I was very baffled
and asked her what maintenance had entailed. After bluffing and not knowing
what to say, she responded, "It just means that we're taking fifteen
dollars out of your account." I wanted to ask her to replace the word
taking with the word stealing. It was surprising that Daddy didn't know about
this. I wanted to cancel the application once.
We went to
Massy's after, and there was no guard to hold down the lockers up front. I didn't
like that. Vangy gave us a call looking for the oxygen tank. She gave me a joke
about going into the bank. She was deciding whether to continue working like
me. We both ended up deciding to go to work. Daddy bought me a pie in Curepe to
go with the stuff we bought in Massy's.
One maxi was waiting
to cross while I waited. A taxi driver said that it was a good one to go in
because it was empty, he said to himself. The walk down was a little fast.
Teachers were already eating. I had my lunch, and lunchtime came quickly. I had
some fun doing aerobics today. Mrs Santana was in her workout clothing and had
her blue bandanna on her head. I stood in the back to see the instructor
properly. It was someone much different from last week's Wednesday. I finished
the whole practice session.
Three 3M
students spoke with me about the session. They looked tired. For me, I was
feeling the pain, but ready to go again. I got my water in the staffroom and
then went to the office to cool off afterwards with my tray. There was not much
to do except clean up the front desk. There was a big box of paper and other
things that Patty had asked me to clear out. Instead of using the office bin,
she gave a big, clean bag. Candice and Miss Ali cleared out early. Only Patty
and I remained there until 6:00 PM.
I remained
cleaning out the office desk, and she was cleaning out the Principal's Office. A
few times here and there, it had letters I took over to her, which were
addressed to the Principal or Asha. Thankfully, the internet was back on to
play music while I went through the desk drawers. It was disgusting going
through all of them. There were a lot of letters that needed to be sorted out.
There was another box of lost and found that Miss cleared out. I took two empty
ice cream buckets to wash out and put the lost items in them. The smaller one I
put the jewellery in, and the other was for phones and calculators.
Just before we
left, she had asked me if I had made the prints. Miss said that she can forward
the PDFS to the MMT team, and the copies would be for those who would prefer to
see the real thing. This evening, it was nice to meet her husband on the ride
up home. I was in pain from skidding from the door into the door, and the handle
squished my left wrist.
I got dinner out
of the way when I got in. Seven paintings were done tonight. I almost ended up
falling asleep at my desk in the gallery. From 8 to 12, I was outside. It took
a long time to write up my timesheet. I also had the printed forms to sort out.
Couldn't do much again. I was hoping to make two more forms for the night, but
the strength was no longer there. I hope there won't be much pain in my legs in
the morning after all that aerobics.
