A Change Is Gonna Come

So I'm sick. No fun at all. That's what makes work suck more.

This week, I have worked a bunch:

32.5 hours as an Instructor Assistant at Eau Gallie High School
10.5 hours as a Bus Attendant for Brevard County Public Schools
10.0 hours as a companion/respite care for ARC of Brevard
__________
53.0 hours

53 hours worked this week (which doesn't include last Saturday or tomorrow). I should have a car in no time, if I can save my money.

Have you noticed that you usually get sick about a week after I get over being sick? Suspicious.

I got my student loan statement...happy graduation to Sarah. Teach me your saving ways, oh frugal one...

Jeff Watkins said...

Do you really think I am frugal? I think, 'deal-seeker' would be a better title. I never realized I get sick after you.

Joe Kennedy said...

changing coming? like what? a car?

Sarah said...

It's true, but I never realized it till I read your post last night.

Oh, I have a new boyfriend. He's got blonde hair and green eyes and and his name is Jackson...he's the seven year-old I babysat today who told his friend/soccer buddy that I was his girlfriend AND his babysitter...haha.

Joe Kennedy said...

i don't think that's ok, sarah. not at all.

Sarah said...

Joe, I told you I attract an odd assortment of guys...Jackson just likes me because I read him Goosebumps books at bedtime. It won't last.

Jeff, you should see a doctor, and I'm not talking about for your sickenss....a bus attendant?!? Well, that isn't New Orleans, so I don't guess you have to worry about getting jacked as much. But if it was this bus, I think even John Lennon would be proud...floating in space with a gay talking turtle, and a 13 year old strung out on crack flying it...

the swanky school bus

Sarah said...

Blaize, that's the MAGIC school bus...and the driver is Mrs. Frazzle, not some 13 year-old strung out on crack! Goodness gracious, didn't you ever watch public television as a kid?? Being a bus attendant on that bus would be an INCREDIBLE job...you get to go to the depths of the ocean AND outerspace all in the same episode!

Jeff Watkins said...

Okay, everyone, stop! It was just a yellow normal school bus. There wasn't one driver, there were many, as I rode different buses different days. The one bus driver's bus I rode the most was Bob. That's it. Let's forget The Who, The Magic School Bus, and anything else. :)

Sarah said...

(Jeff's just jealous that he doesn't get to ride the Magic School Bus) And hey, how did The Who get dragged into this??

Jeff Watkins said...

*Shakes head*

If you don't know, I can't help you. Go google "the who and magic bus."

Sarah said...

Don't shake your head at the fact that you made a far-stretched connection to a drug-condoning song and I'm just to innocent to have made that connection. What sort of example are you setting for the youngsters, hmm?

Jeff Watkins said...

You, of all things, are not "to [sic] innocent."

And the connection, albeit not commonly known, was not a far stretch either. If you are the music buff you claim to be, you would know such a reference. You, however, did not know it. You're really starting to let me down. :)

Sarah said...

FOR THE RECORD, I've always said I'm not as cool as you think I am. Pete Townsend just never did it for me.

And look who's fighting to become the Keeper of All Grammar. Watch yourself, I don't think you'd look so great in the cape...you don't have my bone structure.

Jeff Watkins said...

BY THE BY, your coolness wasn't ever dependent upon your musical knowledge. I enjoyed conversing with you about it, but your ability to be cool enjoys excelling in other facets of life, not just audiophile.

Also, there are three other members of The Who, not just Pete.

Is this better? No concern for spelling or grammer was considered in typing this comment.

And I'd look damn fine in that cape, thank you. My bone structure is fab.

Sarah said...

Your disregard for spelling and "grammer" was made quite obvious in you last comment, Mr. Watkins. Your angst and sarcasm was also noted. A memo shall be placed in your file in case the need for a record of this should arise at a later date. Thank you for your concern and have a good day.

back to the bus...

I think you are cool for wanting to be a bus attendant on the magic school bus. Why is it Magic? and what the heck is a lady named "Mrs. Frazzle" driving it for? And what is the lizard's name? And wht does it have all the psychadelic inuendos all over it? I bet the beatles preformed Lucy in the Sky of Diamonds with that bus in mind.

Sarah said...

Blaize, Blaize, Blaize, Blaize...I'm shaking my head at you right now. First off, "Lucy in the Sky WITH Diamonds" has nothing to do with drugs...it's a song that came from three year-old Julian Lennon's drawing of his friend Lucy. Check out the wikipedia article if you don't believe me http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_in_the_Sky_with_Diamonds

Secondly, Mrs. Frazzle is the teacher that uses the Magic School Bus to teach her students in interesting an inovative ways. I'm sad for you that you missed out on The Magic School Bus as a kid...maybe you should hunt down some reruns to make up for it...
