Drama, Drama, Drama!

Wow! What a bunch of drama that I have been dragged in. But first, we did tile and paint the laundry room. Two things off my list. (I feel like Earl)

Friday - At work, 2 coworkers were reprimanded for a small issue. Something we all do, they just got caught. One coworker, stood up for himself and asked to see his personnel file. He was told no and that he would have to have a formal request in writing before he could see it. Long story-short, he raised his voice (not yelling) and spoke the truth about the laws. (or so I hear, I wasn't there) He was asked to leave the office and go home for the weekend.
Monday - Both coworkers get to work and are called into the office one at a time. One coworker is written up, no big deal, just a formality. The other is sent to the central office and told not to stop by his classroom on the way out. I ran into him in the parking lot and he thought he was getting fired. Turns out, he was sent to look at his personnel file because he asked. (not a formal request in writing) Anyway, he had a sub for the day and spoke to HR about a lot of issues at our school. Things are getting pretty interesting around there. I am trying to keep my head low and stay out sight. Another teacher is talking to lawyers about harassment issues. Teachers are being told that they have formal complaints against them and they check into it and there are none. I just don't want to get "marked" this year as one of the teachers that our boss appears to be after. I want to put so much more, but I'm nervous about who could end up reading it. I am so glad I am on the opposite side of the school this year.

Drama Saturday - I was in bed, nice and warm, curled up next to my husband when the phone rang. It was 1:00a.m! My friend's boyfriend is calling. Answer with a total eat shit tone. Come up to the bar. My exwife is causing problems, blah, blah, blah. My dumbass goes. I ran into yet another friend and hell breaks loose. Friend #1 is sitting at the bar ticked off because her boyfriend is spending more time with ex than current. Little while later, I hear the bartender going off on boyfriend for harrassing his ex. I try to talk to him to keep them separated. He is continually walking up to her and saying, "Go home, Bitch!" It was crazy. So, I tell my friend to leave his ass and come home with me. She is determined to drive and I can't stop her. I decide to follow her home, she F***ing went to his house. We did pass him running down the side of the street on the way. It would have taken him like an hour if not longer to walk home. So I leave her there to talk to him, only to have her call me back to his house a few minutes later. Yeah, I know, I should have just gone home at this point. She's upset, I tell him was an ass he is. Blah, Blah.... finally, I see she's not ready to leave him yet. I decide for the benefit of my sleep, I'll patch things up between them. It worked. Both of them are so drunk that they don't even know what is happening. (Sad.) I'm getting ready to leave when suddenly her boyfriend realizes he doesn't have his house keys. Nice person that I am, I drive them to Chili's were his car is parked to pick up his keys. He begs to drive home. NO WAY! I already had them to of them safe and I am not going to deal with anything else. I wish that was just it.......
Same night, Friend #2 at bar with fiance. Friend #1 and fiance dirty dancing all over each other. Friend #2 UPSET! (with good reason) I have often wondered about Friend #2's relationship with fiance. Fiance hits on me ALL the time. I thought it was just because we were friends and maybe I was "safe" friend to flirt with or I thought, hmmm, could they be swingers? (I am SO not into that.) Well, those two weren't talking. Friend #2 earlier had me introduce her to two guys she thought were cute. She has also told other girls before that her boyfriend thought they were cute. (sounds like a pick-up line to me) Friend #1 told Friend #2(no, they really don't know each other) that her fiance was a horndog and she was crazy to marry him.

I need to call and check on Friend #2. Make sure she's still getting married and stuff. Friend #1 wants me to call her and tell her what happened. Do I tell the truth or do I make it sound better so I don't have to deal with it all over again?? Sorry to bore all of you, I just needed to get some of that out.
