Spring Break has begun!!!
And I'm still gainfully employed!!!
I'm assuming that anyone who was being let go would be notified before Spring Break and I got through the whole day without being passed a pink slip. Hurray!!! I kind of found out on Tuesday though that I wasn't getting the boot. I was talking to one of the girls who got fired and she told me how the process went- they made a list of when people were hired and cut right off the bottom. But... I'm on the bottom. The very very low bottom. Like, last. When she got called in for her "meeting" they showed her the list, and then said "But we're skipping over Nicole because she teaches Spanish" and then basically said thanks for your 2 years of impeccable teaching, go find a new job. Of course as she was telling me this story with tears in her eyes I felt like the world's most gigantic asshole. I mean, technically it should have been me in that meeting. Thankfully I'm certified to teach a subject area that's in high demand. So... I'm safe for now.
Gracias a Dios que hablo espanol!
Speaking of getting fired... only 2 episodes left of The Apprentice!!! It was a sad sad day in my household last Thursday when our beloved Troy got the boot. My mom and I were really rooting for the good ol' country boy. Sure, he lacked come of the panache necessary to run a Trump corporation but he was so darn nice and cute! But now, we must soldier on without him. So now I have to go with my #2 boy, Kwame. I really loved the Troy/Kwame alliance so I'm glad to see that at least half of my favorite squad is still in the running. He better make it to the final!!! And I better freaking find a TV in Cancun so I can watch that shit!!! Could you imagine if I devoted 14 weeks of my life to being obsessed with this show and I missed the season finale??? I think I'd have a heart attack!
Speaking of which, when did it become such a production getting ready to go on vacation??? First off, I've bought brand new everything just to go away for 6 days. Then there's tanning, highlights, pedicures, manicures, waxing... not to mention packing! This is just another instance in my life where a personal assistant would be soooooooooooooo useful. Does Mr. Bentley have a brother or something? (Cause it's definitely gotta be a man servant.) I really can't deal with this whole packing ordeal.
4 days till I step on a plane :o)
But before then... more shopping, dog fashion show (2nd year in a row!), Easter... oh what a lame life I lead!
