Work Meme

I figured this was fitting since I'm technically still at work. I have to stay up here for open house tonight at 7:00. It seemed kind of pointless to drive all the way home and then back shortly after. And it's a waste of gas. So here's the work meme courtesy of some other blogs.

The Work Meme: (I answered these questions based on the workplace and not my job itself... that would be an entirely different set of answers.)

1. What is the best thing about your workplace?
As far as the place itself... I guess I have a pretty good room. It's old, but bigger than most other rooms and I have 9 computers although only about 7 of them work. I also have a large storage area (although half of it is taken up STILL by the business dept's stuff) Also, there are some very nice people here (although I still don't know a lot of them very well) and my students are really great most of the time. I'm glad that my principal doesn't intimidate me like my previous principal. Generally the principals and staff are very supportive.
2. What do you hate about your workplace?
My parking spot could be closer. (But it could also be a lot farther) I hate how we can't do any of our own copying. I don't like the carpet in my room.
3. What small irritance at your workplace really annoys you?
Sometimes the air conditioning works, sometimes it doesn't. When it does, it's usually too cold, but I'm afraid to complain or they'll "fix" it and it won't work at all. Not having a printer in my room is also up there on the list.
4. Describe the actions/quirks of the weirdest person you work with.
There aren't very many quirky people that work around me (at least that I've discovered so far)... but I guess I will mention my car pool buddy. She's very nice, but she talks a lot. A lot. She also sometimes gets to my house 10-15 minutes early which makes me feel like I have to rush - which I hate. She also has many various health issues that she talks about daily. Sometimes I find myself in that place when she's saying something that I have no idea what she's talking about and I do the "uh-huh", "I'm sure", or "I see" response and nod my head as though I were paying attention or understood.
5. What is one thing that you would change at your workplace to make life a helluva lot better?
Have more computers and all of them work. Have a printer in my room. Honestly, I have a pretty sweet deal this year. Four of my classes have the good, smart, mostly hard working students in them. One class is a regular comm. app. class but it only has 15 students. Then I have two conference periods which coincide with lunch. I have a TA that helps with menial jobs. I really can't do much complaining.
