I cannot sleep at all and my whole body hurts. It would be nice to be able to sleep and perhaps I will try again soon once this is finished.
Work tomorrow: I don't want to call in because I'm planning on quiting soon and I want to go out on at least a mediocre note, which although unlikely, may still be possible. However, I have been up most of the night at this point and it's not really safe to lead children through freezing cold weather along a major thoroughfare at rush-hour (EVER!) when you haven't had sleep. Really, I'm not comfortable with doing that at all, and even before the lack of sleep happened I was considering calling my boss and telling her I needed to meet them at the field trip location because I didn't want child death on my conscience when a winter hat blew off a three-year-old and she ran into the road to get it, was hit by a hummer and rushed to the hospital, which took over an hour due to it being 20 miles away and rush-hour.
Then there's that "I'm not a monitor, I'm a music teacher" business. I am convinced she will have me just covering people's breaks tomorrow afternoon, and I plan on telling her, straight up, that it's not my job. Unless I call in. With no good excuse. Except that I'm tired.
Oh, bah! Thinking about this is just going to keep me up even longer!
In unrelated news. . .On the NaNoWriMo front I've started writing my MMC in first person in the form of his Journal. Why can I never stick with one POV? Even if I don't use it in the final version, it's at least helping me get a handle on his past, his personality and his character in general. And it's fun. He's angsty. And i'm pretty angsty right now. As if you couldn't tell.
But what to do? I am indecisive. And we'll see how it all shakes out. Perhaps I'll just tell my boss I need to leave after the field trip because I didn't think I'd be needed and made an appointment for then.
Quick, I'd better make an appointment!
