It's clicking but not running...

Well, after a somewhat challenging day at work I was welcomed to the surprise of my car not starting. The radio turned on the auto locks worked, but boy it was not running! It was clicking but not wanting to even start. Oh well, I did get some really great time with a couple other teachers over coffee.

Today, was well, a challenge. Not just with the students but with my corrections officer. Whenever she is in my room behaviors shoot through the roof and little home work gets done. Today was no different! The worst was when I came back, after having to cover someone else's classroom on the other side of the building (about 7 security doors away) she got kind of saucy with me. When she is in the room I would rather just have no one, because it is about the same but she reels the students up. Thus, she made my day more of a hell but not being there to be supportive and not helping one bit. It isn't cool when I need my computer and she is sitting in front of it reading a magazine. Then when I tell her I need to find something for someone she acts all offended and then doesn't monitor the students. She is rude to students who act differently because of a disability and just puffs up and gets mad about it. Grr...I should say she clicks but doesn't help the classroom run.
