Tissue thief!

I am now considered a tissue thief! I go caught by one of the 1st grade teachers, and she was PISSED. I apologized and went to ask another teacher for tissues. I did tell my admin about the issue, and they just said **** it and just take it because I don't get supplies from students like they do and we should all share as much as we can. I might ask for a shipment of tissues, but usually the Kinder and 1st grade has a huge stockpile of good tissues and I usually take them... at the end of the day.

Just wanted to rant.

I'm blessed to work with a great group of teachers and a great small community!!! Every year, during Nurse's Week, the committee in charge of staff celebrations, etc., will ask different classes to bring a different thing that I use on a frequent basis: small paper cups; Saltine crackers; peppermints; Band-aids; bottled water. It's wonderful because I don't have to use my account funds for those things :)

This made me laugh, lol good gravy. My youngest teacher this year gave us back the tissues, paper towels, sanitizer, glue, map colors and ziploc bags because she had so many from last year. That was like half the dang supply list, but thankfully stuff we can use at home. I would so bring you my three boxes if I could!! Kinda glad I work in the hospital, no one wants those cardboard tissues.

That's kinda what I used to get from the school, but I honestly rather get from the teachers than that because the ones from the teachers are the good ones, and not make a kid's nose to bleed.

But it's fine. lol
