My classroom is a disaster.
No other explanation. Pre-planning has been completely filled with meetings. Mostly informative, I guess, so not a waste, but some of them had no real point, and this irritates me. I have too much to do to sit there while you argue over the end of the year celebrations.
We can wait until after the "Winter Holiday" break. At least.
Anyway, I have a total of one border stapled up on my bulletin board, no posters, one calendar hung, three clocks, all with differing times, and I have my desk area rearranged from last year and also from the way the technology specialist set it up... I didn't like it.
Not only that, but I am pretty (okay, extremely) computer savvy, so people who I have helped, generally people I know, ask me to help them with their computers and things.
Then they tell their friends, and they ask me for help, but I don't even know them.
I have a problem saying no.
So, I have been spending my time doing other teacher's rooms.
I am tired, I am not ready, and I am frustrated.
At least tomorrow is another day.

It sounds like you are off to a rollicking good start. I spent about 3 hours on Friday, 2 hours on Saturday, and 4 hours on Sunday and my room is ready. The teachers start tomorrow, and the kids on Monday.
Good luck and have a great school year.
Here's an update for you: we are having our Parent Information Night Thursday (Sept. 4) and our principal wants us to tell the (6th grade) parents that the end-of-year festivities have already been set in stone. Since the last one turned into such a clusterf*ck, he wants to nip it in the bud before any bossy parents get a wild hair. ookkkaaayyyyyy. no sweat off our backs.
