Poopy economy

[vivien]

I got a new version of the "no thanks, you suck" job rejection today. The school district instituted an immediate hiring freeze, and the position I interviewed for will likely be filled by someone within district. Oh well. I was excited about the better salary and benefits, but not so excited about the actual teaching part. I think that means it's time to get out.

In the meantime, my new motto is "suck it up". I've been complaining and moaning and kvetching waaaay too much. I will now SIU and think of good stuff. Like how I found one of my recommended texts at the library and I'll get to read it before I decide whether to buy it or not. Woo hoo! I have one textbook already that I need to get through Amazon - I'll find out tomorrow whether I need another.

Dammit, dammit, DAMMIT! This is so UNFAIR!

Many hugs will be dispensed tonight and dances to appease the demon of job squashing. Grrr.

Isn't there some kind of golden grant from heaven that would allow you to go to school full time and still support your family? Maybe snorri can crochet silk toilet paper for the rich?

Who needs commuting anyway?

Well, poop.

I'm sorry, even though you were ambivalent about the job in the first place. My mother's a teacher and she faced the exact same problem --- hiring freezes. She finally got a position at Golden High.

Also, wanted to clarify: debellatrix and I are meeting THIS saturday: the 23rd. Can you still come? If not, I'm flexible for the 30th as well, and I think she is too. Let me know.

I'd love to meet!

Sushi Den, right? What time? I'm totally free this Saturday.

Oh, did you get my fic excerpts this time ;) If not, then something wacky is happening (I sent them to your real name address)
