enableloveSo I don't know who all knows and doesn't know, but I quit my job in May. I was a third grade teacher at a private school and just wasn't HAPPY. I had been working there for 2 years and left on good terms, thankfully. Can't say the same for the others that left.
Anyway, I've been looking for a job since and got interviewed at 2 places, one charter elementary and one public middle school. I heard back from the middle school and found out I didn't get the job. I was a mixture of relieved and upset because I was terrified of teaching middle school, but it would have been a good challenge and you know, a JOB.
I'm going to probably be a substitute in 3 different districts and hopefully make some contacts that way. I really need something to do and hopefully that works out.
Let's flash back to Wednesday. I had gone into the mall and ran into my old principal. She basically says they need some help and if I can come in Friday (they wanted me to make IDs for the new people, essentially. I was in charge of that and implemented them in the first place). I agreed and went in Friday. The staff there was overjoyed at seeing me and really stroked my ego by wanting me back. The kids all said hi and my old students rushed to hug me (except the boys who are 'too cool' lol) so that was nice. I helped out during the day and my principal asked me to come back tomorrow. I declined and said I'd let her know about Tuesday. While I wouldn't mind a little money coming in, obviously, I didn't want to seem desperate because she'd take advantage, I just know it.
I was talking to my bestie that still works at that school and I told her about not getting the middle school position. She's like maybe I should come into the school and take over the school coordinator position. The thing is, the principal would hire me. On the spot. I'm not saying that bc I'm so fabulous, but because they're in a real need. But there was a reason I left. I don't want to deal with the admin BS that happens at that school and with the parents that think they run the school. If I got the job, I don't think I'd be able to handle it for long. So....I'm thinking about working part time. Like twice a week. I don't know. I just...they actually WANT me for one. It'd be money coming in. Not a lot by any means (the pay SUCKS), but money nonetheless which I don't have. Subbing isn't always consistent unfortunately :/
I'm really in a bind and don't know what to do and the problem with my family is we don't TALK about things like normal people. There are no discussions or advice, it's basically just figure it out on your own and hopefully it works out (that is another issue all on it's own).
So yeah. That's me right now. Any words of wisdom are most welcome.
