hate my job. yep, just hate it. I find it more difficult each day to go there. hate the room move my principal did to me at the beginning of the year, hate watching kids in the computer lab take virtual classes taught by people who have current teaching certificates but I question if they really know what they are doing. hate being isolated in a flipping corner.
I HAVE TO GET A NEW JOB. I CANNOT CONTINUE THIS JOB ANOTHER YEAR. IT IS EATING ME AWAY SLOWLY BUT SURELY.
while I realize other people have bigger problems, etc. I can understand that. but guess what - this is MY life and right now the work part of it sucks beyond all reason.
glad I wasted the time and money to finish my bachelor's degree. all it did was put me in debt. thanks for nothing.
fail

construction failures part 2 and then some
so....they put work orders in to fix this mess. See photo. Who knows how long this will take. The IT guys who need to change the data connection might be more trouble than the electric. haven't seen anything yet.
3 more job application rejections. Wow. Going back to school and finishing my bachelor's degree was a great success into going into debt with student loans. FAIL

construction failures
I can't remember if I complained (HA) about this but....
so last summer they finished construction on our building. I got moved to a new room - to supervise a computer lab with students who take Michigan Virtual High School classes. (another story in itself) I told the principal it was a demotion - he did not agree. Regardless, it was a demotion.
I have been isolated once again, feel very much alone and not part of the team. oh joy. HATE IT. HATE IT VERY MUCH. I have never hated my job like I do now.
back to the room - when it was "finished" the only things that had changed was the room had new furniture, a large screen tv and carpet. Oh, and one new cabinet where the controls for the large tv and corresponding computer are housed.
I complained. Imagine that. I complained loud. Got myself in trouble for doing so but I did succeed in getting new cabinets - like every other room in the building - that would be installed over Winter Break.
So the cabinets were installed last week, I was in the building and checked them out. They look fantastic. One slight problem. They installed them over the jacks work for my computer, my phone and the power.
So I ran into a guy in charge and he rather blew me off. He said - oh we can make cut outs in the backs of the cabinets and put grommets in to pull the wiring up and put my phone on the counter top. Ummmmmm I make attendance calls. Sometimes there are nearly a 100 to make. NOT going to make those from the counter.
I saw the building principal the same day and mentioned it to him. Might as well talk to the wind.
So today, I went up and dropped off my plants that I brought home over break. My desk was put back in the same place it had been (good). There is no where to plug anything in (bad). I sent an email to the principal AND his secretary.
Seeing as I have about 4 things that need to be done first thing on Monday, lets see how long this takes to get fixed.
Stay tuned.

same old and then some
This Christmas break is flying by so fast. We have had a guest from France since the 16th and she is off to stay with her host family from last year for the last few days she is here. Friday we take her back to O'Hare to fly home. I miss her already. And she is still in Portage. She is most definitely my child from another mother. :)
Christmas was busy and crazy, both my siblings were here - my sister with her girlfriend/wife or whatever she is. That was interesting....the woman talks non-stop, loud, drinks a lot. Really don't get why my sister loves her. She was nice but made me (and my mom) crazy.
My brother was good, he is doing well, missing his son terribly though.
We are enjoying being members of St. Tom's rather than St. Catherine's. Many people from St. Catherine's are showing up there....you think the bishop would cop a clue.
Still haven't found myself a new job, despite numerous applications out. I hope, wish, pray, that the right job comes soon. I so badly want to be out of where I am, have an excuse to quit golf as well. I need something new. Be a team player where I am actually on a team that communicates with me, values my input and makes me feel more than an afterthought.
Bleh.
