And some of it was "Is it because of us?"
Aw, poor noodles.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think many were relieved because I'm not at all the easiest teacher they have.
One of my co-workers who is on my instructional team got so mad that she won't acknowledge me anymore.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is with people? I mean, you're not kicking her puppies on the way out or anything, are you?

What is even happening?
Kat, I think I'd missed (before last night) where you'd said you were leaving. Do you have an elsewhere lined up, yet? Also, all the best to you. I feel sorry for your students. Your courses and assigments always sound so wonderful.

Happy Birthday, Cass!!
I must have missed a day or something, because I'm behind. Kat, what are you doing next? ETA: I'm assuming there is a "next" lined up because of some post or other, but I can't remember what it was. I just remember thinking I needed to ask about that.

Not important enough to say twice.

Cindy, I do have something else lined up at a local middle school. Exactly what is lined up is a still, somewhat of a mystery. But they are expecting me to be there on opening day of school (which is July 5 this year).
I mean, you're not kicking her puppies on the way out or anything, are you?
I think it was the fact that I was so excited and grinning the whole time.

Or it could also be that I'm leaving them halfway through a 2 year cycle. Granted, it's much easier to get a qualified teacher to replace me than if I had left them in January, and my contract runs from 7/1 through 6/30 and I'm not obligated to stay with, contractually, for 2 years.
But maybe she just expected that I would because it would have been the right thing to do for the kids.
But being at that school fills me with such dread and bile that I'm leaving them for MY sake.

Very rude of you to be happy about making a change in your life for the better. Next time, be sure to be fucking up, so she doesn't have to get pissy.
When did this become all about you?

Isn't everyone happy and grinny when they give notice?
