Oh, Erin, that fucking sucks. I am so sorry.
I cannot believe that anyone wouldn't renew the contract of a dedicated, creative teacher like you.
And this. So very much this.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Dammit, Erin, that's shitty news and shitty timing, and... just... you sound like such a great teacher, passionate and deeply connected to your subject and your kids, and I can't believe that the school lucky enough to have you wouldn't pounce on the chance to keep you. I can't believe that. I'm sorry and rageful.

And, saving my petty pain for a separate post...
I have a row of bad paper cuts across my upper lip where my daughter hit me with a book. It was accidental. Mostly. I'd told Annabel she was only getting one story tonight because it was already a bit past her bedtime. I finished the first book she requested, and then she reached over and grabbed one of her new birthday books and asked me to read it too. I said no, we'd said one book tonight, and she got angry and sort of flailed out her arms, book still in hand, and it caught me hard across the mouth and nose. The corner of the book, a brand new sturdy paperback with extremely crisp pages, caught my lip, hence paper cuts.
Owww, it stings...

Was there mighty guilt on Annabel's part?

Damn, Erin. That sucks. That really, really. sucks.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Damn, Erin. I am so sorry honey. We'll get Pete to add them to The List. And I'll sic our MOKTSP on him.
