[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Somewhere outside a child has been crying and shrieking, "it's not fair!" for the last five minutes.
"it's not fair!"
The kid is right, if that's any consolation.
Vortex, I am so, so very sorry for your loss.

ION, I resigned yesterday from my new job. I felt like I was showering daily in meanness and apathy, and I was spiraling into a very bad mental place. So, I quit.
Guess what? No school-related nightmares for the first time in weeks last night. I am stressed, but I did right.
Anyone know of a job, teaching or otherwise? I'm REAL good at lots of things.
Damn, Erin-- so sorry that you felt that's what you had to do, but on the other hand, go you for recognizing it was sending you to a Bad Place. Lots of new job ~ma headed your way.
Oh wow, Erin. Good on you, and I hope something much better comes up quickly.
Holy shit, Erin. I know how desperately you were looking for work right before the school year started, so for you to quit? That place has to be unbelievably toxic (though I guess now we know why they still had openings so close to the beginning of the year). I'm vibing hard for something better.
Oh, shit, Erin. It hadn't gotten any better, huh? Dang. I was hoping those horrible kids were an anomaly. Sorry they weren't.
Fingers crossed something better comes up really quickly. :(
thanks. Not an easy decision, but I was having hyterical panic attacks at the THOUGHT of going there -- burst into tears when I sat down to work on lesson plans, etc.
I'm SO glad I'm out. I never want to feel like that again.
I called today to arrange to come in to get my stuff. 5 teachers out.
There were some good teachers and good students there, but...the best way I can explain it is like spending money and hour thinking of, buying and making a delicious, nutricious meal, bringing it it in...and half the people knocked it contemptuously into the gutter and took a shit on it. While blocking the hungry people from getting a crumb.
