"it's not fair!"
The kid is right, if that's any consolation.
I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

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.

“Not dead yet!”
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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

I'm sorry the place sucked so much, Erin. But I'm very glad you're out.

FIVE teachers have quit?? Damn. Good luck to you, Erin. I'm so sorry it went down that way. You so don't deserve that.
ION, gulp. I am considering taking 2 classes next semester (Spring 09)instead of spreading them out, 1 class in the spring, 1 class in the summer. I've never taken more than one class at a time since I started my degree program!! But then I'd be DONE.
