'Safe'
[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.
Heaps of job~ma, ChiKat.
Heaps still coming your way, too, Sail.
If I could find someone on this campus (in the president's office or HR - I'm not sure where our paperwork is at the moment) to move things along, I could actually hire someone. I've made phone calls, reminded folks I'm going to be on pregnancy leave so we'd really like to move on this now . . . and no one has returned a phone call or an email. Frustrating!
That sooo sucks, ChiKat. At least you now have a couple of years of experience under your belt, so it should be easier to find a job than last time, right?
Oops. Imperial decree belongs to the Empress.
Feel free to decree by proxy! This situation truly needs a decree-ing.
A pox on them ChiKat!
Oh damn, ChiKat! That sucks. Is it because of the getting-rid-of-drama stuff??
Sparky, ass 'em in the ear. That'll wake them up!
Ooh, Aims, there's a typo in your tagline. It should be "their," not "there."
Cool tagline, though.
Sorry ChiKat
I think when it started raining cats and dog today they for got to let them out of the bag. Eveytime you walk outside it feels like buckets are being dumped on you.
Thanks, tommy. That's what I get for just cutting and pasting and not proofreading.
Thanks, y'all. It does, indeed, suck.
Is it because of the getting-rid-of-drama stuff??
Interestingly, not really. Supposedly, as in promised to the community but their promises aren't worth shit, there will be a semester drama class at 8th grade and an expanded after school drama program. But, there isn't anyone else in my building certified to teach drama.
I've been told it's due to financial issues. Which, again interestingly, a state senator told us at a board meeting last night that the district was spazzing out too early and that the state will pay, albeit late, but the money they owe us is indeed coming. AND, we'll be getting a bit more on top of it from the feds' stimulus package.
I'm one of 4 in my building to get RIF'd. Me, a social studies teacher, a Spanish/art teacher, and ?? I don't know who the 4th one is.
Over 120 teachers in the district are getting RIF'd. I suspect they'll end up hiring back 100 of them. I also suspect I won't be one of them. Admin seems to think that I riled up organized the Save Drama protests by the students and their parents. I didn't, but even if I did, fat lot of good that did.
That really sucks, ChiKat. All the best to you in getting a new (and better) position.
How funny do I find the inherent drama in a "Save Drama" protest? It's oxymoronic, in a weird way.
ChiKat, that totally sucks. I am sorry. It doesn't help, but at least you have the prime teachin job season to send out resumes. Last year, I got my "no contract renewal" speech on May 2nd -- 4 days before major surgery.
My advice? Start NOW, today. It burns like hell, but do not wait.
