I posted when I took them, 5:18 board time, so maybe I just need to give it another 15 minutes. Thanks.
Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.
Pix, how long has it been, and did you eat anything? You might want to try another 1/2 tab of the Ty-co after a half an hour.
You're probably a tight ball of stressed out pain/anger/depression right now, which is just making you tenser. Is there any way you can take a hot shower, or alternate hot/cold packs on your shoulder?
Hijack away, Pix. Though hopefully it's a non-issue by now, what with the unconciousness and everything.
And to top off the day, just got a voicemail from new school saying that though I'm obviously a talented teacher, they don't think I'm a good fit for their community. Which makes me feel like shit, frankly, because clearly I screwed something up on the interview day.
I'm so depressed right now.
Oh for fuck's sake. I don't get that school's decision AT ALL. There is not a damned school community on Earth that wouldn't immediately be better with you as part of it.
I am having a hard time picturing a community that you wouldn't be an asset to. WTF?
Oh, Pix. I can't understand why they would think that.
Oh sweetheart, that just sucks.
Pain-ease for the Pix, please.
Thanks. I won't lie--it's a huge blow right now. Everyone at school and all my family kept treating the job as a done deal as soon as I applied, even though I kept saying "I haven't gotten it yet" to everyone, and now I have to confirm that yes, indeed, they did reject me. And it was a real rejection--the associate head's message confirmed that they brought in a second round of candidates after I had interviewed in the first round since they didn't feel comfortable with any of the first rounders.
I'm still hurting. I feel some relief, but I don't feel like I'm about to pass out. Just slightly less in pain. Better than it was, at least.
Anyway, thank you, Bitches. I appreciate your love and support. I think I'm going to hole up and hide from the world for a little while now.
