The status is NOT quo.

I posted when I took them, 5:18 board time, so maybe I just need to give it another 15 minutes. Thanks.

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?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, Pix. I can't understand why they would think that.

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.
