I guess it is pretty bad if I am already counting how many days are left after the first week of school. And in fact, if I take all my personal days this year like I have kind of planned on doing, I really only have 163 days left.But there were moments when I was almost in tears this week because I so do not want to be teaching science again. I ( Read more... )

So, school has started again, and here is my only thought I'm going to put here, only 174 more days, 164 if I take all my approved paid leave. 'nuff said ( Read more... )

So, all summer I've been mostly pissed about not getting any of the library jobs. Not that I didn't ever cry or anything. Today at our district convocation, we had our district middle school science meeting in the afternoon. While I was sitting there listening to what the goals for the year were, I started feeling the pressure behind my eyes ( Read more... )

So, I still don't know if he is interested, but I'm guessing not. Although he'll say these little comments sometimes that make me think maybe, but who knows. I asked a mutual friend what they thought my chances of hooking up with him would be, and he said that the guy I like is pretty picky, likes girls with black hair, and that's not me. Also ( Read more... )

Well, as I read through my posting from back in May, I realize I never updated on the job front. Basically I interviewed for 5 different school librayr positions within my district, one of those had two positions at one school, so kind of 6 positions, and I was turned down for every single one. Including the one at my own school, which they gave ( Read more... )

Well, the library job at my own school is no longer posted on the website. And I don't think they'd take it off unless they'd offered it to someone and that person had accepted, and since no one has said anything to me, I'm guessing it's not me. Plus, that makes me think the other school won't hire me, because who would want me if my own ( Read more... )

Okay, so I found out today that the interview for our library will be done together with the interviews for the other middle school position. This sucks a bit because I'm afraid it will keep me from getting the job. When I thought I'd be just interviewing with my own principal who knows me, I wasn't too nervous. But now I have to go do the whole ( Read more... )

Well, it's official, our librarian took the high school library position, which leaves her job open. Hopefully I can get that job. I still have to interview for it. And I'm really hoping the interview is just something they have to do and that I will get the job. If I don't get it, I will seriously consider looking a smaller school district for ( Read more... )

The other vet I took Sydney to yesterday has made me feel a lot more positive about Sydney's situation. I just hope that she's right. Even after I talked to her yesterday I felt worried a little still, and I still have this feeling in the back of my head that I could still be doing something wrong. But, Dr. Schatz said that Sydney was doing a ( Read more... )

Poor Sydney is having back problems again, and I'm a total wreck. She's had back problems before and I've been worried, but never like this. Yesterday morning she yelped when I was scooting over in bed to turn the alarm off, and she'd been kind of acting like she was in pain for a couple days before, not going up the stairs and stuff. But ( Read more... )
