What's upsetting you today? - Page 516

I'll work for bed, board and beer.
Then again, you might find it cheaper to pay for a real duenna at that rate!

Next scan is tomorrow. She is having them every two weeks.
She was asked last time if she wanted to know the gender but declined, because the bf wasn't there. He'll be there tomorrow so I'll know by the end of the day.

We'll see.

Sigh...

I can't even go into it. All I will say is that the bullshit goes on.

Now I need to throw up.

kthx

I'll come down there and kick some ass for you.

I'll kick it good.-_

I might just quit.

HungLikeJesus · 03-21-2012, 01:15 PM

You're not a quitter, IM.

infinite monkey · 03-21-2012, 01:25 PM

You know, I just went out for a smoke and a young man walked by, kind of struttin' and grinnin'. He looked at me and said "I just passed my exam with an A!" Never met him before in my life.

Yeah, that's why I'm here. I gave him a "woot! That's awesome!"

You're right, I'm not a quitter. I'm just sick of the crap. I'm not alone: the other professional staff is feeling the same way.

Sons Spec Ed teacher is leaving next month. Totally pissed. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!
They have developed a fantastic relationship. Heck shes been more a mother than his bio-mom.
Got no idea who will be nor how he'll react to the new one.

Clodfobble · 03-21-2012, 07:06 PM

Sorry classic. That sucks. Leaving mid-year is a big deal, is she pregnant or is there something else going on?

classicman · 03-21-2012, 09:06 PM

$$$$$$$$$
She is leaving to better provide for her family. I don't begrudge her that.
It just sucks that it will come at the expense of my sons last year.
There isn't anyone here to blame. I didn't intend it to come off that way.

BigV · 03-21-2012, 11:31 PM

well... shit.

Aliantha · 03-22-2012, 01:11 AM

That's a real bummer classic, but you never know. Maybe another teacher will come along who is even more wonderful.

It's possible.

Try and be positive

Sorry to hear that man. Burnout rates are high is spec ed, its just very taxing. If we add that to the cultural disdain for teachers and the money issue it can be hard to keep them. Friend of a friend (physics/math) just quit mid-year of his 7th year in favor of an engineering offer. He was tired of the nonsense and more than doubled his income. I hope you get another good one.
