cheap seat
so, looking for cheap seat to New Orleans. Every time I think I got one, it changes price. Sigh.
Today I was talking with another teacher about the trip and he was like, "I have no sympathy for those people. They don't deserve my time and money. It's their own fault for living someplace dangerous."
Wow. Karma, baby. Karma.
Good news is Tami is cool is with airport shuttle duty, which eases some cost. But it's still $400. Oh well. Feels like the right thing to do.
My principal hates me so much he refuses to talk to me at all. He fobs everything that has to do with me off onto somebody else. Today I learned they held interviews with the position that I am supposed to supervise. Um, shouldn't I maybe BE THERE? They make it all my responsibility but I get no input?? Whatever. I feel like I should be indignant, but I can't summon it up really. Shrug. It's all just so damn dysfunctional that I don't even know where to start with chipping away at it.
Tomorrow and the next day I'm kicked out of my classroom. Oh joy. They're testing in my classroom, and i'm sure they'll trash it because the counselor supervising it is rather incompetent. Whatever. Again, feel like I should be indignant, but I'm giving a test and showing a movie. Whatever.
Today some kid started to give me attitude because I wouldn't just tell him the answer, and I was like, "Don't start that with me." I turned to walk away and this other kid (Most Likely to Ice Me) called his name and said something. I got no more attitude. Hey, if they're nice and do all their work, I don't care what devious plans they have hatching.
So, I got information for teaching summer school - it's over $5,000 for teaching 5 hours a day for 6 weeks. That's tight - that's enough more to make me feel comfortable taking off. So, I might apply ... but it requires the principal's signature saying he wants to hire me back. Which, of course he doesn't - because although he's NEVER SEEN ME TEACH, he hates me. Because it's not about my teaching ability - it's about my ability to suck up and play stupid girl. I don't do either.
How crazy am I? I hate my job so I quit everything else and extend my job by almost two months? Wow. I'm a special kind of stupid. But 5K is enough for a year's worth of plane tickets or enough to live well for a year in a developing country.
