a rant about work
no not a bitching rant, just a rant....
Some of you may not know this but I teach High School English currently. I am doing summer school teaching at a school that is basically a rehab facility for adolescents. Its real nice, kinda stressful at first but now I am finally used to this environment. LOTS OF RESTRICTIONS but I won't get into that.
I just am excited to have a paying job for the summer so i can buy my tix next week. I only work 4 days a week and get paid very well since its a state facility. I have yet to find employment as a teacher for the 2010-2011 school year though and that is really stressing me out. anyone know a state or city that is hiring for secondary english teachers? hehe

My hotcake stand just went bust, so I'm probably not the best Captain of Industry to dispense employment advice, but while you are teaching I say put out a tip jar. Get a wine carafe and start it off with your own sawbuck and you can tell your students, "This isn't quid pro quo but I'm just saying..." And then if Superintendent Chalmers asks just say it's a collection for the Gulf Babies (and then give a menacing stink eye to your pupils and run your index finger across your neck). 100 folks move to Austin every day so we ain't chock full o' jobs but, hey, you're gonna make it after all!
