I'm really down in the dumps. I'm still sick (actually worse than my last post) and I'm one day away from being unemployed. As much as I want the school year to be over, I don't want to stop seeing my friends all the time. I've made some great friends at this school and it will be really hard not working with them anymore.
Last week I interviewed at two awesome private schools and the interviews went great. I had a good feeling that I would get at least one of the jobs. I was so wrong. Today I found out from both of them I did not get the job. Ho hum.
One good thing about today was the teacher versus student basketball game. There were 5 teachers so we had to play the whole time and we still won. As I am still not feeling well, I told everyone ahead of time I was going to play the thug. As a fellow teacher put it "The part of Charles Barkley with be play by Janice ______". (Ok, that is only funny if you know basketball). Tiny, little me was totally pushing those boys around. I don't think the boys were expecting it. One boy in particular who probably half a foot taller than me constantly complained about it. My response: "If you're not going to do anything about it, quit complaining about it." He started pushing back when he asked another teacher if he was scared of him. I told him I wasn't and then gave him a shove. Oh yeah, I'm really good at trash talk. It was lots of fun especially since we won.
