Rejection
Yup...so no, I wasn't hallucinating, Danbury called some happy English Major on Friday whilst I was prancing in my pretty pink coat, and gave someone else a job. I, however, was sent a rejection letter on Tuesday - thanking me for applying, but saying that I was not the chosen candidate. I feel like someone just dumped me! That was a cheap shot, complimenting a girl on her coat and then leaving her out in the cold!
In related news, my new coat has changed my life. Now, I get all kinds of attention. Some wanted, some unwanted. heh. Here are some samples:
- Klekolo server ( female - and speaking in a slow, monotone voice without expression)" Woooooow. A pink coat. It is soooo pink. Its like...Barbie pink."
- Mike O. - "I like your coat." Thumbs up! I love coatly adoration.
- PrinciPAL(because principals are always our pals) from the middle school in Wolcott - "Sweetheart! I love the color of your coat! Its so pretty!"
- Old, bummy, Klekolo patron - "Hgugm... (that was a snotty cough-sneeze) well, that sure is a colorful coat. What would you call that color? I wouldn't say purple. That coat sure has some color." Becky - "Heh, its pink" (fake laughs and hides behind Jason with a stern look on her face)
I sent out two more applications for jobs a few days ago. I hope someone calls me back. This is all getting rather annoying. I would appreciate a break at any time now. I want a job, I want to pay back my loans, I want a house, and I need to get back to business. I have narrowed down on the top five things that bother me about substituting, and not having my own classroom:
5 - Teachers who don't have a trash can under or next to their desks...duh! Do it! You will be throwing a lot of shit out! Why walk across the room!
4 - A teacher must have pencils...you don't have pencils, your students will not write. How many students should I really be turning away into the classroom pencil-less just because a TEACHER does not have any pencils.
3 - TAKE ALL THAT TEACHER SHIT OFF YOUR DESK! No kid wants you to have apple themed paraphenalia COVERING the classroom. Its quite tacky.
2 - Put your snot rags in the trash. I know, I know...I am there because you have been getting progressively sicker. BUT, so you want to get the substitute sick with your piles of snotty tissues on the desk? Not a pleasant sight for me to walk in to. Its embarassing too! You are gross and I know it!
1 - please PLEASE PLEASE make a nice tidy seating chart! Its not fun when I call out for Betty Betterson and the freaking person says, ummm...I think you are reading it wrong, my name is Joseph Smoseph. NOT FUN. Seating charts are fun! You get the little papers, and set them up, and write the nicknames of the kids....do a good job, JUST so it.
Tomasio OUT.
